The author has reached over 350 Alpine passes on foot, and shares memorable trekking experiences from 1954 to 2019. Mountain lovers can savour over 200 pictures, and a pithy linking commentary full of ideas, but this is a personal memoir not a guide book. Includes dramatic pictures of famous peaks, and lesser known places in France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Slovenia. The character of mountain refuges and village inns and their food keeps creeping in. View PDF version 2-up for continuity and two panoramas.
