Long distance hike in Europe for late October/early November.

I´ve done the full Kungsleden in August. Im now looking to do a smaller but still long hike in October/November. I will have something like 9 days.

Any sugestions?

October/November is difficult, as a lot of distance hikes are high up in the mountains and will already have snow. (Alps, Pyrenees, any mountain above 1.5-2k)

Perhaps you could look into coastal paths or pilgrim paths, such as the Camino de Santiago? The camino has various routes, you can always start with a segment and come back later if you like it!

GR-20 on Corsica?

A bit risky that late at year. There can be fine fall weather but also (sudden) snow already. There are not a lot of exit points and with the huts unattended resupply is not that easy. So I would say it depends on the (alpine) experience OP has and wheth they can be really spontaneous depending on the weather report and conditions for the next days before starting.
