French Alps: Grand Traverse
September 5 - 16, 2021
This is Europe at its most wild and unexplored, a 'grand traverse' in the classic sense as we blaze a trail through the French Alps—traveling in style, with nights spent at elegant inns and mountain lodges—from Mont Blanc all the way to the sun-kissed beaches of the Cote d’Azur.
We believe our greatest adventure always lies ahead. And so we search the most beautiful corners of Earth. We share what we find, and encourage everyone to spend more time outdoors and to discover the unforgettable joys and lessons only true backcountry can offer. Join us to blaze the trails less traveled in every corner of the world, and to be stewards of the lands we travel through and of the trails we take.
