Chile – Argentina Handbook of Ski Mountaineering in the Andes

The handbook will contain precise descriptions of potential ski tours,
photographs and travelogues in order to enable as many mountaineers as
possible to discover these magical skiing, climbing and hiking areas.
The descriptions include varied, personal anecdotes of my tours. My successes,
difficulties, and unexpected setbacks.

The text is accompanied by numerous photographs, that not only aim to support
the description, but also have artistic value and aim to expose the reader to
the incredible atmosphere inherent to such adventures. For example, the
description of the ’southern volcanoes› in Chile often surprises skiers,
hikers and climbers.

Because access to the routes is often not easy in these, as yet, little
developed areas, great care has been taken to provide detailed maps and
descriptions to route origins.

Each region is first presented as a whole. The itineraries are portrayed
through illustrated descriptive sheets. Complementary information for other
interesting itineraries – not undertaken by the author – is sometimes added.
