Massif des Ecrins presented at 1:25, 000 on an encapsulated waterproof wall map, size 100 x 132cm (39.5” x 52” approx), with cartography of IGN’s excellent TOP25 series. The map combines most of TOP25 maps 3336ET & 3436ET, with coverage extending from the Lac du Chambon, La Grave & Col du Lautaret in the north to the Refuge du Clot & Puy-St-Vincent in the south, & from west of les Deux Alpes & Vénosc eastwards to le Monêtier-les-Bains. The base map & the overprint highlighting hiking & ski trails, campsites & refuges, etc, is the same as in the corresponding TOP25 maps. As on the TOP25 maps, the Tour de l’ Oisans (GR 54) is marked but not the whole course of it is included in this title.LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
