Walking and Alpine Skiing Guidebooks for Switzerland
Switzerland contains some of Europe’s finest walking among the most dramatic and challenging of all the Alpine ranges. Most people will have heard of the Eiger, the Matterhorn and Zermatt, but away from the crowds lie valleys almost untouched by modern life, crystal-clear lakes reflecting magical peaks, a landscape uncompromisingly carved by great glaciers and welcoming mountain inns.
