5.0 out of 5 stars Righting Wrongs!, 30 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bernese Alps: A Walking Guide (Cicerone Mountain Walking) (Turtleback)
I think I was too harsh in my previous review (below), so I'm giving it five stars now to average out to three and a half stars, which is what I should probably have given it. There is a lot of information in this book, and I did find some of it useful in the end. There certainly isn't enough detail in the maps as far as I'm concerned, but if you're a "serious" and experienced walker armed with detailed maps that probably won't bother you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard work, 5 April 2009
By Stephen Dawson (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bernese Alps: A Walking Guide (Cicerone Mountain Walking) (Turtleback)
The walk descriptions while brief are fine as they tend to stick to well established and signed routes. The addition of sufficiently detailed maps for all 115 walks would add significantly to the bulk of the book, and isn't necessary if you've got a decent sheet map, but be warned that in the absence of a sheet map, the book is barely adequate.

But what is really missing is that each of the ten regional chapters should have an overview map showing the walks for that chapter plotted and numbered (perhaps colour-coded by length) so that one can at a glance produce a shortlist of suitable walks.

As it is, the book is hard work unless you are already very familiar with the area - in which case you probably don't need the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful but not essential, 11 Aug 2008
By P. Matthews (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bernese Alps: A Walking Guide (Cicerone Mountain Walking) (Turtleback)
This is a useful guidebook to walking in one of the most spectacular areas in the Alps (or indeed anywhere). The book has a wide range of walks, from short easy strolls to very strenuous all-day hikes. The timings allocated are roughly right in terms of walking time but it is wise to add extra time for lunch stops, photo stops, and so on. As the previous reviewer says, the actual walk descriptions are very brief. But in most cases this does not matter, since the paths are clearly marked and signposted. There are no maps in the book (except for some very rough sketches of the valleys) so you really need to have a detailed hiking map as well. So this book is not essential, but worth having for planning routes beforehand and as a souvenir (since it has some good photographs of some of the places).
