Product Description

Review
'An interesting long circular walk for those who have done the Tour of Mont Blanc and want to find a route that is less crowded. There are bad-weather alternatives, and shortside walks. As always with Kev Reynolds, the introduction is comprehensive. This route (or part of it) could, I think, be used for an Alpine debut.' Irish Mountain Log Magazine, Summer 2006

Product Description
Making a horsehoe loop among some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in all the Swiss Alps, the brand new "Tour of the Jungfrau Region" is destined to become one of the classic walks of Europe. In a journey of 9-10 days the walker visits pastures, ridges, summits and passes, skirts exquisite mountain lakes, and gazes on waterfalls, gorges and glaciers - all in the shadow of such iconic peaks as Wetterhorn, Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. Accommodation is both plentiful and atmospheric, and the route has lots of bad-weather alternatives. Despite the nearby presence of popular resorts like Grindelwald, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen and Murren, "The Tour of the Jungfrau Region" explores some suprisingly remote landscapes, including part of a World Natural Heritage site.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to a highlight filled walk, 16 Oct 2007
By Mark G. Harris (Chelmsford UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In this Cicerone Alpine guide published in 2006 Kev Reynolds describes his new route the" Tour of the Jungfrau Region". That word "region" is important - since this is not a circular route around a mountain like the tour of the Matterhorn or Mont Blanc. It is a route in the Bernese Oberland in the vicinity of the Jungfrau. In essence, it involves no new paths, but links together some of the great day walks of the region into a single 107km "highlights" horseshoe route. And what highlights they are! A superb route which provides a virtually continuous panorama of splendid peaks... Jungfrau, Eiger, Monch, Wetterhorn ...the list goes on. The guide, though slim at 125 pages, is packed with information on side trips, alternative bad weather routes, atmospheric accommodation and transport options.

The usual high standards of production, common to many of the modern Cicerone guides, is present here with excellent colour photos, maps and detailed route information. The guide is well laid out and complete with waterproof cover is easily slipped in the pocket. Kev Reynolds easy prose style informs without lecturing whilst his enthusiasm for both walking in general and the route in particular is everywhere evident.

The route is billed on the back cover as a 9 -12 day walk, and on the front cover as a two week walk. Inside Mr Reynolds has itineraries allowing the walk to be completed in either 10 or 6 days. How long it takes will of course depend on each individual walker's favoured pace, but the route is very flexible with no shortage of either accommodation or transport. I walked the route in 7 days in August 2007 which seemed to me a steady unrushed pace, that said, I also spent two days sitting out bad weather in Grindelwald so I could enjoy those views to the full when I resumed the walk.

After my praise for the route and the guide a few words of warning are probably worth adding with regard to the path. It will be busy. Being a walk of highlights in the Bernese Oberland it is certainly not short of walkers or in certain places, like the Kleine Scheidegg, general tourists. There will be few hours on the walk when one is not greeting fellow walkers. That said for me this walk deserves to become a classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Follow the Jungfrau Region Trek, 24 Jun 2007
By JG (Cotswolds, Glos, UK) - See all my reviews
This guide to an excellent circuit of the Jungfrau Region provides key details for good high altitude hotels and
mountain huts all with bed, breakfast, evening meal and packed lunches. The views of the snowy Alpine peaks are superb. The walks are sometimes challenging, include very useful poor weather options, and many connections by train, and bus or cable car. Walking over the ridge of the Schilthorn is challenging for ordinary British walkers, there can be local hailstorms. The hotel in Saxeten very welcoming after a long descent to a high little known Swiss valley. The historic walk to the Faulhorn (book) can feel isolated until reaching a hut in poor weather but many others and a warm welcome in the clouds. The old wooden ladders to reach the Upper Grindlewald Glacier are a scary side trip. Alpenhof Stetchelberg one of many places to stay longer if you can. A Swiss Transfer Ticket can return you to a main Swiss airport.
