Unveiled in 1937, the Route des Grandes Alpes (Great Alps Route) is the most beautiful of mountain hiking trails. It runs from Thonon-les-Bains to Menton, from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, is 684 km long and includes 16 passes, among the highest in the French Alpine massif: six of them culminate above 2,000 metres. The trail guides car drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, touring cyclists (and sometimes even … intrepid ramblers!) through a land whose natural and cultural heritage is exceptional.
The Route des Grandes Alpes traverses six Alpine Departments (Haute Savoie, Savoie, Isère – via its variants – Hautes Alpes, Alpes de Haute Provence, and Alpes Maritimes) and is accessible in its entirety from June to October or in sections before the snow is removed from the highest passes. It provides an open space where everyone can choose their own pace and their own route, according to their mode of travel and their interests.Route des Grandes Alpes .VIDEO
