Guidebook to walking the 176 km Tour of the Oisans : The GR54 trek around the Dauphiné massif and Écrins National Park to the east of Grenoble in France. This popular walk on the GR54 is similar in quality to the celebrated Tour of Mont Blanc.

Seasons

Avoid before mid-July (snow on highest cols). Accommodation busiest midJuly–end August. Sept is ideal and October can be good, though some accommodation shut in Oct.

Centres

Begins and ends at Bourg d'Oisins, passing through La Grave, Vallouise and La Chapelle-en-Valgaudemar

Difficulty

Tough.... perhaps one of Europe's hardest treks. Scrambling, but no technical mountaineering skills required. High, steep and remote in places, with some uprotected exposed sections... need a good head for heights.
