RDGA Map

Arsey · Feb 4, 2015

I used to have a map of the Routes Des Grandes Alpes.

I seem to recall it had a light plastic coating so was semi weather-proof.

But I left the map at the previous wife's abode :blast

I've searched the net but cannot find one.Anybody help ?

Thanks.
I've used that site before but I'm trying to get hold of an actual paper map like I used to have

I used to have 2, I lent one to my brother, if he's still got it and I can get it back you can have it. Mind you it's a large paper map that unfolds to about 2ft by 3ft,

I've just dug out my copy, it's a bit bigger than I thought, about 4ft by 3ft, this is it nearly covering a single bed,

If of any use to you, when descending from Col D'Galibier towards Briancon, my wife and I stayed at Denis (Ducati riding French ski instructor) and Karin's (English) ski Chalet Les Marmottes.I believe open all year round and very hospitable with a great bar

Located approx 2 miles on the RDGA before Briancon, so en route and Denis will discuss good biking routes especially around the col D'Izoard:

Any chance you could post a pic of the front cover of the map please?

Have you thought about ringing

STANFORD'S the map people..and asking..

GrinningGSer · Mar 13, 2015

Stanfords will also print custom map sections at request

Jumpjim · Mar 13, 2015

Standfords don't have it or anything similar. Its been out of print for 5-6 years apparently.

Does anyone have one they may consider selling?

Linky below for a picture and map number, mine was from France ordered online. Ended up using my Michelin Moto map as more manageable. Mr wapping recommend I believe.
Could sell you mine but I likes maps too much.

That map is the exact one I have, good find, my brother has my other copy but is skiing at the moment.
Coincidentally he's in the French alps very close to the RDGA,

Gazza, don't suppose you found a spare copy did you? Off in June but just beginning to tidy everything up planning wise...
