- Recommended guide
- Trek & Mountain - Excellent book
- Scottish Mountaineer - This excellent guidebook reinforces magnificently what we all know – that the best mountain views are not the ones from the summits. It is in the borderland zone, amongst flower-filled alpine meadows, that the greatest pleasure is to be had, ...to enjoy some of the most spectacular glaciated mountain in the world.
- Stephen Venables, mountaineer, writer, broadcaster - Really helpful providing practical information and entertaining with all the stories from the area.
- Bernd Rickenberg, Denmark - ...a comprehensive guide to the area as well as providing a detailed route description - two for the price of one!
- Strider, Journal of the Long Distance Walkers Association, August 2009
The Alps offer almost unlimited adventure, and the Walker's Haute Route is probably the best way of getting deep into these spectacular mountains. Trekking from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland, you'll traverse one of the finest stretches of the Pennine Alps. A challenging 13-day walk over 11 ridges in 113 miles (180kms), it isn't technically demanding and the rewards are immense.
