A guidebook to walking in the Swiss Ticino Alps, near the lake resorts of Locarno and Lugano. The 75 routes are found in the di Blenio, Lavizzara, Verzasca, Bedretto, Leventina, Maggia and Bavona valleys. The guidebook describes all the valleys and villages, takes you to the finest viewpoints and suggests 75 of the best walks to be enjoyed in the Alps of Ticino, as well as providing practical advice for getting to and around the region, background information on the area's history, wildlife, flowers, geology and points of interest and advice on making the most out a walking trip to the Swiss Alps north of the Italian lakes. The Ticino Alps provide some of the finest uncrowded paths of all the alpine regions. Away from the main valleys secretive inner glens reveal 'lost' alp hamlets, crystal rivers and tarns, and long feathery cascades. Granite peaks form a dramatic backdrop to every outing. High passes lure the adventurous, belvedere trails surprise with their vast panoramas, and in the valleys there's an air of soft enchantment among the chestnut woods. Remote mountain huts offer accommodation for walkers in the high country, while valley-based lodging is provided in attractive Italian-style villages bright with flower-decked balconies.
A lifelong passion for the countryside in general, and mountains in particular, drives Kev's desire to share his sense of wonder and delight in the natural world through his writing, guiding, photography and lecturing. Kev has enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Cicerone since the 1970s, producing walking and trekking guides to the Pyrenees, Alps and Himalaya, as well as walking guides for Kent, Sussex and the Cotswolds and he has several more books in the pipeline. A frequent contributor to outdoor magazines, he also writes and illustrates brochures for national tourist authorities and travel companies. When not away in the mountains, Kev lives with his wife in a small cottage among what he calls 'the Kentish Alps' with unrestricted walking country on the doorstep.
