Mont Blanc: just hearing this name brings to mind impressive 4,000 m summits and imposing glaciers. The highest point in all of Europe is certainly the preferred domain of experienced climbers and glacier hikers, but the charming valleys and beautiful alpine meadows all around offer walkers a great variety of hiking routes.
The hikes described in the Rother guide "Mont Blanc" are aimed primarily at all those who love mountain walking, but many are also accessible to children, even though they climb to alpine altitudes between rock and ice. The "Tour du Mont Blanc" is THE hiking trail par excellence: the 17 stages of this spectacular and famous path around the highest mountain in the Alps offer breathtaking panoramas – even for less experienced hikers.
The author, Hartmut Eberlein, knows the Mont Blanc region perfectly and has compiled in this guide some of the most beautiful hikes. These 50 walks are presented with a brief, clear and informative description, map extracts with the route traced, altitude profiles and a detailed description of the trails. The color-coded difficulty scale makes it easier to choose destinations. Thanks to the tips and information it provides, this guide is an invaluable companion for hikes through the fascinating mountain world around Mont Blanc.
