‘This book is concerned, as it states in its introduction, ‘not
with climbing mountains, not with reaching summits, but with wandering
in their shadow, spending days of delight exploring valleys, ambling
over hillsides clattering with cowbells and crossing remote passes in
order to gain fresh valley systems.’ … Illustrated with a selection of
colour and black and white photos, it is packed with information and is
to be recommended to both those unfamiliar with this paradise for
alpine walkers and also to those who already have some knowledge of the
area.’
‘Walkers who might otherwise feel uneasy amongst the giant peaks of the Bernese Oberland are quite safe in the expert hands of Kev Reynolds, and will, I’m sure, enjoy many magical days on the carefully graded routes in this superb, though popular, region.’
(Dick Wilkins, Austrian Alpine Club Newsletter)
