| Descripción y Comentario
Book DescriptionEnjoy the wonderful summer walking trails found in the Alpine regions of Italy and France. Using this guide and its maps, you can explore beautiful foot paths through mountain meadows and hamlets. Choose routes starting from one of the seventeen base villages selected by the authors for their magnificent mountain locales, charm, availability of public transportation, and accommodations. Rated at one of three levels of ease (gentle, comfortable, and more challenging), each walk takes from two to four hours, excluding 'take in the view' breaks or picnics along the way. Whether you want to know the rules of the trail, what kinds of local hiking maps to purchase, what kind of clothing to wear, or how to get discounts on travel to Europe, this book helps you get the most out of your Alpine walking experience. (5 1/2 X 8 1/2, 238 pages, black-and-white pictures, maps)

 Very Useful
The descriptions of the walks and of the excursions (presumably car-based) appear very useful; we'll be trying some of them in a few weeks. The book would have been more attractive & useful with more photos, especially color photos, & more maps would also be helpful--but what's there will help a great deal in prioritizing what we do.

 best hiking anywhere
The Italian dolomites offer the best hiking anywhere. Lost of variety great food reasonable prices and lots of people who speak English. This book gives accurate information, wonderful hotel recommendations and suggests towns I would not have discovered elsewhere. A must for anyone who hikes. The hikes may be easy for some, but it there are lots of more diffucilt options when you get there. We followed the Liptons advice and had a fabulous trip!
