Walking, hiking, trekking; Climbing & mountaineering

An inspirational guide to the delights of Alpine trekking. With 20 treks described, including classics such as the Tour of Mont Blanc and the Tour of the Vanoise as well as new multi-day routes like the Traverse of the Slovenian Alps, this guide celebrates the rich scenic diversity for which the Alps are renowned. The eight talented contributing writers and photographers have explored every corner of Europe's celebrated mountain range, written dozens of guides to it and, in some cases, led trekking holidays in the Alps to share their passionate enthusiasm with other walkers. Covering a wide range of difficulty, the treks are intended for the summer months. With striking colour photography and clear overview maps throughout, Trekking in the Alps is sure to fulfil its intention: to inspire those who wish to join in celebration of a magnificent natural wonder.

Kev Reynolds, this guide's contributing editor, first visited the Alps in the 1960s. He has returned there almost every year since, to walk, trek or climb. A true authority on all things Alpine, he has written over a dozen guides to the region. The contributors to this guide - Justi Carey, Alan Castle, Roy Clarke, Paddy Dillon, Allan Hartley, Gillian Price and Hilary Sharp - all share just as much enthusiasm for, and experience of, Europe's premier mountain range.
