Overview

The French Alps aren't just mountains-they're entire worlds, folded into ridgelines, lakes, and quiet valleys where each trail leads to something unexpected. From the mirror-like calm of Lac Blanc at sunrise to ancient carvings hidden in Mercantour stone, the real magic happens one day hike at a time. This guide was made for hikers who want more than just a path from A to B. Inside, you'll find real, usable detail-routes that begin where public transport drops you, trails broken down by region and season, and stops for the best cheese or a cold drink after your descent. Whether it's your first hike out of Annecy or a high-altitude push in the Écrins, every section is shaped to help you step into the mountains with confidence, not guesswork. Covering the Northern Alps through the Southern rim-Chamonix, Annecy, Vanoise, Écrins, Queyras, Mercantour-this edition brings together trail-tested insights with regional accuracy. You'll get local rules, weather timing, cable car logistics, and how to choose the right route for your group-whether hiking solo, with kids, or a dog in tow. No filler. Just what you need to hike well, hike safely, and hike like you know the terrain before you lace your boots. And when you're standing at 2,300 meters with a view stretching into Italy, you'll know this wasn't just another guide-it's what got you there, ready. Grab your copy now and start planning the kind of hikes you won't forget.
