Problems can arise where different routes intersect, for example, in the Jura, the GTJ (Grand Traversée du Jura) and the GR5 both use red and white waymarks. Waymarking is done by volunteers, and the standard is usually high. However, GR routes do change from time to time, either temporarily or permanently.

Once in Switzerland the waymarking changes to yellow diamonds. These apply to all footpaths, and this short section of the GR5 is not distinctly marked. The route is followed by looking out for the regular signboards with directions to particular places.

Safety and health

UK citizens should currently obtain a European Health Insurance Card before leaving home; this entitles you to the same services as French citizens, although visits to doctors or hospitals are not completely free. In addition, purchasing suitable insurance is recommended, particularly for non-EU citizens. Another valuable source of advice and treatment of minor ailments is the pharmacie (chemist’s shop).
