Synopsis :

Authored by Kev Reynolds, one of the world's greatest authorities on mountain and Alpine walking and trekking, this informative and entertaining book serves as your guide to the world of mountain huts – purpose-built refuges situated high in the mountains offering access to remote wilderness for mountaineers and trekkers alike. It will appeal both to those new to the experience of staying in huts as well as old hands.

• Explore the evolution of mountain huts, from primitive origins to modern eco-friendly marvels
• Gain insights into hut life, facilities, and modern-day etiquette, while celebrating the camaraderie of shared experience in a beautiful mountain setting
• Captivating stories about those who use the huts and those who run them
• Profiles of the author's top 10 huts in the Alps and Pyrenees, complete with approach routes and suggestions for ascents and excursions
• Ten unforgettable hut-to-hut walking tours in the Alps and Pyrenees are outlined and accompanied by maps, like the Tour of Mont Blanc, Tour of the Bernina, and Alta Via 2
• Directory of Alpine huts and glossary for Alpine trekkers

À propos de l?auteur:

A lifelong passion for the countryside in general, and mountains in particular, drove Kev's desire to share his sense of wonder and delight in the natural world through his writing, guiding, photography and lecturing. Spending several months every year in various high-mountain regions researching guidebooks made him The Man with the World's Best Job.

Kev enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Cicerone from the 1970s, producing 50 books, including guides to five major trekking regions of Nepal and to numerous routes in the European Alps and Pyrenees, as well as walking guides for Kent, Sussex and the Cotswolds. 'A Walk in the Clouds' is a collection of autobiographical short stories recording 50 years of mountain travel and adventures. He was also the contributing editor of the collaborative guide 'Trekking in the Himalaya' and Cicerone's celebratory anniversary compilation 'Fifty Years of Adventure'.

A frequent contributor to outdoor magazines, Kev also wrote and illustrated brochures for national tourist authorities and travel companies. When not away in the mountains, Kev lived with his wife in a small cottage among what he called 'the Kentish Alps', with unrestricted walking country on the doorstep. But he also travelled throughout Britain during the winter months to share his love of the places he wrote about through a series of lectures.

Sadly, Kev passed away in 2021. He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him and by many more he inspired through his writing and talks.
