Guidebook to the Grande Traversata delle Alpi (The GTA) taking walkers across the western Italian Alps in a spectacular and immensely rewarding 47-day long-distance trek. The GTA traverses the Ligurian, Maritime, Cottian, Graian and Pennine Alps, heading northwards to a brilliant conclusion near the base of Monte Rosa.

Seasons

Late June to mid-September. There may be some spring snow early on, but the treks goes from south to north so this is minimised.

Centres

Starts Viozene north of Genoa, finishes near Monte Rosa. Visits no main towns but public transport to Turin then Aosta always possible to leave the route.

Difficulty

At 630km (400 miles) split into 47 stages it is a long way and passes through some tough but rewarding alpine terrain. Can be split for those with less time. A stern undertaking.
