On my latest visit to the region I benefitted from the company of my wife (the best of all companions), and our good friends Alan and Morna Whitlock, as well as from the recommendations of Marc Jones and Diane Sifis at the ever-welcoming Alpenhof in Stechelberg, Troy Haines of Alpinehikers, and Silvia Linder in Mürren – each of whom has a way of expressing their enthusiasm for the Lauterbrunnen Valley in particular that is truly contagious. Hut wardens and the proprietors of countless berghausen across the region often unwittingly provided invaluable information, while the staff at Switzerland Tourism in London were extremely generous in providing assistance with travel.

Jonathan Williams and his team at Cicerone in Milnthorpe, once again gave me the benefit of their skills and talents (and their much-valued friendship) by creating the book you hold in your hands; their support and encouragement is a real bonus to our long-standing partnership. To them and all the above, my gratitude is more than I can adequately express.
