Book description
Over 100 routes in the Bernese Alps are described in this fully updated
third edition of Kev Reynolds' popular guide. It is an indispensable
companion to a region that boasts famous peaks such as the Eiger, Monch
and Jungfrau. But there are lesser-known mountains, too, that are just
as scenically dramatic, and in their shadow peaceful villages and
seemingly forgotten hamlets are lodged in spectacular locations. Add to
that the romantic valleys, lakes, flower-filled meadows and a network of
mountain huts and rustic inns for those who want to experience the Alps
of the Victorian pioneers, and you'll understand why the Bernese Alps
seduce the connoisseur back year after year. All this, and more, is
available to the mountain walker, and this indispensable guide will
enable you to explore the very best of the Bernese mountain wonderland.
