'Cicerone Press and Kev Reynolds have found a winning format that must surely entice walkers into Alpine territory.

The Tour of the Vanoise was our first Alpine route and the new guidebook is a welcome update to the 1996 edition. I loved the Vanoise. It explores the very best of this lovely region giving a real taste of Alpine scenery.

Good paths, alpine meadows, glaciers, small villages and a wonderful backdrop of peaks all blended with atmospheric huts and plenty of wine made for an unforgettable holiday.’
