THE SOUTHERN ALPS
The Southern Alps, encompassing the Maritime and Cottian ranges, is a dramatic frontier of granite peaks, deep valleys, and glacial lakes. It spans the French Riviera’s rugged hinterland into Italy’s Piedmont region.
This is a land of profound contrasts, where Mediterranean air meets high-altitude wilderness. Ancient fortresses, picturesque alpine villages, and world-class ski resorts define its Franco-Italian culture.

Local Tips & Transport
Car is Essential for Flexibility: While major towns are connected by regional rail (TER), a car offers the necessary flexibility to explore the more remote valleys, scenic cols (mountain passes), and trailheads that are the heart of this region.
Mountain Passes: Be aware that many high-altitude mountain passes (cols) are closed by snow from roughly November to late May or early June. Always check the status before planning a drive.
Regional Trains (TER): The train network is useful for valley-to-valley travel, such as the scenic line from Nice to Tende (the Train des Merveilles), offering spectacular views and connecting to smaller towns.
In-Resort Shuttles: Major ski resorts (like Serre Chevalier or Les Deux Alpes) offer free or very affordable shuttle buses within the resort area, which is highly recommended for navigating after a day on the slopes.
Autostrada vs. Regional Roads: Major Italian cities and the plains are connected by fast autostrade (motorways, often tolled). To reach the high mountain valleys, you will transition to smaller, slower but very scenic regional roads.
Vignette/Permit for Tunnels: When crossing into France or Switzerland via major tunnels (like the Mont Blanc Tunnel or Great St. Bernard Tunnel), there is a significant toll charge, so factor this into your budget.
Valle d’Aosta Railways: The Aosta Valley has a highly efficient regional train network that connects the main towns in the valley, making it easy to travel between hubs like Aosta, Courmayeur, and Pont-Saint-Martin.
Winter Driving: If visiting between November and April, it is a legal requirement in many northern regions to have either winter tires or snow chains on board your vehicle.
Embrace the Randonnée Culture: The French Alps are a hiking mecca (randonnée). Always carry a detailed map (like IGN maps) and wear appropriate footwear. Greet every passing hiker with a cheerful “Bonjour!”
Alpine Hut (Refuge) Etiquette: If staying at a refuge (mountain hut), reservations are compulsory, especially in high season. Expect communal dining, basic facilities, and a “lights out” policy, as well as a hearty, fixed-menu dinner.
The Local Cuisine: Don’t miss the rich, comforting mountain fare. Try Tartiflette (potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons, and onions) or the simple, delicious Tourtons (small savory or sweet fried pockets).
Hidden Gems:
Gorges du Verdon: Visit this magnificent canyon, often called “Europe’s Grand Canyon,” for kayaking on the turquoise river or rock climbing on the towering walls.
The Fortified Town of Mont-Dauphin: This UNESCO World Heritage site, designed by military architect Vauban, is a stunning example of 17th-century military architecture high in the mountains.
The Écrins National Park: Less crowded than Mont Blanc, this park offers some of the most dramatic and unspoiled high-mountain landscapes in Europe.
Language: While English is often spoken in major tourist hubs like Chamonix, a working knowledge of French is essential in smaller towns and refuges.
A Different Pace: Life in the Italian mountain villages often follows a slower, more relaxed pace. Don’t rush your meals—they are a cultural centerpiece. Dinner, or cena, often starts after 7:30 PM.
Alpine Architecture: Notice the distinct architecture, which often features stone, slate roofs (piode), and wood balconies. This style is particularly evident in the Aosta Valley, influenced by its unique location between Italy and France.
The Merenda Sinoira: In Piedmont, look for this local tradition, a kind of hearty, early evening aperitif that bridges the gap between lunch and late dinner, often including local cured meats and cheeses.
Hidden Gems:
Lago Maggiore and the Borromean Islands (Lombardy/Piedmont): While not high alpine, this lake and its picturesque islands (Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori) offer a stunning blend of sub-alpine climate and baroque palaces.
Gran Paradiso National Park: Italy’s oldest national park is an absolute must-see, offering spectacular hiking and high chances of spotting ibex, chamois, and eagles.
The City of Aosta: Explore the incredibly well-preserved Roman ruins (arch, theater, walls) in this mountain city, which often goes overlooked by travelers heading straight to the ski resorts.
Language: While Italian is the official language, the Aosta Valley is officially bilingual (Italian and French), and in Piedmont, you will sometimes hear the regional Piedmontese dialect. A few words in Italian will be warmly appreciated.
