About the Book

The Parc National Des Ecrins contains some of the most spectacular scenery in the whole Alpine range. Easily accessible by public transport, and with several picturesque valleys in which to make a base, this, the largest national park in France, offers a selection of walks - each one revealing breathtaking views. Kev Reynolds has picked 70 of the best routes from some of the finest valleys for this book. They include a full exploration of the valleys of the Romanche, Guisane, Vallouise, Valgaudemar and Veneon, with clear mapping of each valley.
