The region of the Southern Alps presents two different faces but of a fascinating beauty: the mas - sif des Ecrins between the cities of Grenoble, Briançon and Gap is not only the highest mountain range of France after Mont Blanc but it can also boast of owning the top of 4000 m the southernmost of the Alps. In the Alps of Haute - Provence, on the other hand, we discover all the magic of Provence with mountains certainly more arid, but bigeragés where the gene dominates, lavender and herbs. The Rother "Southern Alps" Hiking guide here unveils these two different faces that are attractively and constantly renewed along the upper course of the Durance, at the junction point of the Northern Alps and the Alps of the South.

They present in this book 32 hikes full of surprises around the largest French national park (plus 2 big hiking) in the massif of the Ecrins and that of Queyras as well as 18 courses in Haute - Provence between the valley of Ubaye, Sisteron and worthy .
