Product Description
Synopsis
Walking is unquestionably the best method of exploring, and it is the mountain walker for whom journeys in the Alps reveal some of the finest views, the greatest contrasts. This book then is a definitive guide to the many thousands of possible routes, with a geographical span that ranges from the Maritime Alps of southern France to the Julians of Slovenia, from Italy's Gran Paradiso to the little-known Turnitzer Alps of eastern Austria, from the ice-bound giants of the Bernese Oberland to the green rolling Kitzbuheler Alps and the bizarre towers of the Dolomites of South Tirol, showing the amazing diversity of this wonderful mountain chain. There are walks to suit every taste: gentle and undemanding, long and tough, and everything in between. Written by Britain's most respected authority on the Alps, this is a fully updated edition of this important book.

Every region of the Alps is covered in detail;walks and tours given in mouthwatering profusion. Chris Bonington agrees," The most comprehensive book about the Alps in the last fifty years,"he says. This is an essential volume for the Alpine traveller. What a present for Xmas! What a present at any time! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
