5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource, very detailed and accurate, March 22, 2000

By	Jon Willis (Brighton, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Walking in Switzerland (Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit) (Paperback)

This was by far the most helpful resource that I took to Switzerland--extremely detailed, logically organized, and quite accurate. Walking in Switzerland was extremely helpful in its well-written trail and regional descriptions as well as precise information on surrounding logistics. A must for anybody who intends to hike (seriously or casually) in the region. At the risk of gushing overmuch, this is quite possibly the most useful travel guide I've ever bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book, October 29, 2004

By	Matt Ebiner (Covina, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent book with fine maps and accurate descriptions. It was an outstanding resource for planning out some long trail runs, and was nicely complemented by the efficient Swiss trail signs. Lonely Planet does a very good job with travel guides, but excels the most when doing the walking/trekking guides.
