Mont Blanc Hiking Guide

<p>Mont Blanc - when you hear this name, you think of mighty 4000-metre peaks and glaciers flowing far down into the valleys, of wild rock and ice walls and vertical towers of red-gold granite. Although Europe's highest peak and its impressive satellites are reserved for climbers and ice climbers, the charming valley and alpine pasture area around it also offers mountain hikers an undreamt-of number of easy routes.</p> <p>For the 4th edition of this hiking guide, the author Hartmut Eberlein, an area expert par excellence, has thoroughly revised and comprehensively updated the selection of the most beautiful hikes.</p> <p>Almost all routes appeal to mountain hikers who enjoy hiking, and most are also excellent for children. The tours take you up into alpine regions, to the limits of rock and ice - and once even beyond the 3000-meter mark. The description of the "Tour du Mont Blanc" is particularly noteworthy: even less experienced mountain hikers can venture on the 17 stages of this famous and spectacular route around the highest mountain in the Alps. Breathtaking views can also be enjoyed from all the other routes presented here.</p> <p>Informative route descriptions, colorful hiking maps at a scale of 1:50,000 with marked routes, elevation profiles and, last but not least, the concise, thorough route descriptions facilitate both the planning and the execution of the 50 hikes. Numerous tips and information also make the hiking guide a valuable companion through the textiles of the fascinating mountain world around Mont Blanc. </p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hartmut Eberlein | Bergverlag Rother | 5th edition 2017 | 144 pages | 58 color illustrations, 49 hiking maps at a scale of 1:50,000, an overview map at a scale of 1:460,000 | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
