Seasons

Late June to end of September. All facilities open July to August, but trails busier and prices higher. September is recommended.

Centres

Fly in to Geneva, Zürich, Basle. Popular resorts at Interlaken, Grindelwald, Mürren, Lauterbrunnen, Wengen.

Difficulty

Challenging mountain walking, but no technical skills needed. Several short exposed sections (most with fixed cable).

Must See

Spectacular alpine scenery and views of world-famous peaks. Staying in a mountain hut. Alpine flowers and wildlife.

'An interesting long circular walk for those who have done the Tour of Mont Blanc and want to find a route that is less crowded.

There are bad-weather alternatives, and shortside walks. As always with Kev Reynolds, the introduction is comprehensive. This route (or part of it) could, I think, be used for an Alpine debut.'
