Walking in the Alps

Home to Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the notorious Eiger, the Alps stretch through France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and as far east as Slovenia. Thousands of fairy-tale, snow-capped peaks, huge glaciers, hidden valleys and high passes make this outstanding walking country.
