    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book.......2004-10-30

    Excellent book with fine maps and accurate descriptions. It was an outstanding resource for planning out some long trail runs, and was nicely complemented by the efficient Swiss trail signs. Lonely Planet does a very good job with travel guides, but excels the most when doing the walking/trekking guides.

    5 out of 5 stars Very helpful, detailed, accurate.......2002-10-05

    Last summer I went to Switzerland with my girlfriend. She had this book with her. It was great! It helped us to see interesting places, find affordable hotels, good restaurant. I recommend this book to anyone who is planning on going to Switzerland.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource, very detailed and accurate.......2000-03-22

    This was by far the most helpful resource that I took to Switzerland--extremely detailed, logically organized, and quite accurate. Walking in Switzerland was extremely helpful in its well-written trail and regional descriptions as well as precise information on surrounding logistics. A must for anybody who intends to hike (seriously or casually) in the region. At the risk of gushing overmuch, this is quite possibly the most useful travel guide I've ever bought.

    5 out of 5 stars This was a great resource.......1998-11-11

    It took us to places that the locals thought were not available without local knowledge. I highly recommend this book. Please e-mail me with your comments
