Walks in the Valais Alps are among the most versatile experiences that the arc of the Alps has to offer: ancient paths from the vineyards of the Rhone Valley high up to the edge of the eternal ice; an unlimited variety of trails and mountain paths on sunny hillsides, at times following the Suones, historical water channels; delightful strolls in light-flooded larch forests, along gorges thundering with water, and on open ridges - always with fantastic views of the highest mountains of the Alps between Monte Rosa and Mont Blanc. Nowhere else in the Alps does the winter season linger as long: From mid-March to mid-November, you can experience the seasons in the most varied of heights between the Mediterranean-influenced Rhone Valley to the border of the glaciers.Michael Waeber and Hans Stein...

Valais, with its over four-thousand-metre high mountain giants, such as the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa, with wild glaciers and wings of ice reaching toward the heavens, is not only a paradise for Alpinists, but, at second glance, reveals itself to be the ideal hiking region: above the often narrow and gorge-like valley walls lie the slopes higher up, which are covered with a network of trails that is as comfortable as it is thoroughly signposted; picturesque Alpine cabins are sprinkled along lush meadows and whispering forests, sun-blackened hay barns and lofts lend this picture-book landscape, embedded in a magnificent setting, its cosy charm.Michael Waeber and Hans Steinbichler, both experienced Alpine journalists and excellent Valais experts, have divided their previous hiking guide, “Va...

Triskeles, “three legs“, and Trinakria, “the land of the three promontories, a wonderful island on three legs“ ... presumably many nations before the Arabs already knew this, since the island's symbol, a head wrapped in snakes and three legs, originates from antiquity - the Arabs, on the other hand, supplied the first comprehensive cartography of Sicily.Geologically speaking the largest island in the Mediterranean is chained to Italy: the Apennine continues from the tip of the boot underwater, ascends to the Peloritani and stretches all the way to the Nebrodi. A second chain comprises the volcanoes that link Sicily to the continent: from the Vesuv over the Lipari Islands to Mount Etna and further South West. The Madonie massive and the Sicanian mountainous country around Palermo as well as...

11.00 € / 72.16 FF
The hiking region “Around the Zugspitze“ is undoubtedly considered to be one of the most diversified regions of the Alps. It is characterized by quaint villages amid lush meadow valleys, large light-grey limestone mountains, some of which extend over kilometres of jagged ridges and by its numerous magnificent lakes.

The greenest of the Canary Islands awaits the hiker with a scenic diversity that almost no other region in the world with a comparably small area has to offer. Wide valleys, wild gorges and crater landscapes, pine- and laurel forests, banana plantations, cascades and waterfalls form a rich contrast to each other. On this island, hiking is considered a trump card and even the most beautiful of beaches veiled in black pale into insignificance compared to the temptations of nature waiting to surprise with new sceneries on every corner - an unparalleled stroll filled with immense enjoyment between glistening lava beaches, lush primeval laurel forests and ridges bordered by a surge of clouds, the blue Atlantic Ocean omnipresent.

Sardaigne (en anglais)

Sardinia, which, according to legend, was created when God stamped his foot, is the largest island of the Mediterranean, and is considered one of the most popular bathing islands of Europe. Newcomers to Sardinia are surprised that the island is mountainous. The idea that there are countless opportunities for hikers and mountain climbers seems exotic. And exactly that is the attraction: To travel Sardinia as a mountain holiday destination is a totally new experience. In contrast to the neighbouring island, Corsica, Sardinia cannot claim any exceptionally lofty heights (the highest peak, the Punta la Marmora, measures only 1833 m); however, it does offer other specialities. They include the deep, winding gorges, whose crossing is very challenging to the hiker: “torrentism,“ known at home as ...
