The Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne (HRP) is a long-distance footpath in the Pyrenees.
Like the GR 10 and the GR 11, the path travels the length of the Pyrenees from coast to coast. However, where the GR 10 and GR 11 stick mainly to lower routes and mountain passes on the French and Spanish sides of the border respectively, the HRP follows a high course through the mountains, frequently crossing the border to follow the highest walkable route.
It was created by Georges Véron in 1968.
