2005. Color maps and photos. Over 100 routes in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland are described in this fully updated third edition of Kev Reynolds' popular guide. It is an indispensable companion to a region that boasts famous peaks such as the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau.

But there are lesser-known mountains, too, that are just as scenically dramatic, and in their shadow peaceful villages and seemingly forgotten hamlets are lodged in spectacular locations. Add to that the romantic valleys, lakes, flower-filled meadows and a network of mountain huts and rustic inns for those who want to experience the Alps of the Victorian pioneers, and you'll understand why the Bernese Alps seduce the connoisseur back year after year.

All this, and more, is available to the mountain walker, and this indispensable guide will enable you to explore the very best of the Bernese mountain wonderland.
