‘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.’

(Dick Wilkins, Austrian Alpine Club Newsletter)



‘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.’
