Terry Marsh offers a variety of walks near to the popular Chamonix-Mont Blanc area that will appeal to both the seasoned hiker and the weekend dawdler. He keeps all the walks within a manageable compass by confining them to the departements of Savoie and Haute Savoie, taking in appealing side valleys, high mountain pastures, remote villages and many lesser-known peaks. He gives clear, reliable and practical directions, and the walks are illustrated by his own black and white photography.
The walks are of varied length for different degrees of stamina and none of them involves technical climbing ability. The walks are divided into 17 geographical sections and statistical height tables with map reference. All walks start from the French side because of better access and accommodation. Terry Marsh has also written "The Mountains of Wales", "The Pennine Mountains" and "The Lake Mountains 1 and 2".
