Methodological note on the number of hikes.
Several articles published in July 2026 quote "more than 600 hikes".
This figure predates two pieces of work carried out since: removing
duplicate routes supplied by several sources at once, and withdrawing
routes that are not covered by an open data reuse licence, notably
some GR® routes subject to rights separate from those of the
producer that publishes them.
The counter shown above and on the home page is regenerated
automatically at each data update: it is the only figure
to quote.
For a description of the project, its methodology and its sources, see the About page.
