This book does not give detailed route directions but information is given about all the guides and maps available for every region under review. The aim of this volume is not to lead step by step, but to inspire, to entertain and to inform; to show the first-time visitor – and those who have already discovered one or two of its districts – what the Swiss Alps have to offer. The emphasis is on activity; the intention to help the reader gain a quality experience with every visit. In truth the outdoor enthusiast is spoilt for choice, but armed with this guide, it should be possible to make that choice a better informed one.

Val Morteratsch, the original route to Piz Bernina (Chapter 4:4)

Dozens of individual valleys are described, together with the mountains that wall them, with recommendations given for their finest walks, treks and climbs. As such recommendations are purely subjective readers may well take issue with some of the suggestions. That is just how it should be.

Working eastwards across the country, this guide is divided into seven chapters, each devoted to a specific range or group of connecting ranges.
