GRP: Tour Pédestre du Pays du Mont Blanc

Series details

£16.95

A title from an extensive series of light, high quality, paperback guides to the Sentiers de Grande Randonnée, the GR routes, a dense network of long-distance footpaths across the French countryside. Each topo-guide covers either a circular route, or part of a longer path. Supporting the route descriptions are colour extracts from IGN's 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 topographic surveys overprinted with the route. The text is in French, but a large amount of information is conveyed by symbols. A list of all the main places along the route indicates what facilities can be found there: public transport, food shops, and various types of accommodation, with addresses and telephone numbers.

In this guide: 140km circuit in the lower hills to the west of Mont Blanc. 112 pages. Not to be confused with the Tour du Mont Blanc!
