From the Publisher
The Alps Adventure Guide is your all-season guide to Europe’s mountains – the best cities, national parks, and resort destinations in the alpine regions of Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland.
Included are sight-seeing and adventure tips for cosmopolitan gateway cities such as Salzburg, Innsbruck, Munich, Geneva, Lucerne, Milan, and Venice; for famed resorts such as Zermatt, Garmisch, Chamonix, St. Anton, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Interlaken, and St. Moritz; and for hideaway gems such as Lech, Courmayeur, Oberammergau, Murren, and Saas-Fee.
The Alps Adventure Guide shows you how to experience the Alps more intensely and directly than most travelers ever will – getting out of the bus, taxi, or rental car and seeing it all close-up, through walks, bike rides, horseback excursions, winter sports, culinary adventures, and interaction with the local people. For each destination, you’ll learn what to see, where to sleep, where to eat, where to party, and where to play.
Here is a guide to. . . Traditional mountain hamlets oozing with allure; Resorts where the revelry stars early and lasts long; Fun destinations for couples, groups, parents, and kids; Discreet retreats for a refined holiday; Resorts where socialites show up just to show off; Havens of hedonism for shopping, dining, and entertainment; Trails for walking, biking, and snow sports; The Alps’ most pristine wilderness areas; The most dramatic drives; And the most spectacular mountains, each easily accessed by cableway, trail, or train.
“This book has been tremendous in helping me plan my dream adventure vacation to Germany and Switzerland. I love the useful tips and the laugh-out-loud anecdotes. Just the right balance of adventure and practicality… and not too stuffy like most of the travel guides. I picked this book because I really want to adventure the Alps and not follow the trampled path of the tourist pack!” — Jan Sieving
“I used this travel guide on a recent trip to Europe and was very impressed! I have used other travel guides in the past, but I needed to buy 6 guides to get 6 countries. This one book included 6 countries. Often activities are for a certain age group or season, but this book hit ideas for every age group and every season.
I especially liked using the book for pre-planning of my trip. It offered many websites for areas of interest. Most travel guides refer solely to their own website. The short history sections allowed me to research topics before the trip.
I loved a recommended hike down a gorge in Garmish that was not mentioned in other guides.” — Mary L Smith
“This book was very helpful for finding the best places to visit and the style was very down-to-earth, which we appreciated. I wish we had more time on our visit to see all that was mentioned in the book.” — Annabelle Thomas
“I made a fortunate find in this guide. It is titled as an adventure guide, yet it is much more than that. We enjoy visiting local festivals and this guide has acquainted us with many festivals throughout the Alps. In addition to a wide variety of physical activities detailed, other types of adventures are highlighted such as unique cable car rides, train journeys, and how to dig deeper into the history of some locales. This was a lucky find for me, so I thought others might want to know about it, as well.” — Kathy S. Swift
