From Alpine pass to the Mediterranean.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Grande Traversata delle Alpi, often referred to as the GTA, follows the Western Italian Alps towards Ventimiglia. This guide begins at the Nufenen Pass on the Swiss side and leads into the Italian mountain and valley regions. The route offers a different perspective than a circular tour within a single known massif, incorporating villages and local accommodations as integral parts of a continuous mountain journey. <\/p>\n

Fifty-five stages across three main sections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The approximately 809-kilometer route is divided into northern, central, and southern sections. The stage divisions and transport options at the end of each section make it possible to break the project into several trips. You can thus choose a shorter part of the GTA or use the book as a basis for planning the entire extensive journey towards the coast. <\/p>\n

Maps and information for an extended mountain trek.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Route descriptions and maps are supported by practical information on planning, accommodation, transport, and execution. The book helps you understand the connections between mountain groups and how choices impact the stages. It also provides background on the landscapes and places along the way, allowing the trip to encompass both mountain experiences and encounters with local communities along the western side of the Italian Alpine region. <\/p>\n

For experienced trekkers with good capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GTA involves a very significant cumulative ascent and descent, with several stages proving demanding even when the distance is moderate. Snow conditions, weather, and open accommodations must be assessed according to the season. This guide is suitable for independent mountain trekkers who wish to plan thoroughly and adapt their itinerary based on experience, local conditions, and realistic timeframes for an extended period in alpine terrain. <\/p>\n

A long tradition of hiking guides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes \u2013 a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences. <\/p>\n
