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.
