The Great Treks of the Alps: The Tour of the Ecrins National Park

​​The Tour of the Ecrins National Park is also known as the GR54. It is arguably the best trek in the Alps. It is an incredible walk of 193km (120 miles) around the incomparable Ecrins National Park in the Southern French Alps. It takes  9-12 days. On the way, 14 magnificent mountain passes are crossed. It is almost certainly the finest trek that you have never heard of! The Ecrins Massif is the second highest range of mountains in the French Alps: the Mont Blanc Massif is of course the highest.

Unspoilt and remote high mountain terrain: snow frosted summits, beautiful valleys and pastures, sparkling azure lakes, carpets of wild flowers, the soothing sound of cow bells and easy to follow paths. What more could you ask for from a hike in the Alps?

​Hiking in the Ecrins National Park is a tranquil experience as there are much fewer walkers than in other Alpine regions. And there are plenty of other activities to experience on rest days such as mountain biking or via ferrata. 

All our walking guidebooks include Real 1:25,000 Maps for each stage or hike. So there is no need to buy a separate map.
