A map to plan your outings in the Écrins

The IGN TOP75 Écrins Massif Oisans Champsaur map is designed for mountain lovers who want a clear overview of the area. It covers a major Alpine region, encompassing high peaks, glacial valleys, high-altitude villages, lakes, mountain passes, and major hiking trails.

It is particularly useful for planning a trip around the Écrins National Park, the Oisans region, and the Champsaur valley. All in one map, it allows you to visualize access points, terrain features, main roads, and connections between the different valleys.

Therefore, it is suitable for both pre-trip planning and general reference while you're there.

Oisans, Champsaur, and major mountain trails

This area of ​​the Alps offers a great diversity of landscapes. The Oisans region captivates visitors with its dramatic peaks, deep valleys, and access to major mountain passes. The Champsaur region offers a more open atmosphere, nestled between mountain pastures, peaks, streams, and villages.

The map helps locate GR® trails, hiking routes, local roads, mountain huts, viewpoints, and tourist sites. Contour lines and elevation markers also provide a better understanding of the terrain before choosing a route.

It can also be used by cyclists. The complete road network allows you to identify mountain passes, valleys, and possible routes to create a course suited to your skill level.

A good compromise between overview and precision

The 1:75,000 scale allows you to view the entire mountain range. This is useful for comparing different areas, planning stages, or understanding distances between valleys.

In addition, the five 1:25,000 scale extracts provide a finer level of detail on selected areas. They are useful for planning short hikes, loops, or more specific outings.

This map is therefore a good resource for planning a trip to the Écrins, Oisans, or Champsaur regions. For very technical hikes or hikes off marked trails, it can be supplemented with a local IGN TOP25 map.
