by Janette Norton

Published 31 December 1995
Outside the Chamonix region few books have been written in English concerning the Haute Savoie and the innumerable walking possibilities, which range from the gentle pre-Alps south of Lake Geneva in the Chablais, to the majestic peaks in the Faucigny, Haut Giffre and Lake Annecy regions. "Walking in the Haute Savoie" is also a guidebook giving historical background and descriptions of the different areas the walks start from, plus additional information regarding the towns and villages which can be used as a centre. 61 walks are described. There are chapters concerning how to get there, maps, equipment, walk explanations, sign posting, flora and fauna.
