Product Description

Review

'The Walker's Haute Route, as described in this book, never quite reaches three thousand metres on any of its passes, it requires no technical mountaineering skills, avoids the vast majority of the glaciers which skiers slide across, but offers some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe. ... Kev Reynolds knows these areas well. He's walked them for years and yet always manages to bring a freshness and vitality to his writing, a rare thing amongst modern guidebook writers.' (Cameron McNeish, TGO) 'This new book by Kev Reynolds describes the least hazardous of the high routes. Although this route is for those who are accustomed to mountain walking, actual mountaineering skills are not really necessary. The book is filled with masses of information and sketch maps, and illustrated by a good selection of photos.' (Austrian Alpine Club Newsletter)


Product Description

From Chamonix to Zermatt, and Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn - in two weeks of mountain travel you will see the greatest collection of 4000 metre peaks in the Alps and visit some of the most spectacular valleys. You will discover delightful villages and remote hamlets, wander flower meadows and forests, skirt exquisite tarns that turn mountains on their heads, and clamber beside glaciers. The way intrudes on lonely stone-filled corries, with marmots along the boulders and ibex on the heights, and provides a surprise around every corner. The route is more than 180 kilometres long. It crosses 11 passes, gains more than 12,000 metres in height and is a strong contender for the title of Most Beautiful Walk in Europe. This new edition has been thoroughly updated, and now includes the exciting two-day Europaweg - a true high-level path that carries the Haute Route way above the Mattertal and into Zermatt - a worthy conclusion to a great trek.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it!, 10 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I have just returned from completing the Walkers Haute Route using this book as a guide. An excellent route guide, it's also packed with invaluable information on transport options, lower cost accommodation, refreshment stops and and places to replenish food and water stocks. The text is easy to read and provides a day by day account of easy to follow stages (12 to 14 days), with small maps detailing your route each day. It takes you through some breathtaking scenery but at the end of each day various accommodation options are suggested. As well as the main route, the book also provides info on alternative routes for some stages, providing a choice if time is tight or weather is bad. A must for anyone considering tackling this wonderful route - don't leave home without it!!
