Product Description

Review

'The book will be invaluable to those visiting the area for the first time and wanting a one, two or more centre walking holiday, rather than moving on day by day along a long distance trail. The work is of the usual high standard now expected of Britain's most prolific guidebook writer to the Alps. There is plenty of information about the area and the book is well illustrated with both colour and black and white photographs, which demonstrate the beauty of this superb region of the French Alps.' (Alan Castle, Strider) 'This guide covers the five main valleys of the Ecrins ... and describes 70 of the best walks in the region...aimed not only at the experienced Alpine walker, but also at the active hill-walker visiting the Alps for the first time.' (High)


Product Description

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a walking guide, 2 Aug 2009
By E. Ainscow - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book basically describes approach routes to huts where you can start climbing routes and recycled parts of the GR51 guide. Kev Reynolds has made no effort to find walking routes (circular, multiday etc.) in their own right. Buy a map and speak to the Ecrins tourist office people and you'll have a better day out than any of the "walks" in this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to this lovely area, 16 Jul 2009
By Catfish (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
This guide is well up to Kev Reynolds' usual standard. He describes a good selection of walks in all areas of the Ecrins National Park, with clear descriptions and lots of excellent photos.
The only minor criticism would be that none of the walks in the area we visited (Brianconnais) go to the tops - only to cols or refuges - although some of the mountains are easily accessible to walkers.
That said I recommend this book for pleasurable, informative, pre-holiday reading as well as practical on the spot use.
