100 Hut Walks in the Alps - A Walker's Guidebook

Guidebook of 100 walks based around the excellent network of Alpine huts – from southern France, through Switzerland, Austria and Italy to Slovenia. The huts range from simple unmanned shelters to mountain inns with hot showers and restaurant. Day- and multi-day walks, and suggestions for hut-to-hut tours.

‘In a short introduction, Kev briefly outlines the role fulfilled by mountain huts and reminds us about mountain safety. This is followed by five sections covering routes in France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Slovenia. Cicerone excel in publishing rucksack friendly guidebooks. This one is no exception. Combine this format with colour coded pages, Kev Reynolds’ informative text, sketch maps and colour shots, and you have a very useful guidebook that should grace the shelf of anyone who is considering walking in the Alps.’

‘Kev Reynolds is one of our most respected, prolific and experienced writers about walking in the Alps. In this extremely well produced pocket book he uses his extensive knowledge to describe 100 walks from the valley to a hut and, in a few cases, he links two huts together. Each walk has an accompanying map and colour photo and enough information to enable a newcomer to the Alps to enjoy the routes without worry.’
 

(Richard Gilbert, High)

‘Kev Reynolds’ 100 Hut Walks in the Alps is, for older walkers like myself, both nostalgic and tempting and, for younger ones, a challenge well worth taking up.’
 

(Arthur Howcroft, The Rambler)

’The chain of huts strung across the Alps takes walkers into some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe – whether you choose to stay overnight or simply lunch on the terrace. The huts come in all shapes and sizes from simple unmanned bivouac shelters to bustling mountain inns with hot showers and restaurant service. Taking one hut as the focus for each walk, this new, updated edition of the guide describes 100 routes out of the many thousands possible within the range.
All the routes have been selected to show the amazing diversity of this wonderful mountain chain from the Maritime Alps to the Dolomites of South Tirol. There are walks to suit every taste; gentle, long and tough, and everything in between. Most are circular routes.
Each route is illustrated with colour photos and a sketch map of the route. A useful introduction gives background information on the alpine hut system and on what to expect when staying in a hut, as well as general information on walking in the Alps.
This guide provides a reassuring companion for alpine novices and is an ideal source of inspiration for walkers of all abilities. All you need are your boots and a cheap ticket!’

'It covers from the Maritime Alps to the Julian Alps, and there are enough walks in most areas to provide two or three days which can be done from one centre. It's an especially useful guide for walkers who haven't used huts before.
The presentation and contents are well up to the Reynolds' usual high standards.'
