About the Grande Traversée des Alpes
La Grande Traversée des Alpes - also known as the Grand Traverse of the Alps - is the most rugged and alpine section of the GR5 long-distance hiking trail. Spanning over 600 kilometers, it runs from Thonon-les-Bains on the shores of Lake Geneva to Nice on the Mediterranean coast. While the route briefly crosses into Switzerland, it primarily follows the French Alps along the French-Italian border. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and challenging thru-hikes in the Alps, the trail attracts hikers who complete it either in a single continuous journey or in shorter sections. The traverse showcases an extraordinary range of alpine landscapes, including dense forests, high mountain passes, flower-filled meadows, steep ridgelines, and crystal-clear rivers and lakes. Passing through several national parks and protected areas, the route offers frequent wildlife sightings and dramatic scenery throughout. Typically requiring several weeks to complete, La Grande Traversée des Alpes is a demanding yet deeply rewarding journey through the heart of the Alpine mountain range.
