From one side of the Alps to the other, meeting people and mountains... The Grande Traversée des Alpes (GTA) between Lake Geneva and the Mediterranean is a long-distance journey. It's an opportunity to break with time and put everyday life on hold!
Part 4: Ubaye, Mercantour and Mediterranean
This is undoubtedly the route with the greatest diversity of landscapes, flora, heritage and architecture in the French Alps.

But make no mistake, the surrounding relief and deep valleys make this a physically demanding itinerary...
A dazzling experience that's a must!
