Book SynopsisThis guidebook describes the Snowdonia Way in Wales, a long-distance route through Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park from Machynlleth to Conwy. A low-level route of 97 miles (in 6 stages of between 13 and 21 miles) passes through the heart of Eryri's stunning mountain scenery and includes Pass of Aberglaslyn, Ogwen Valley and Aber Falls. It is suitable for walkers of average fitness and stamina, though the day stages are long. An alternative mountain route covers 122 miles in 9 stages of 12-18 miles, giving a spectacular journey over the most famous peaks such as Cadair Idris, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the Glyders. The high-level route is more physically challenging and requires good navigation skills. Full route descriptions for each stage are accompanied by OS maps and profiles. The guide also includes lists of accommodation and transport providers and a table of facilities to help with itinerary planning. Background notes on Eryri's geology, wildlife and history and extra information about features encountered along the way will help you discover more about this ancient and beautiful land.Table of ContentsCONTENTS Map key Transport map Overview map Route summary table Introduction The Snowdonia Way Landscape Plants and wildlife Geology History Understanding Welsh When to go Getting there Accommodation Planning your itinerary Route difficulty What to take Maps and GPS Safety Using this guide The Snowdonia Way Stage 1 Machynlleth to Dolgellau Stage 1A Machynlleth to Abergynolwyn (mountain route) Stage 1B Abergynolwyn to Dolgellau (mountain route) Stage 2 Dolgellau to Trawsfynydd Stage 2A Dolgellau to Trawsfynydd (mountain route) Stage 3 Trawsfynydd to Beddgelert Stage 3A Trawsfynydd to Penrhyndeudraeth (mountain route) Stage 3B Penrhyndeudraeth to Beddgelert (mountain route) Stage 4 Beddgelert to Dolwyddelan Stage 4A Beddgelert to Pen-y-Pass (mountain route) Stage 4B Pen-y-Pass to Capel Curig (mountain route) Stage 5 Dolwyddelan to Bethesda Stage 5A Capel Curig to Bethesda (mountain route) Stage 6 Bethesda to Conwy Stage 6A Bethesda to Conwy (mountain route) Appendix A Accommodation Appendix B Facilities tables Appendix C Useful contacts Appendix D Further reading

Book SynopsisA guidebook to trekking the GR20 Corsica, widely considered to be the most difficult of Europe’s GR long-distance routes. The 190km (118 mile) trail from Calinzana to Conca traverses the island’s mountainous heart and calls for both fitness and experience. Crossing remote and rugged mountainous terrain, there is plenty of hands-on scrambling and, although it is possible to stay under a roof every night, it is recommended that trekkers carry backpacking kit. The GR20 is presented in 16 stages of 5 to 18km (3–11 miles), with low-level options provided for a number of the stages. It takes around a fortnight to complete. Also included are a handful of excursions to climb neighbouring peaks and link routes for those wishing to join or leave the trail.

Book SynopsisThis guide presents the Pyrenean Haute Route in 44 day stages, which are divided between five sections: since each section starts and finishes at a location accessible by public transport, they can be walked individually if you don't have a spare month-and-a-half for a complete thru-hike. Although the route offers excellent opportunities for wild camping, each stage finishes at a mountain hut or village, meaning that you can sleep under a roof every night if you prefer. Clear route description is accompanied by 1:100,000 mapping. There are bad weather variants and alternatives to avoid the most technical sections, and the guide also includes optional ascents of 10 classic summits, including Vignemale, Pic du Taillon and the highest peak in the Pyrenees, Pico de Aneto. You'll also find helpful advice on travel to and from the route, equipment and safety. There are three main trekking routes across the Pyrenees from coast to coast: of these, the Pyrenean Haute Route (or HRP for Haute Route Pyrénéenne) is the most challenging - and arguably, the most spectacular. Unlike the GR10 and GR11, it is not waymarked and borders on mountaineering at times, sticking as closely as possible to the main ridge. It stretches 750km from the Atlantic resort of Hendaye to Banyuls-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean, crossing the French-Spanish border many times on its traverse. The hike calls for experience, navigational competence and self-reliance, but offers