GTA Grande Traversata delle
Alpi - Through the Piedmont to the Mediterranean (65 Stages) - Rother
Guide
With a range of about 900 kilometres and 65,000 vertical metres

Walking Guide is divided into weekly sections, with public transport
readily available at the starting points and destinations.
The authors, Iris Kürschner and Dieter Haas, have reconnoitred the
Western Alps and the routes crossing through them for many years. In this
guide, they wish to share their experiences, provide precise descriptions
of the Stages and pass on a treasure trove of information concerning the
infrastructure, as well as the worthwhile sights and interesting facts
which are met along the way. Maps with the courses of the routes drawn in,
pertinent and descriptive height profiles, and GPS tracks for downloading
have all been provided to supplement this guide, creating an indispensable
companion for trekkers traversing the Alps along the GTA |

stone-built villages, to isolated mountain huts right at the permanent
snowline. If you think you already know Switzerland, but haven't walked in
Ticino, a stunning experience awaits you - and all of the routes are
easily accessible through a network of buses, trains, funiculars, cable
cars and chairlifts. |
