Italy's Grande Traversata delle Alpi by David Jordan

Italy's Grande Traversata delle Alpi by David Jordan

A guidebook to the 809km Grande Traversata delle Alpi trek through the western Italian Alps traversing the Lepontine, Pennine, Graian, Cottian and Maritime Alps to finish at Ventimiglia. The guide splits the route into 3 sections with 55 day stages. A good level of fitness is required to tackle the route as it contains nearly 60,000m of ascent.

David's earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak 'instamatic' camera and notebook. Many years on, little has changed (although the cameras have definitely improved). Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found. After many years of hiking and camping around the UK and various corners of the Alps and Norway, David started exploring further afield with trips in Australia, New Zealand, then the US, undertaking several sections of the Appalachian Trail, and in 2016 a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. Returning to the Alps, David spent 4 years researching and exploring the Grande Traversata Delle Alpi.
