A friend of mine put me onto to this, it's a great map of the French Alps.
Published by IGN, it's called "Routes des Grandes Alpes" It's a shaded relief map that highlights the scenic backroads through the Grand Alpes, but it also gives details of the hights and steepness of the various passes. Available from Stanfords - www.stanfords.co.uk (there site was down this morning) for about £6.00 plus carriage. You can get it from Amazon, but it's expensive & they don't stock it. It's currently on the wall in my office as I ponder my choice of routes.. Just 16 days until I go on tour ![]() ![]() If anyone else has any suggested maps/books, let me know and I'll make a list and sticky it. . |

Just bought, cheers for the suggestion looking forward to it coming through my letter box.
edit - delivery is going to be delayed, forgot to check the availability on the order, hopefully it'll be with me before I head off. Last edited by Tim in Belgium; 08-08-07 at 02:24 PM. |

Well it arrived today, looking at it I did about 70% of the marked route last year, but still a great map for the French alps and for getting me fired up for my trip in 4 weeks time.

Departing 8th September, a couple of days at the ring, et puis les vosges, des alpes, Osterreich, Slovenia and then onto Croatia if all goes well, and back..via my old stomping ground in Leuven. A leisurely two weeks if all goes to plan.

Just watch out for those miserable Austrian coppers looking to empty your wallet into theirs Tim. 65 Euros if caught without a carnet - *******s!
Have a great trip! ![]() |
