Massif du Mont Blanc presented on an encapsulated waterproof wall map, size 100 x 131cm (39.5” x 51.5”approx), with cartography of IGN’s excellent TOP25 series reduced slightly to 1:28, 000, plus an additional enlargement for the glaciers between the Aiguille du Midi & the peak of Mont Blanc. The map combines sections from the two TOP25 Mont Blanc sheets (3630OT & 3531ET), plus part of the adjoining 3530ET map to provide coverage from Sixt & the FR/CH border crossing north of Vallorcine southwards to the Refuge des Mottets. Coverage

Includes::
Chamonix, Argentière, les Houches, etc, & on the Italian side Courmayeur. The base map & the overprint highlighting hiking & ski trails, campsites & refuges, etc, is the same as in the corresponding TOP25 maps. An enlargement shows the glaciers between the Aiguille du Midi & the peak of Mont Blanc with greater clarity. As on the TOP25 maps, the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) 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.

Includes::
50 great day walks of 3-20km, & 4 multi-day treks, taking in a variety of terrain including valley footpaths, airy ridges & via ferratas. Walks are Graded 1 to 3: grade 1 walks are manageable by any reasonably fit person on good, usually waymarked paths, while grade 3 routes are long, tough routes, often without waymarking, making navigation difficult: there could also be some scrambling. in addition there is often a valley walk that can be done whatever the weather, or on rest days, with children, by bike, or as a run. The major centres of Chamonix & Courmayeur are often busy with holidaymakers, but the area has walks equal to anywhere for views, terrain & variety, with their sublime glaciers, high snowy summits, flower-bedecked slopes & rocky trails. Be it spring, summer or autumn, the sheer beauty & range of the walking here will satisfy any hiker
- & there are plenty of facilities for the end of the day.
