Items related to Walking in the Tarentaise and Beaufortain Alps (GUIDE)
Guide to walking and trekking in the Tarentaise and Beaufortain Alps south of Mont Blanc, France, including the Vanoise National Park. An in-depth introduction describes many facets of the Tarentaise and deals with the differences likely to be found between walking in the UK and in the Alps. Following chapters cover six principal mountain regions: Col de la Madeleine; Meribel, Courchevel & Pralognan; between Bourg St Maurice and Champagny; Beaufortain and Northern Tarentaise; Les Chapieux to Nant Cruet; Val d'Isere. 53 day-long outings are described along with four tours of 2, 3, 4 and 8 days duration, providing material for several holidays. In addition, some 40 short outings are described which should please the less addictive walker, or those preferring to remain at more modest altitudes.

About the Author:
Tim has spent most of his life in the North of England, working both in Industry and the University sector. In 1979 he and his wife bought an apartment at Bourg St Maurice for the skiing and soon found that the region around had considerable attraction for walking in summer. As it is just to the south of Mt Blanc, the big mountain has taken all the attention and the Tarentaise has been rather ignored by the Brits. There are many walks of good quality in beautiful places, well documented in the French guides but with often a lack of information on how to get to the start of the walks. Tim therefore investigated the area in depth and built up a mass of knowledge which he has been able to pass on in the form of the Tarentaise guide. It was a natural step to cross the frontier into Italy and follow the Via Alta, whence the Grand Paradiso guide.
