Through The Italian Alps The GTA: Grande Traversata Delle Alpi

This immensely rewarding 46-day long-distance route across the western Italian
Alps is an exciting proposition, taking in a remarkable kaleidoscope of
traditional cultures combined with breathtaking landscapes punctuated by the
landmark stone giants such as the Argentera, Monviso and Gran Paradiso.
Starting a mere stoneís throw from the Mediterranean, the GTA (Grande
Traversata delle Alpi) curves its way high over the fertile Piedmont plain
traversing the Ligurian, Maritime, Cottian, Graian and Pennine Alps, heading
northwards to a brilliant conclusion near the base of Monte Rosa and its
spilling glaciers.
