<p>Routes from hut to hut are the supreme discipline of walking, perhaps the most beautiful and impressive way to experience the high mountains. Far away from the noise of civilization and its hustle and bustle, you can enjoy the varied nature and culture of the Alps almost carefree - a fantastic opportunity to relax your mind and soul.</p> <p>Ralf Gantzhorn and Iris Kürscher are outstanding photographers and well-known mountain book authors and have been travelling in the mountains of the world, but especially in the Alps, for many years. In this magnificent illustrated book, they present thirty of the most beautiful trekking tours in the entire Alpine arc, from the Ligurian Alps in the southwest to the Gesäuse and the Triglav National Park in the east. The range extends from simple classics such as the Dolomites High Route No. 1 to insider tips such as the family-friendly Toggenburg High Route and difficult high mountain tours such as the crossing of the Bernese Oberland. Plan at least a week for most of the routes, sometimes even two - enough time to relax and enjoy the landscape at the slow rhythm of the mountains.</p> <p>This generously illustrated book about the most beautiful hut tours in the Alps, with its brilliant photographs and inspiring texts, is a wonderful read for bad weather days or long winter evenings and inspires you to embark on your own adventures. In addition, the reader is given concrete help to realize their hiking dreams, as each trekking tour is presented with all the important information on how to carry it out, as well as a route map and altitude profile. A book that makes you want to pack your rucksack and set off to explore the unique mountain world of the Alps. </p> <p>Iris Kürschner, Ralf Gantzhorn | Bergverlag Rother | 2nd edition 2014 | 224 pages | 247 color illustrations, 30 elevation profiles, 30 route maps, one overview map | format 30 x 26 cm | hardcover with dust jacket</p>
