About the Author
Kev Reynolds first led mountain holidays in the Alps as long ago as the 1960s, and has returned to walk, trek or climb practically every year since. He has produced brochures and other publicity material for various tourist authorities of Alpine countries, and for many years organised and led walking holidays there, as well as in other European mountain regions and the Himalaya. A member of the Alpine Club, Austrian Alpine Club and the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, Kev has written more than a dozen guides to different Alpine regions and individual treks.
He also wrote the authoritative Walking in the Alps, which covers the whole range, the comprehensive tome The Swiss Alps, and was the contributing editor of the award-winning Trekking in the Alps – all of which are published by Cicerone Press. A Walk in the Clouds, his collection of 75 autobiographical short stories recalling 50 years among the world’s most dramatic mountains, appeared under the Cicerone imprint in 2013. When not trekking in one of the great ranges, Kev lives among what he calls ‘the Kentish Alps’ and during the winter months travels throughout Britain to share his love of wild places through his lectures.

Warning
All mountain activities contain an element of danger, with a risk of personal injury or death, and should be undertaken only by those with a full understanding of the risks, and the training and experience to evaluate them. Whilst every care and effort has been taken in the preparation of this guide, users should be aware that conditions can be highly variable and change quickly. Rockfall, landslide, avalanche and flooding can affect the character of a route and materially alter the seriousness of a walk or tour. Therefore, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law, neither Cicerone nor the author accepts liability for damage of any nature (including damage to property, personal injury or death) arising directly or indirectly from the information in this guide.
