Adventures in the Alps (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Adventures in the Alps

In his own way, the Author has visited many of the accessible spots in the High Alps and has fully entered into the atmosphere of grandeur, beauty, romance and adventure which makes this region without a rival. It is but natural to wish that others might share in the pleasures to be enjoyed there and to have a better understanding of many places, more often seen than fully appreciated.

This little work therefore is not a guide-book or a history of climbing or a record of personal experiences, although it may be somewhat of all these, but it aims simply to picture some of those things which make Switzerland so beautiful and fascinating and to enable one to enter into the treasures of the snow.
