Only two years after the publication of this guide to a brand new trekking route, this new edition reflects the tour's growing popularity and incorporates many updates. Describing a horseshoe amid some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in all the Swiss Alps, the "Tour of the Jungfrau Region" is growing in popularity and is destined to become one of the classic walks of Europe. During this 9-12 day trek in the Bernese Oberland the walker visits pastures, ridges, summits and passes, skirts exquisite mountain lakes and gazes on waterfalls, gorges and glaciers - all in the shadow of such iconic peaks as Wetterhorn, Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. Accommodation is both plentiful and atmospheric, and the route has lots of bad-weather alternatives.
