IGN TOP 25 maps: The hiker’s precision tool
Prepare your hikes with our selection of IGN TOP 25 maps, the essential maps for hiking in France. At a scale of 1:25,000 (1 cm to 250 m), they offer the ideal level of detail for reading the terrain, following a trail, planning a loop, or navigating while hiking.
IGN TOP 25 maps show paths, roads, houses, woods, rivers, springs, contour lines, points of interest, and marked trails. They are particularly well-suited to the most popular hiking areas: coastlines, forests, mountain ranges, natural parks, and major tourist sites.
Before setting off, an IGN hiking map allows you to identify the terrain, estimate distances, identify alternative routes, and better plan your itinerary. In the field, it remains a reliable, practical, and complementary tool to GPS, especially in case of a low battery or no network coverage.
