Book excerpt: The Bernese Alps of the Swiss Alps contain renowned and iconic scenery in Switzerland, including the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch, standing tall over Grindelwald and Interlaken. The range is also an epicenter of the largest glacier in Continental Europe, at 23 kilometers long, with a host of many other significant alpine glaciers. All of them are melting and doing so rapidly, succumbing to the realities of climate change. Recent Swiss university studies indicate that only one will remain as a sliver of its present majestic size by 2100. "Glaciers of the Bernese Alps" is a comprehensive work containing close and intimate aerial images of nearly all remaining glacial features in the range, taken from a small antique airplane manufactured in 1949. His second major glacial work, Garrett Fisher piloted the airplane, took the photographs, and wrote the text, a book dedicated to the beauty of these alpine features which are rapidly disappearing. Containing 178 images, viewers are shown glaciers from angles that would take a lifetime to savor on the ground, a lifetime that we do not have before they will be gone.

Dozens of individual valleys are described, together with the mountains that wall them, with recommendations given for their finest walks, treks and climbs. Working eastwards across the country, this guide is divided into seven chapters: Chablais Alps, Pennine Alp, Lepontine and Adula Alps, Bernina, Bregaglia and Albula Alps, Bernese Alps, Central Swiss Alps and the Silvretta and Ratikon Alps, each devoted to a specific range or group of connecting ranges. However, this is not a route guide and detailed descriptions are not provided. The aim of the book is to inspire as well as inform; to show first-time visitors just what the Swiss Alps have to offer and provide a new perspective for those who have been before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 100 walking routes in the Bernese Oberland are described in this guidebook, suitable for all abilities from short flat walks to adventurous treks. Routes range from 2 to 24km in a region that boasts famous peaks such as the Eiger, Monch and the Jungfrau. But there are lesser-known mountains, too, that are just as scenically dramatic. Add to that the romantic valleys, lakes, flower-filled meadows and a network of mountain huts and rustic inns and you'll understand why the Bernese Alps seduce the hiker back year after year. The guide is divided into nine chapters: Haslital, Lutschental, Lauterbrunnental, Kiental, Kandertal, Engstligental, Ober Simmental, Lauenental and Saanental, with a regional focus around Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Gsteig and Meiringen, Kandersteg, Griesalp and others. The layout of this guide follows an east-west convention, beginning with the Haslital and working west from valley to valley as far as Col du Pillon below Les Diablerets. Additionally, the guidebook includes useful practical information on getting to and around the region, where to stay and how to prepare for a trip into the Bernese Alps.
