Making a horsehoe loop among some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in all the Swiss Alps, the brand new "Tour of the Jungfrau Region" is destined to become one of the classic walks of Europe. In a journey of 9-10 days the walker visits pastures, ridges, summits and passes, skirts exquisite mountain lakes, and gazes on waterfalls, gorges and glaciers - all in the shadow of such iconic peaks as Wetterhorn, Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. Accommodation is both plentiful and atmospheric, and the route has lots of bad-weather alternatives. Despite the nearby presence of popular resorts like Grindelwald, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen and Murren, "The Tour of the Jungfrau Region" explores some suprisingly remote landscapes, including part of a World Natural Heritage site.
Kev Reynolds' passion for the countryside, and mountains in particular drives him to share his experiences as a writer, photographer, guide and lecturer. 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.
