Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adventures in the Alps The Author of these sketches confesses to a most absorbing love and admiration of the Alps. The lure of the Mountains has long held him a willing slave. Their charms are many and varied and alike to the adventurous spirit and to the seeker after solitude and silence the attraction of the Alps is one that only increases with knowledge. In his own way, the Author has visited many of the accessible spots in the High Alps and has fully entered into the atmosphere of grandeur, beauty, romance and adventure which makes this region without a rival. It is but natural to wish that others might share in the pleasures to be enjoyed there and to have a better understanding of many places, more often seen than fully appreciated. This little work therefore is not a guide-book or a history of climbing or a record of personal experiences, although it may be somewhat of all these, but it aims simply to picture some of those things which make Switzerland so beautiful and fascinating and to enable one to enter into "the treasures of the snow."
