Engadin Ski Touring Guide

<p>The "blue" ski guide series from Bergverlag Rother presents ski tours for beginners and connoisseurs: exhilarating powder snow descents and endless firn slopes, dreams in white under a deep blue sky - and all this with as little effort as possible on the ascent and all the longer the descent. The enjoyable tour suggestions are particularly tailored to ski tour newcomers and those tired of the slopes, beginners and those changing over; but of course they also have plenty of treats in store for "old hands" in search of new destinations.</p> <p>Rudolf and Siegrun Weiss will whisk you away to the Engadin, that vast and sun-drenched dreamland of ski touring, which offers everything from enjoyable powder snow tours to well-known high-alpine glacier routes on Piz Palü or Piz Bernina. However, there are also a number of beautiful destinations, well-known fashionable mountains and absolutely insider tips with wonderful descents that offer breathtaking close-up views of the aforementioned celebrities in the "Festival Hall of the Alps" as a kind of bonus: Ski tours for connoisseurs whose season extends from December to June.</p> <p>In this volume, 50 tour suggestions - mostly with a color illustration and always a detailed map at a scale of 1:100,000 - are presented. A colorful, three-level difficulty scale and an overview map make it easier to select and plan tours at first glance. Concise but precise descriptions of ascents as well as tour profiles with information on valley towns and starting points, altitude differences and walking times, requirements, avalanche risk and slope orientation, orientation, best time of year and variants complete the information. For the third edition, the introductory section as well as maps and descriptions have been updated so that the reader is up to date with the latest developments.</p
