Walking in the Valais
Author(s): Kev Reynolds
Publisher, year: Cicerone, 2003
Available in English at Amazon.com or Amazon.de.
This book was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect such good advice on hikes in Valais coming from a British author writing for a British editor. The proposed routes are numerous (120 to be precise) and always interesting. The size, the layout and the beautiful colour pictures make the book even more attractive. The only thing missing is maps. Some maps are given naming the valleys, the hamlets and the peaks. But they never show the itineraries.
The Bernese Alps
Author(s): Kev Reynolds
Publisher, year: Cicerone, 2001
Disponible en anglais chez Amazon.com or Amazon.de.
After the pleasant surprise I had with the book Walking in the Valais (#35), I got hold of the one dealing with the Berner Oberland region. Again, the proposed routes are numerous (115 to be precise) and always interesting. The size, the layout and the beautiful colour pictures make the book even more attractive. The only thing missing is maps. Some maps are given naming the valleys, the hamlets and the peaks. But they never show the itineraries.

Vaudoise Alps
Author(s): -
Publisher, year: Editions MPA, year unknown
The publisher calls this book "topo guide": relatively concise descriptions, but with elevation/time graphs as well as nice map extracts (in the form of panoramic maps). It is therefore quite easy to get an idea of the terrain crossed. The book can probably be found in french language in the bookstores of canton Vaud. As for my own copy, it is in english language and was bought at Stauffacher Bern.
