Biographical note
David and #039;s earliest memories of walking adventures were family holidays, let loose among trees and fields with a Kodak and #039;instamatic and #039; camera and notebook. Many years on, little has changed (although the cameras have definitely improved). Still the highlights of each passing year are the opportunities to roam, explore, photograph and document what was found. After many years of hiking and camping around the UK and various corners of the Alps and Norway, David started exploring further afield with trips in Australia, New Zealand, then the US, undertaking several sections of the Appalachian Trail, and in 2016 a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. Returning to the Alps, David spent 4 years researching and exploring the Grande Traversata Delle Alpi.A guidebook to trekking the Grande Traversata delle Alpi (GTA) from the Nufenen Pass on the Swiss border to Ventimiglia on the Mediterranean coast. Covering 809km (503 miles), this often overlooked long-distance trek through the western Italian Alps takes around 2 months to hike and is suitable for experienced alpine trekkers.
The route is described from north to south in 55 stages, each between 7 and 26km (4–16 miles) in length. The route is divided into 3 sections with transport options given for those wanting to break the trek into shorter sections.
