100 Hut walks in the Alps

This guidebook contains detailed route descriptions for 100 walks that span
from the Maritime Alps of southern France to the Julians of Slovenia, from
Italy’s Gran Paradiso to the little known Türnitzer Alps of eastern Austria,
from the ice-bound giants of the Bernese Oberland to the green rolling
Kitzbüheler Alps and the bizarre towers of the Dolomites of South Tirol.

All of the routes have been specially selected in an attempt to show the amazing
diversity of this wonderful mountain chain. The layout of this guidebook is
such that the walks are grouped, first under the indivdual country, then under
specific Alpine districts.

This popular guidebook by expert Kev Reynolds describes 100 day walks focusing on the mountain huts of the Alps. With walks in France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Slovenia, there are routes to suit every taste – from gentle and undemanding to long and tough, as well as all varieties of difficulty in between.

What they have in common is a visit to a hut, each with its own character. Some walks are perfect for lunch at a hut before a return to the valley base, others involve an overnight stay at a hut. In a few cases, a short hut-to-hut tour is suggested.

The routes are grouped by country and by specific Alpine district. Most of the routes avoid any climbing of a technical nature, beyond the odd scramble aided by a fixed rope. Notes on hut etiquette, what to take and an English-French-German-Italian glossary are also included to help trekkers get the most out of their time in the Alps.
