This popular guidebook by expert Kev Reynolds describes 100 walks
focusing on the mountain huts of the Alps. With walks in France,
Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Slovenia, there are routes to suit every
taste - from gentle and undemanding to long and tough, as well as all
varieties of difficulty in between. What they have in common is a visit
to a hut, each with its own character. Some walks are perfect for lunch
at a hut before a return to the valley base, others involve an overnight
stay at a hut. In a few cases, a short hut-to-hut tour is suggested. The
routes are grouped by country and by specific Alpine district. Most of
the routes avoid any climbing of a technical nature, beyond the odd
scramble aided by a fixed rope. Notes on hut etiquette, what to take and
an English-French-German-Italian glossary are also included to help
trekkers get the most out of their time in the Alps.
