The Tour of the Ecrins National Park (GR54) is arguably the finest trek
in the Alps. It is an epic journey around the unforgettable Écrins which
has the highest mountains in the French Alps outside of the Mont Blanc
Massif. This is one of France's 'crown jewels' and yet is hardly known
to the English speaking world.
- 193km
- 9-12 days
- 12,000m of altitude gain
- 14 mountain passes
Unspoilt and remote high mountain terrain: snow frosted summits,
beautiful valleys and pastures, sparkling azure lakes, carpets of wild
flowers, the soothing sound of cow bells and easy to follow paths. This
trek should be on your hiking bucket list.
