Alpes Maritimes, Alpes de Haute-Provence, Mercantour

De Cicerone wandelgids en/of fietsgids heeft een handzaam formaat en de informatie in de gids is steeds bijzonder compleet. De tochten zijn geordend per streek, met diverse uitstapjes in de locale historie.

Start/eindpunt, afstand en hoogteverschillen zijn prima aangegeven. Verder kleur kopieën van de topografische kaarten 1:50.000 met de wandelroutes ingetekend. Zijn wat minder dan bij de meeste Duitse gidsen maar gecombineerd met een goede topografische kaart is dit geen probleem.

Daarnaast is er algemene informatie, een handig lijst van adressen en telefoonnummers van medische voorzieningen, openbaar vervoer, toeristische informatie, etc.

This guide offers 30 circular day walks in the eastern half of Provence, the large sun-kissed coastal region of south-east France. Spanning from the red rocks in the Ésterel on the Mediterranean to high mountains inland, the walks are set in the areas of the Alpes Maritimes, the Alpes de Haute-Provence and the Mercantour.

Provence’s sunshine and Mediterranean charm attract many visitors to its coast, yet the area also has much more to offer the walker. The countryside inland boasts a range of scenery from remote mountaintops to spectacular gorges. History is everywhere, in medieval villages, arcaded streets, abbeys, churches and castles.

This guide covers the eastern regions, with its companion volume, Walking in Provence: West, covering the rest of this fascinating and historic landscape. The walking is incredibly diverse, and explores the country that hugs the Côte d'Azur and Italian border. The Alpes Maritimes rise craggy and wild above towns as unique as Grasse, Cannes and Monaco. The Mercantour National Park in contrast is a partially uninhabited area of high mountains, alpine lakes and red rock gorges known for its wildlife. Further north in the Alpes de Haute-Provence is a largely unspoilt geological playground, including such spectacles as the Verdon Gorge with villages and ancient sites throughout.

Suitable for all walkers of average fitness levels, the walks range from 4 to 21 kilometres in length, and are graded for difficulty from short, easy routes to more challenging walks that can include precipitous sections, but no special equipment is needed.

30 day walks in the Alpes Maritimes, Alpes de Haute-Provence and Mercantour in the sunny south-east corner of France
walks illustrated with clear sketch maps and height profiles, as well as inspiring photographs
all the practical information required for a perfect trip from public transport to maps and market days.
