Description

The GR5 Trail Through the French Alps from Lake Geneva to Nice is a 674km long-distance route that offers a unique hiking experience. This guidebook provides detailed information and maps to help you navigate the well-graded and well-marked paths and tracks, which take you through the stunning scenery of the Alps.

The route starts at the shores of Lac Léman at Geneva and ends at the Mediterranean at Nice, with numerous benefits including good signposting, waymarking, and regular access to lodgings, food, and drink. The paths and tracks are generally well graded, with steep climbs tackled on zigzag paths, making the overall gradient not too severe. This makes the GR5 Trail an accessible and enjoyable trek for moderately experienced walkers and backpackers.

The guidebook includes daily stages, timings, ascents and descents, full-colour mapping and gradient profiles, and full information about facilities and services along the route. It also describes some scenic variant routes, including the GR55 through the Vanoise National Park and the GR52 that crosses the Mercantour National Park, providing additional options for your trek.
