Rother

South Tyrol West Hiking book

<p>Alpine pastures and palm trees, glaciers and vineyards, secluded valleys and charming villages and, last but not least, traditional Tyrolean hospitality - South Tyrol is the hiking paradise of the Alps! The Rother hiking book "S&uuml;dtirol West" presents 52 attractive routes that open up the western part of the country between the Reschen Pass and Brenner, between the ice-armored Ortler and the Mediterranean-inspired Kalterer See.<br><br>A network of hiking trails and alpine paths opens up landscapes that could hardly be more contrasting: The glaciated three and a half thousand meter peaks on the &Ouml;tztal main ridge and the Mediterranean vineyards around Merano are only a few kilometers away as the crow flies. Gerhard Hirtlreiter, who has been hiking in South Tyrol's mountains since his early youth, has selected 52 very varied routes for this hiking book, for leisure hikers as well as for committed mountaineers. In addition to half-day and day hikes, routes lasting several days (such as the Sarner Hufeisen and the Meraner H&ouml;henweg) are also described - popular classics and quiet insider tips, tranquil hikes in vineyards as well as panoramic high-altitude trails and mountain routes on grandiose three-thousand-metre peaks.<br><br>Each route is presented with detailed directions, a hiking map showing the route, an informative altitude diagram, information on sights and attractions, all the essential tour data (including the bus route to the starting point) and a difficulty rating. The tour table in the cover flap shows criteria such as difficulty and suitability for children at a glance, making it easier to choose a tour.<br><br>The book has been carefully revised for the fourth edition of this Rother hiking book. GPS data is now also available to download for all routes.</p>
