The only one UPDATED Ecrins GUIDEBOOK – grades and descriptions
Classic Routes in the Écrins is a modern guidebook to summer mountaineering in the Écrins (Dauphiné, Oisans, Valgaudemar and Valjouffrey). Focusing on climbs of moderate difficulty but encompassing all styles of routes, it will be an indispensable aid to planning your alpine adventures.
As well as classic routes and famous peaks, it presents numerous less-prestigious but equally beautiful summits and passes, together with variants, ideas for traverses and a selection of multi-day alpine circuits.
The up-to-date route descriptions take into account recent changes caused by reduced snow cover and glacial retreat. For every route, detailed information about the approach, the climb and the descent is followed by advice on the best strategy to adopt for the climb.• 80 routes (from F to D)
• 20 variants
• 10 alpine tours
• Descriptions that take into account glacial retreat
your COMMENTS about this guidebook
20 mai 2018 – Hello Sebastien. Many thanks for the speedy receipt of my book, I was very impressed with how quickly it arrived.
We love the book it will be very useful when we come out in four weeks time. I think we would like to purchase the other guide you have also, in English, but I note that you mention a second book that will include le meije? When will this book be available, that is our big target to climb in June so we are interested to see the next book also. I look forward to hearing from you, and congratulations on a fantastic guide book. Kind regards. Hayley Webb.

jgregson.arktikos –
As the existing English language guidebooks (published in the UK) are now very dated, it has been great to see the more modern ones from Editions Constant. Having used the ‘Snow & Ice Routes’ version of the Ecrins guide, it is very nice to now see the ‘Classic Routes’ follow-up, which provides a great selection of routes and peaks aimed at those climbers who do not necessarily aspire to the most difficult or demanding climbs. The information is very much up-to-date and has the authenticity of coming from one with such comprehensive knowledge and experience of the area. The photographs and ‘topo’ information is excellent, and the page layouts make the guide very easy to use, and certainly complement the maps for the areas covered. It is very likely that this well-designed and well-written guidebook will help to re-kindle interest among British alpinists in particular for the very attractive peaks of the Ecrins and serve them well. If only all guidebooks were so handsome to look at, and easy to navigate.Looking forward to seeing modern coverage for La Meije and it’s close neighbours. ‘Chapeau, Sebastien – et merci!’ James Gregson (UK)