rich rewards as you pass through some of the most stunning landscapes the region has to offer. From the rolling green foothills of the Basque Country to High Pyrenean landscapes of aquamarine lakes nestled among 3000m peaks, the scenery is as varied as it is beautiful. Highlights include the karst terrain of Pic d'Anie, the Ossoue glacier, Lac de Mar in the picturesque Val d'Aran and the dramatic Cirque de Gavarnie with its towering cascade.Table of ContentsPreface Map key Overview map Route summary tables Introduction The route Geology Plants and wildlife Mountain weather When to go Getting there Accommodation and services Food, drink and fuel What to take Maps Path conditions Insurance, mountain safety and rescue Using this guide Section 1: Hendaye to Lescun Day 1 Hendaye to Col de Lizuniaga Day 2 Col de Lizuniaga to Arizkun Day 3 Arizkun to Aldudes Day 4 Aldudes to Roncesvalles Day 5 Roncesvalles to Egurgui Day 6 Egurgui to Col Bagargui Day 7 Col Bagargui to Cabane d'Ardan#xe9; Day 8 Cabane d'Ardan#xe9; to Source de Marmitou Day 9 Source de Marmitou to Lescun Variant 1 From Refugi de Belagua to Lescun via La Pierre Saint-Martin Section 2: Lescun to Gavarnie Day 10 Lescun to Refuge d'Arlet Day 11 Refuge d'Arlet to Candanchu Day 12 Candanchu to Refuge de Pombie Day 13 Refuge de Pombie to Refuge de Larribet Day 14 Refuge de Larribet to Refuge Wallon Variant 2 Refuge d'Arr#xe9;moulit to Refuge Wallon Summit 1 Grande Fache (3005m) from Refuge Wallon Day 15 Refuge Wallon to Refuge de Bayssellance Summit 2 Vignemale (3298m) from Refuge de Bayssellance Day 16 Refuge de Bayssellance to Gavarnie Summit 3 Le Taillon (3144m) from Gavarnie Section 3: Gavarnie to Salardú Day 17 Gavarnie to H#xe9;as Summit 4 Pim#xe9;n#xe9; (2801m) from Refuge des Espuguettes Day 18 H#xe9;as to Parz#xe1;n Variant 3 Parz#xe1;n via the high route to Hourquette de H#xe9;as Day 19 Parz#xe1;n to Refugio de Viados Day 20 Refugio de Viados to Refuge de la Soula Day 21 Refuge de la Soula to Refuge du Portillon Day 22 Refuge du Portillon to Refugio de la Renclusa Summit 5 Pic Perdigu#xe8;re (3222m) from Portal de Remune Summit 6 Pico de Aneto (3404m) from Refugio de la Renclusa Day 23 Refugio de la Renclusa to Hospital de Vielha Day 24 Hospital de Vielha to Refugi de la Restanca Day 25 Refugi de la Restanca to Salardú Summit 7 Montardo d'Aran (2826m) from the Coll de Crestada Variant 4 Three days on the GR11 from Refugio de Viados to

Book SynopsisGuidebook describing Alta Via 2, a challenging hut-to-hut trek through the Italian Dolomites. Stretching 174km from Bressanone (Brixen) to Feltre, the route involves some aided and exposed sections (although several can be bypassed) calling for a sure foot and a good head for heights. It can be walked in under a fortnight - although it is also possible to walk shorter chunks should you only have limited time, and the guide highlights potential exit routes and transport options. Also included are summaries of Alte Vie 3-6, which are more demanding and include remote terrain and stretches of via ferrata for which climbing experience is essential. On Alte Vie 3-6 some nights will be spent in unmanned bivouac huts, meaning trekkers must carry their own kit, although it is possible to walk shorter hut-to-hut sections. The easiest of the Alta Via routes, Alta Via 1, is covered in a separate Cicerone guide. An overview diagram is provided for each trek, showing times between huts. Alta Via 2 is presented in 13 stages, each with clear route description illustrated with 1:75,000 mapping. There are overview statistics for each stage and contact details and notes about mountain huts encountered en route. The guide also includes a wealth of information about the region's geology, plants and wildlife to enhance your appreciation of the landscapes traversed. Useful contacts and an Italian-English glossary can be found in the appendices. A handy pocket-sized map booklet showing the full route of Alta Via 2 on 1:25,000 Kompass maps is included with the guide. Alta Via 2 visits the Plose massif, the jagged Puez-Odle, fortress-like Sella, the majestic Marmolada, spectacular Pale di San Martino and the rugged Alpi Feltrine group as it journeys from the baroque town of Bressanone to Renaissance-style Feltre. On all of the Alta Via routes you can expect breathtaking mountain vistas and a truly memorable trekking experience.