Book excerpt: This book is a celebration of mountain huts, showcasing the the sheer variety and sometimes quirky nature of these buildings that allow walkers, trekkers and climbers to access remote corners of the mountains. Packed with entertaining stories that bring the places and people to life, it contains descriptions of the author's favourite huts in the Alps, along with suggestions for hut-to-hut tours of 3-13 days duration, including the Tour of Mont Blanc.

For the uninitiated, it unravels some of the mystery of huts and explains how to use them and what facilities to expect. Above all, it illustrates the way in which mountain huts can be truly sociable places, where like-minded people can spend a night or two in the most magical of locations and share a love of wild places.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'appellation "Oisans" désignait la Romanche et le Vénéon. L'usage s'est étendu aux pays de Guisane, Vallouise, Champsaur, Valgaudemar, Valjouffrey et Valsenestre. Le Parc national des Ecrins, à cheval sur l'Isère et les Hautes- Alpes, veille sur ces terres d'accueil exceptionnelles pour le bouquetin maintenant réinstallé et pour toute la faune et la flore alpines si jalousement conservées. Ce sont les hautes terres d'une confrontation ancestrale de l'homme avec la montagne lisible dans tous les paysages des Ecrins. Les randonneurs sportifs mettront entre 11 et 13 jours pour effectuer le grand tour en suivant le GR 54. Plusieurs variantes (GR 54A, GR 54B et GR 54C) permettent de bâtir des parcours moins exigeants sur 2 ou 3 jours. Enfin, le GR 541 qui relie le Pas de la Cavale à Saint-Crépin et sert de raccordement avec le Tour du Queyras, permet de découvrir la riante vallée de Fressinières et ses alpages.
