Is there a map....

[AlanAce1967]

is there a paper fold out map that shows all the alps regions and all the passes on it on one sheet please ?

Yup

I have one, for sure.

I seem to recall that it's made by Tobacco, who do a lot of the Italian maps.

I will see if I can dig it out for you.

I tell a lie

The Tobacco map I was thinking of is my map of the Dolomites, only.

The map I was thinking of I now have in my hand. It's made by Euro Map / GeoCenter. It's of the Alps (and more) at 1:800,000 scale.

AVAILABLE HERE


I would always back it up with a local map too, simply as the Euromap covers such a vast area: Dijon to Zagreb / Stuttgart to Firenze.

Fantastic, Thankyou.

Or you could try the Freytag and Berndt Alpenlander, also at 1:800 000.

It has a heck of a lot of small roads on there for the scale, some of them don't show up on the TomTom and I've ridden a good few gravel passes that are marked on it.

Route Des Grand Alpes

There is a map of all this route showing the elevation of each pass between Lake Geneva and the Med

That looks like a very similar map to the Euro Map / GeoCenter, covering near enough the same area. Thanks for the news of it, I may just get a copy

UPDATE,

i ordered both suggested maps but could get one, the one that came was the Freytag & Berndt map of THE ALPS, its absolutely fantastic, thank you very much, it shows all the passes and gives heights and gradients, also scenic routes etc, well worth the money.
