Guidebook to walking in the Écrins national park, France. The Massif des Écrins is one of the most spectacular regions in all the Alps. Most of the area is a national park, with summits over 3000m high. Well-marked trails and a network of alpine huts make the Ecrins accessible to walkers.
This guidebooks describes 70 mountain walking routes in the Ecrins National
Park. Easily reached from Grenoble, the Massif des Écrins is one of the most
spectacular regions in all the Alps. Most of the area is a national park,
containing bold mountains hung with glaciers, and more than 100 summits over
3000m high. The park offers a profusion of alpine flowers, and romantic old
villages and hamlets huddle in the valleys.
This is mountain
country par excellence, but hundreds of kilometres of well-marked trails and a
network of alpine huts make the Ecrins accessible to walkers. The highest peaks
form a block at the very heart of the range, with a diverse assortment of
valleys surrounding or spreading from it – Vallée de la Romanche, Vallée de la
Guisane, Vallée de la Vallouise, Valgaudemar, Valjouffrey and Vallée du Vénéon.
For this second edition of the guide, Kev Reynolds has chosen the best routes
from each of these valley bases.
- 70 full- and half-day walks in France’s largest national park
- Walks graded for difficulty – suitable for all experienced walkers, from alpine novices to experts
- Useful information on refuge accommodation and all other aspects of walking in the region
