Description
Explore the stunning summer landscapes around Briançon with 40 walking routes in this comprehensive guidebook. From easy to very hard walks, ranging from 4 to 21km, the routes take you through the valleys of Clarée, Cerveyrette, Ayes, Durance and Guisane, as well as the area around Vallouise and Montgenèvre.
Alongside detailed route descriptions and maps, the guidebook provides practical advice on when to visit and the best bases for exploring the region. Discover the unique plants and wildlife of the Briançonnais, a mountain wilderness packed with snow-capped peaks, idyllic Alpine valleys, pastures full of wildflowers, sparkling alpine lakes, historic hill forts and a labyrinth of quiet paths.
With its rural charm and milder climate than the northern Alps, this region is ripe for discovery. This guidebook is the perfect place to start your exploration of the Briançonnais, with stunning photographs adding to its appeal.
