Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Tour of Mont Blanc is western Europe's most popular long walk, encircling its highest mountain. Over 10-11 days, you walk 106 miles through France, Italy, and Switzerland, staying in alpine refuges. The walk is strenuous because of the amount of ascent and descent, but no technical skill is needed. The scenery is superb: majestic glaciers and snow-laden peaks overlook peaceful lakes and alpine meadows.

This guidebook contains all a walker needs:

* detailed description of the official Tour and variations * planning information for transport and accommodation * information on Mont Blanc and its ascent * background on geology, habitats, and wildlife * drop-down route map * lavishly illustrated with over 60 color photographs * rucksack-friendly format and waterproof.

About the Author
Based in Ireland, Gareth McCormack is a professional photographer and writer who has hiked and climbed extensively in North America, Australia, and Asia. He contributes regularly to outdoor magazines and books for Lonely Planet. This is his first Rucksack Reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for planning this incredible trek, April 13, 2007
This is the most up-to-date guide I could find to the Tour du Mont Blanc. I'm doing the trek in July this year (2007) and this book has been essential in planning the route, hut/refuge selections, and for general hiking/access tips.

Combine this book with Kev Reynolds book "Tour du Mont Blanc" and the Rando Editions "Pays du Mont-Blanc A1 1:50,000" hiking map and that's all your need to take this incredible journey.