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table - Alta Via 2 Preface to this edition Introduction The Dolomites Alta Via 2 Alte Vie 3-6 Geology Languages and place names Plants and flowers Wildlife How to get there When to go Shorter itineraries Accommodation Food and drink What to take Maps and waymarking Dos and don'ts Emergencies Using this guide Alta Via 2 Stage 1 Bressanone to Rifugio Plose Stage 2 Rifugio Plose to Rifugio Genova Stage 3 Rifugio Genova to Rifugio Puez Stage 4 Rifugio Puez to Rifugio Pisciadù Stage 5 Rifugio Pisciadù to Rifugio Castiglioni Stage 6 Rifugio Castiglioni to Passo San Pellegrino Stage 7 Passo San Pellegrino to Rifugio Mulaz Stage 8 Rifugio Mulaz to Rifugio Rosetta Stage 9 Rifugio Rosetta to Rifugio Treviso Stage 10 Rifugio Treviso to Passo Cereda Stage 11 Passo Cereda to Rifugio Boz Stage 12 Rifugio Boz to Rifugio Dal Piaz Stage 13 Rifugio Dal Piaz to Feltre Alte Vie 3-6 Alta Via 3 Alta Via 4 Alta Via 5 Alta Via 6 Appendix A Useful contacts Appendix B Italian-English glossary

Book SynopsisSweden's most famous long-distance trail, the Kungsleden (King's Trail) traverses the land of the Sámi people and the midnight sun, stretching 460km between Abisko and Hemavan. Around half the route lies within the Arctic Circle showcasing an ever-changing landscape of snowy mountains, deep glacial valleys, open fell, expansive lakes and verdant forest. The fully waymarked trail is comprised of five continuous and distinct sections: these can be walked individually or a thru-hike will take around a month. The guide also includes the popular Abisko to Nikkaluokta circuit, which can be completed in a week, and an ascent of Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest peak at 2098m. In addition to clear route description and mapping, you'll find a wealth of practical advice covering accommodation and facilities, equipment and resupply and detailed notes on how to get to and from the section start and finish-points. A Swedish and Fell Sámi glossary can be found in the appendix. Although there are plentiful opportunities for wild camping, three of the five trail sections are equipped with huts (many including a shop and a sauna) making them easily accessible to all. The remaining two sections have a more remote feel that will appeal to those intent on finding some solitude. To add further colour, there are seven mandatory lake crossings on the trail with the option of rowing or using the motorised service: full details are provided in the text. The Kungsleden passes through five national parks, including Sarek. Other highlights include the striking Tjäktjavagge glacial valley and the famous hay meadows of Aktse, perfectly framed by the azure Lájtávrre delta and the sheer chiselled face of Skierrffe. The Kungsleden invites you to step into a new world, and it may well prove to be the start of a long and rich association involving many repeated visits.Table of ContentsMap key Overview map Route summary table Introduction The subarctic environment Plants and animals Regional history When to go Planning your walk Transport Boat crossings Accommodation Hut life and facilities The truth about sauna Trail marking and access What to take Mapping and GPS Communications and electronics Resupply Safety and wellbeing Using this guide Section 1 - Abisko to Saltoluokta Stage 1 Abisko to Abiskojaure Stage 2 Abiskojaure to Alesjaure Stage 3 Alesjaure to Tjäktja Stage 4 Tjäktja to Sälka Stage 5 Sälka to Singi Stage 6 Singi to Kaitumjaure Stage 7 Kaitumjaure to Teusajaure Stage 8 Teusajaure to Saltoluokta via Vakkotavare Additional itineraries Additional itinerary 1 Singi to Nikkaluokta (alternative finish to Section 1) Additional itinerary 2 Kebnekaise summit Section 2 - Saltoluokta to Kvikkjokk Stage 9 Saltoluokta to Sitojaure Stage 10 Sitojaure to Aktse Stage 11 Aktse to Pårte Stage 12 Pårte to Kvikkjokk Section 3 - Kvikkjokk to Jäkkvik Stage 13 Kvikkjokk to Tsielekjåkkå Stage 14 Tsielekjåkkå to Gistoj#xe1;vr#xe1;tj Stage 15 Gistoj#xe1;vr#xe1;tj to G#xe1;sakl#xe1;hko Stage 16 G#xe1;sakl#xe1;hko to Vuonatjviken Stage 17 Vuonatjviken to Jäkkvik Section 4 - Jäkkvik to Ammarnäs Stage 18 Jäkkvik to Luvt#xe1;vrre Stage 19 Luvt#xe1;vrre to Bäverholmen Stage 20 Bäverholmen to Tjiegnatisj#xe1;vrrie Stage 21 Tjiegnatisj#xe1;vrrie to Rävfalls Stage 22 Rävfalls to Ammarnäs Section 5 - Ammarnäs to Hemavan Stage 23 Ammarnäs to Aigert Stage 24 Aigert to Serve Stage 25 Serve to Tärnasjö Stage 26 Tärnasjö to Syter Stage 27 Syter to Viterskals Stage 28 Viterskals to Hemavan Appendix A Summary of facilities Appendix B Useful contacts Appendix C Summary of boat crossings Appendix D Language
