Explore the Beaufortain and Mont Blanc massifs with a detailed IGN map
The IGN TOP75 Beaufortain – Mont Blanc massif map is an invaluable tool for planning your outdoor activities in one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the Alps. Produced by the French National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN), this map offers a clear and detailed view of a vast territory stretching from Albertville to the Italian border and from Chamonix to the La Plagne region. It provides a reliable basis for organizing hikes, cycling tours, or mountain excursions.
Thanks to its main scale of 1:75,000, this map allows you to visualize the entire territory while maintaining a high level of detail. The terrain is represented by contour lines and shading, making it easy to appreciate the topography and anticipate elevation changes when planning a route. The marked points and altitude information facilitate the assessment of the difficulty of mountain trails.
The map also shows the entire road network and numerous hiking trails and paths. GR® and GR® de Pays routes, access to natural sites, mountain huts, and guesthouses are clearly marked. This wealth of information makes it a particularly useful tool for planning a multi-day hike, organizing an alpine outing, or simply discovering the remarkable landscapes of the Beaufortain and Mont Blanc regions.
To refine your exploration, the map includes five detailed 1:25,000 scale insets. These zoomed-in views allow you to discover some of the region's iconic sites with a higher level of detail, particularly around Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Mont de Vorès, the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme, and Grand Mont. These insets facilitate the planning of hikes in particularly popular or spectacular areas.
The map also highlights tourist and heritage sites, remarkable viewpoints, caves, historical buildings, and outdoor activity areas. It thus allows you to plan a trip combining hiking, heritage discovery, and exploration of alpine landscapes.
Compatible with GPS coordinates (UTM WGS84), this map provides reliable support in the field. Its multilingual legend makes it accessible to a wide range of hikers and international travelers. Whether you're planning a major alpine traverse, a multi-day hike, or simply a day trip, this IGN map remains an indispensable companion for exploring the Beaufortain and Mont Blanc massif with complete peace of mind.
