The magic of Provence combined with snow-capped peaks over 4,000 meters - the eastern Dauphiné reveals two excitingly beautiful and very different faces: Between the cities of Grenoble, Briançon, and Gap rise the southernmost 4,000-meter peaks of the Alps in the Écrins massif. In the Provençal High Alps - the Haute Provence - one encounters mountains filled with broom, lavender, and fragrant herbs. The Rother hiking guide "Dauphiné East" presents 50 wonderful hikes and multi-day tours in these two regions. The two authors, Iris Kürschner and Dieter Haas, spark curiosity about an untouched landscape that is rarely experienced in the Alpine region. Around France's largest national park, the Parc national des Écrins, a variety of hikes are introduced, including long-distance hikes and two-day tours.
