This guidebook to the Grande Traversata delle Alpi (GTA) provides a detailed 55 day-stage trek through Italy's Western Alps. The route traverses the Lepontine, Pennine, Graian, Cottian and Maritime Alps to finish near Monte Rosa. Split into 3 sections the route can be tackled as a whole or in parts, with transport options given to the trailheads of each section.
Those looking beyond typical alpine destinations, are discovering a region that escaped the developments of modern infrastructure and commercial tourism. An area of high mountain passes, sparkling lakes, clean air, and alpine meadows rich in wildflowers. With a network of paths that enabled travel long before the motor car, the region is ideally suited to exploring on
foot.
This guide covers planning details, including when to go, where to stay and what to bring, as well as information on the local geology, wildlife and natural habitats.
