The Grand Tour of Monte Rosa vol. 1

First volume of the Pennine Alps circuit, around the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa. From Martigny to Sant'Antonio in Valle Sesia through Vallèe de Bagnes, Valpelline, Valtournenche, Valle d'Ayas and Valle del Lys. Numerous variants, cartographic tables and altimetric graphs, logistical information, in English. The Grand Tour of Monte Rosa encircles most of the Pennine Alps. Vol.1 Martigny to Valle Sesia (The Italian Valleys). Chris Wright's splendid text embraces all the many variations (especially in the Italian valleys) so as well as being the first English language guide to the entire tour, it can be used for smaller Pennine tours in Italy and Switzerland. Full account is taken of the places en route, accommodation and historical associations.
