This handy guidebook contains detailed route descriptions for 48 day walks around the stunning Italian lakes of Maggiore, Como, Iseo and Garda. The walks range from easy, leisurely strolls for beginners to more strenuous routes up panoramic peaks. Each walk varies in length from 2 to 13 miles and offers varying terrain to suit all walkers.
This guidebook describes 48 day walks, on little-known but well waymarked paths, in the picturesque Lakes region of Northern Italy. The routes range from 2 to 13 miles in length. There is something for everyone, from easy leisurely strolls for first-time walkers to strenuous climbs for those with experience up panoramic peaks. The well-marked straightforward routes can easily be fitted into the space of a day, and every one of them can be accessed by the excellent local public transport network - ferry, train, bus, cable car, chair lift or funicular. All routes are illustrated with the author's own clear maps and inspirational colour photographs with full information provided about accommodation and public transport options around each of the four lakes of Maggiore, Como, Iseo and Garda for easy planning.

Gillian Price is a leading English-language authority on exploring Italy. She has trekked throughout Asia and the Himalayas but now lives in Venice, only two hours from the Dolomite mountains. She is an active member of both the Italian Alpine Club and the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
