'This is the second edition of this pocket guide, which covers a fine Alpine area lying alongside the German Austrian border. There are some 70 routes described, which can be combined into longer tours, together with another 15 valley walks.

Although the region is not the high Alps, the scenery is breath-taking, with spectacularly-sited huts. The authors are keen to avoid excessive climbing and, where available, they include cable-car ascents to achieve the height at which to trek, though there may be significant descents involved.'
