100 Hut Walks in the Alps: Routes for Day Walks and Overnight Stays

This guidebook has route descriptions for 100 day walks to suit alpine walkers of all abilities, with suggestions for some hut-to-hut tours. These routes take you through breathtaking scenery in the Maritime Alps, Julian Alps, Gran Paradiso, the Turnitzer Alps, Bernese Oberland, the Kitzbuheler Alps and the Dolomites of South Tirol.
This book describes just 100 hikes out of the many thousands possible in the Alps, with carefully chosen mountain huts providing the focus for each hike. With a geographical span in Europe that ranges from the Maritime Alps of southern France to the Julians of Slovenia, from Italy?s Gran Paradiso to the little-known T?rnitzer Alps of eastern Austria, and from the ice-bound giants of the Bernese Oberland to the green rolling Kitzb?heler Alps and the bizarre towers of the Dolomites of South Tirol, each day-hike and its associated mountain hut has been especially selected to show the amazing diversity of this wonderful mountain chain. There are hikes to suit every taste: gentle and undemanding, long and tough, and everything in between. Most of the routes avoid climbing of a technical nature, beyond the odd scramble aided by a fixed rope.
