Acknowledgements

In four decades of enjoyment of the Austrian Alps I have benefited from the kindness, generosity and hospitality of countless people. In particular I have Marian Telsnig (onetime Press Officer at the ANTO) to thank for giving me many opportunities to explore her mountains and introduce them to others. The late Cecil Davies, author of the first Cicerone guide to Austria, was always generous with information and advice, whilst officials at the YHA, Inghams and Thomson Holidays enabled me at various times to earn money in Austria by doing what I love most. It was a pleasure and a privilege to lead literally scores of walkers on routes in these mountains, and I gained much from them all. To Alan Henson, Dave Horley, Grazyna Tlaczala and Lise Winther, my thanks for update information. As ever, I’m in awe of the Cicerone team in Milnthorpe who have managed to create this guidebook from my skeleton manuscript with their skills and talents – my thanks too for their continued friendship, which counts for much. And lastly, for all the days and trails, huts, camps and cols we’ve shared in mountains around the world, my love and gratitude for my wife makes this her book as much as it is mine.
