Wandelgids The GR5 Trail Meer van Geneve naar Nice Cicerone Guidebooks

The GR5, or 'Grande Traversée des Alpes', is one of the most spectacular and long-distance mountain trails in the world. It runs from the shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), over the French Alps, to the reach the Mediterranean coastline at Nice. The GR5 is not simply a linear walk, but bristles with the alternatives and variants described in this guidebook. To begin with, there are two starting points on Lac Léman – either at Thonon-les-Bains or St Gingolph. Then there are two finishing points on the Mediterranean – either at Nice or Menton. Because there are a good many variant and alternative routes available, the GR5 can measure anything from 645-725km (400-450 miles). If the whole distance seems too long to contemplate, the GR5 can easily be broken into short stages. Public transport to and from a dozen points along the route is excellent, and many other points also have a reasonably good level of service. includes daily stages, timings, ascents and descents. full-colour mapping and gradient profiles. details all the facilities and services on the GR5 trail from start to finish.
