Книга - The Tour of the Bernina. 9 day tour in Switzerland and Italy and Tour of Italy's Valmalenco скачать fb2

This guidebook describes two treks in the Bernina region of the Swiss-Italian Alps.

The Tour of the Bernina covers 119km in nine stages circling the Piz Bernina massif. Five days are spent in Switzerland and four in Italy, however a number of inviting extensions and detours are also described which add at least two days to the total. The tour is suitable for trekkers with basic alpine walking experience. While the highest point reached is 3002m, there are no glacier crossings en route.

The Alta Via Valmalenco in Italy is a shorter, 8-stage trek over 94km, but is a more challenging route suitable for trekkers with more experience. Almost every stage of both treks can be accessed from a valley floor and public transport, opening the door to multiple variants and shorter treks.

Detailed stage by stage route descriptions are given in combination with plenty of background and practical information.
