This guide describes the whole Alpine chain group by group, from the Maritime Alps behind Nice to the Julians of Slovenia, and focuses on the best walking and most scenic viewpoints in the range. Packed with practical information and enough suggestions to fill a walker's holidays for several lifetimes, Walking in the Alps is not only an authoritative reference book but an inspiration - a weaver of dreams.
Chris Bonington called the first edition 'the most comprehensive book about alpine walking in the last fifty years'.
Cameron McNeish described it as 'probably the most important guide to walking abroad that has been published in Britain' (TCO magazine).
This new edition has been fully revised and redesigned, with new maps and spectacular colour photos throughout. To paraphrase the authoritative Alpine journal: 'If you wanted to do everything listed in this marvellous book you would need to live to just over 400 years and remain fit to the end.'
That is the challenge for the reader!
