Ecrins, France

Date - 05 Sep 2007

Six new routes have been added in this wonderful National Park south east of Grenoble.

The Ecrins National Park offers some excellent walking and with the addition of 6 walks near to the well-known peak of la Meije, coverage of this area is complete for the time being. Previously walks in Vallouise area were added to the site. At some in the coming years I will no doubt return to these mountains and explore the western sector of the National Park.

I had intended to include more walks from Spain and I think this may well be the next item on the agenda with some of the higher peaks in Andalucia on the list. I also have a few other routes recently explored and these will also be added in this major update.

Looking much further ahead, I will return to France as I have 8 routes prepared for the Pyrenees. These are generally routes to mountain huts and include some spectacular scenery.
