Book description
The second edition of this classic guidebook by Kev Reynolds on walking
and trekking in the Alps. This book is a definitive guide to the many
thousands of possible routes, with a geographical span that ranges from
the Maritime Alps of southern France to the Julians of Slovenia, from
Italy's Gran Paradiso to the little-known Türnitzer Alps of eastern
Austria, and from the ice-bound giants of the Bernese Oberland to the
green rolling Kitzbüheler Alps and the bizarre towers of the Dolomites
of South Tirol, showing the amazing diversity of this wonderful mountain
chain. There are walks to suit every taste: gentle and undemanding, long
and tough, and everything in between. Written by Britain's most
respected authority on the Alps, this is a fully updated edition of this
important book. Kev Reynolds is a freelance writer, photojournalist
and lecturer whose first title for Cicerone Press (Walks and Climbs in
the Pyrenees) appeared in 1978 and is still in print. He has published
many books on the Alps, a series of trekkers' guides to Nepal and,
nearer to home, several guides on walking in southern England. A member
of the Alpine Club, Austrian Alpine Club and the Outdoor Writers' Guild,
he is also first honorary member of the British Association of European
Mountain Leaders.
