Description A guidebook to 100 of author Kev Reynolds favourite routes in the Engadine.

Varying from gentle rambles to adventurous high-level routes for the experienced mountain walker.

Each graded route ranges from 2 to 10 miles long, visiting forests and meadows, high mountain landscapes, lakes and passes.

Theres something for every walkers taste: gentle valley rambles for a family outing; craggy mid-mountain walks for the more adventurous; high-level routes that lead across glacier, snowfield and rugged passes for the experienced mountain trekker.

Tucked away in the south-east corner of Switzerland, the Engadine is a region of lakes and mountains, home of the countrys only national park, guardian of the Romansch language and location for some of the most sublime villages in all the Alps.

These walks not only reveal breathtaking views, but take the walker into secretive inner glens and onto remote alp pastures bypassed by the 21st century.

The guide includes detailed route descriptions with recommended maps and sketch maps of the region, plus lots of practical information for planning your trip and a German-Romansch-English glossary.
