The mountains have seen many changes - dams have been built, roads improved, chair-lifts multiplied, huts improved, even then the beauty of the region remains, and its attraction is undiminished. This book takes all this into account. Each alpine area is comprehensively described with suggestions for walks.
Half a century has gone by since J. Hubert Walker published his classic "Walking in the Alps", now a collector's item. The mountains have seen many changes since then - dams have been built, roads improved, chair-lifts multiplied, huts improved - an almost endless catalogue, even though the beauty of the region remains and its attraction undiminished. This new book takes all this into account. Each alpine area is comprehensively described with suggestions for walks which will stimulate the imagination. Details of guidebooks and maps are given. "Like its namesake this book sets out to describe some of the loveliest Alpine regions from the point of view of the walker who is, after all, in the most favoured position to witness and enjoy mountain scenery in all its abundant variety. Only the mountain walker, the individual with good general fitness, a modicum of scrambling experience and an eye for the hills, can move far enough and at the right pace to enjoy the full range of wonders that the Alps so generously offer. This is the person for whom this book is written." - Kev Reynolds
