Crossing the Alps with a trailer tent

Adventurous crossing of the Alps with a trailer tent

The majestic mountain ranges of the French and Italian Alps provide a stunning backdrop for unforgettable camping adventures. With the right equipment, this journey becomes a comfortable experience, suitable for both outdoor enthusiasts and families. Gordigear offers the perfect gear for such expeditions, as our customers repeatedly confirm. The combination of robust trailer tents for campers and an off-road vehicle makes it possible to explore even remote regions of the Alps while always having a cozy retreat.

Customer experience in the Alps

A wonderful vacation in the French and Italian Alps with our trailer and the Savannah tent. A very reliable tent. Thank you very much! *Images and/or text provided by Eric Degrotte.*

With the Mitsubishi L200 through the mountains

The Mitsubishi L200 proves to be the ideal companion for crossing the Alps. Its off-road capabilities easily master even challenging mountain passes, while its towing power is sufficient to safely transport a trailer with a tent through the mountains. When planning such a trip, it's essential to consider your vehicle's dynamic and static roof load. The manufacturer's specifications for the Mitsubishi L200 provide important information on this. Keep in mind that the weight of any installed roof rack is already included in the total load. For additional comfort during your trip, we recommend adding an outdoor vehicle awning .

The Savannah trailer tent: Your mobile home in the Alps

The Savannah trailer tent from Gordigear offers numerous advantages for crossing the Alps. It reliably protects against the changeable weather often encountered in the mountains. The combination of robust materials and sophisticated construction ensures stability even in wind and rain. The spacious interior offers ample room for gear and living. A particular advantage is its quick setup and takedown time, leaving more time for the actual adventure. The elevated sleeping position also provides better protection from ground moisture and small animals.

Highlights of the French Alps

The French Alps delight with breathtaking landscapes and diverse recreational opportunities. The Vanoise National Park offers untouched nature with rare animal species and marked hiking trails of varying difficulty. The Chamonix-Mont-Blanc region beckons with Western Europe's highest mountain and spectacular panoramas. Also particularly worth seeing are:

  • The Route des Grandes Alpes – a legendary pass road through impressive mountain landscapes
  • Lake Annecy – one of the cleanest lakes in Europe with crystal-clear water
  • The Verdon Valley with its impressive gorge
  • Charming mountain villages such as Briançon and Saint-Véran

Discoveries in the Italian Alps

The Italian side of the Alps enchants with a unique blend of nature and culture. The Aosta Valley boasts impressive medieval castles set against an Alpine backdrop. Lake Garda offers a Mediterranean flair amidst impressive mountain landscapes. The Dolomites are among the most spectacular mountain ranges in the world and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Numerous hiking trails of varying difficulty attract nature lovers, especially during the summer months. The combination of Italian cuisine and majestic mountain scenery makes this part of the Alps a true delight for all the senses.

Camping tips for the Alpine region

When traveling through the Alps, careful preparation is recommended. Choose official campsites or designated pitches, as wild camping is prohibited in many regions. The elevation changes cause significant temperature fluctuations, so warmer clothing is essential, even in summer. An additional awning for extra space creates additional shelter for social evenings or in rainy weather. Observe local environmental regulations and respect nature. Inquire about water supply options in advance, as not all campsites in the mountains are fully equipped.

Optimal equipment for your Alpine trip

For maximum comfort while traveling through the French and Italian Alps, Gordigear offers complementary products for the Savannah trailer tent. An additional shower tent creates a private washing area, especially useful on simpler campsites with limited sanitary facilities. The mobile bathroom can be quickly set up and taken down and significantly increases travel comfort. A freestanding awning can be added to expand the living space, providing shade and protection from the rain. This versatile accessory transforms your campsite into a true outdoor living room.
