Walking Tarentaise and Beufortaine

Walking in the Tarentaise & Beaufortain Alps  

This guidebook covers the delectable mountains south of the Mt Blanc group to include the Vanoise National Park. An in-depth introduction describes many facets of the Tarentaise and deals with the differences likely to be found between walking in the UK and in the Alps. Following chapters cover six principal mountain regions: Col de la Madeleine; Meribel, Courchevel and Pralognan; between Bourg St Maurice and Champagny; Beaufortain and Northern Tarentaise; Les Chapieux to Nant Cruet; Val d'Isere. 53 day-long outings are described and four tours of 2, 3, 4 and 8 days' duration, providing material for several holidays. In addition, some 40 short outings are described which should please the less addictive walker, or those preferring to remain at more modest altitudes.
