The routes have been grouped around base towns in order to make planning a walking holiday as easy as possible. A brief portrait of each town has been included to help walkers choose the most suitable place to stay. Apart from the mountain routes, which are described in detail, the authors have also included some shorter valley walks. These walks are generally no longer than 3hr in length and suitable for all ages.

At the start of each route is a box with information to help you plan your route, including the distance, total ascent and descent, grade of difficulty, recommended map, accommodation in huts and so forth. Contact details of the huts are given in Appendix C under the mountain group where the route is located.

Details of transport to the starting point of each route (by bus, cable car and so on) are given, with information on how to return to the start at the end of the day. Where a route starts in the base town and can be reached on foot or by local bus from, say, a nearby village where you may be staying, ‘local bus’ is noted. Parking details are also given.
