'Cicerone Press and Kev Reynolds have found a winning format that must surely entice walkers into Alpine territory.
The Tour of the Jungfrau region does what it says. The walker is immediately uplifted into higher altitudes and commences a circuitous route with spectacular views of the Alpine giants. It’s a busy area but Kev’s latest edition suggests options to visit remoter terrain.
The public transport system works faultlessly. Double-deckers trains, numerous rack railways and an abundance of cable cars provide the walker with possibilities to rest tired legs! Avoid the busy and expensive Junfraujoch but do visit the revolving restaurant on the summit of the Shilthorn and enjoy the cinema showing part of the James Bond movie that was filmed on the mountain!’
