Back at Work. The wonderful days in the Cottian Alps are still having an effect, not letting go completely yet. But on the desk there are current topics about urban trees. It's worth taking care of them and seeing to it that things are in order. This leads to a small city walk, starting with my own small

Transhumance - Final stage above the Valle Stura, on the tracks of sheep farming and pastoralism. The transhumance of large flocks of sheep from the Rhône delta to the summer pastures of Haut-Provence and the Piedmontese Alps, maintained for many centuries, was likely a factor in the shaping of Occitan

Gardetta - The Gardetta high valley around the hut of the same name is now a popular destination. The name itself already points to the military-strategic importance that the Gardetta had for a long time: a "watch post" between the important valleys of Maira, Grana, and Stura, significant in the 18th

Occitania - The GTA has existed as a long-distance hiking route through the Piedmontese Alps since the 1980s, but it was only through the sustainable commitment of the German cultural geographer Werner Bätzing that it could establish itself permanently. His hiking guides on the GTA made it popular, especially

Here, young people are getting involved, developing a concept to lead regionally rooted, sustainable tourism into a future appropriate for their generation. Admirable, we feel comfortable

(Re)Connection - The spontaneous hiking group tackles another common stage before their paths diverge again. An otherwise special stage: it leads once more over the main ridge of the Alps, on an ancient pass route over the Col de Mary/Maurin (2641 m), partly on the old mule track reinforced with rough

Ubaye rather than Dubai - a motto that originated on the go and perfectly summarizes the day's impressions.
We start at nine o'clock, continue from the hut further into the valley, exceptionally on the road to the hiking parking lot, because the hiking trail is closed due to forestry work, which cannot

We divided the long original stage of the GR5 to Ceillac into two smaller portions, which brought us to the friendly Montbardon and allowed for an overnight stay in the original Refuge de la Cime. The path in between is very easy today and only goes over the not-so-high Col Fromage (2301 m). You can

Sunday tranquility at Izoard - The Queyras is one of the most remote regions of France, accessible by motor vehicle only through a narrow gorge and two high passes, which are closed in winter. In summer, however, these pass roads are very busy, especially with motorcyclists, who wouldn't be so bothersome

On foot, one gets everywhere - A seemingly benevolent inspiration had us plan a rest day in Briançon right at the beginning of the tour, for acclimatization. The day when it rained and thundered so much that we wouldn't have made it over the pass. The Montgénèvre and Izoard passes were closed due to

The bus, which didn't want to take us last year, brings us punctually from the Oulx station to La Vachette and to the Bistrot „Les Copains d’a Bord“. There we wanted to eat a little to start, and we had something to make up for. Then, after a few steps, we immediately head onto the mountain path, through

That was a truly escapist tour today - even though I only connected two project appointments on foot! I walked through the city without seeing anything of the city, almost anyway, here and there a few houses or striking buildings, bridges above all. The traffic could be heard, but I only had to cross
