This is one of a series of books which provide detailed route descriptions of some of the most popular walking areas of Europe. Centred around the main towns in each region, the books advise on accommodation, transport, money, clothing, and food and wine. The Italian Lakes are among the most beautiful and impressive landscapes of Europe. Sandwiched between the Alps and the Lombardy Plain, they were scoured out by the last Ice Age, and the ridges which border them offer walks with spectacular views. The 30 walks described in this book are based around Lakes Orta, Maggiore, Como, Lugano and Garda, and the country between Lakes Como and Garda is also explored. The author's other books include "Milan" and "Arctic Odyssey".
