The goal of this Collection is simple: to present you with 15 summits over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) which are epic for hiking. From the Vanoise massif to the Cerces, the Écrins, the Ubaye and the Mercantour, the summits in this Collection are superb intermediaries between the middle mountains and the highest alpine peaks.
You don't need to be an experienced mountaineer or put on crampons, helmets and harnesses for these routes. However, you must be in good physical shape and have the drive to challenge yourself. Your efforts will be rewarded with spectacular views of the Alps, whether French, Italian or Swiss. Passing the 3,000-metre mark is of course symbolic, but it’s no less magnificent.
Most of the itineraries pass by refuges where you can eat, refill your water reserves, and also divide the longest routes in two if you wish.
Some of these hikes are accessible by car, others by bus or train. Whenever possible, I recommend that you use public transportation.
Summer is the best time for taking on these fantastic ascents. If you start too early in the season, you risk encountering snowfalls and other dangerous conditions. Many cities, villages and ski resorts have online webcams that allow you to check the state of the summits, winter and summer. Be sure to check them out before you hit the trails: you can see if the snow has melted and whet your appetite for the adventure ahead.
