Guidebook to walking in the Aosta Valley, a stunning, autonomous region in the Italian Alps. Describes 32 scenic routes (ranging from 4 to 20km) within both the main valley and those to the north, including the Lys valley, Valpelline, Valtournenche and Grand St Bernard. Also provides info on the via ferrata and trail running options in the region.
Andy, born and bred in Northern England, developed his early mountain skills with his local scout group in the hills of the Lake District and Snowdonia. Since discovering the joys of the Alps with a Cicerone guidebook in 1999, Andy and his wife Sue have explored much of the Western Alps, walking, running, cycling, ski touring or snowshoeing. Since the late 1980s Andy has enjoyed leading others in the mountains, and he worked as a hillwalking leader before joining the teaching profession. With 25 years' service in Dartmoor Search and Rescue, Andy has vast experience of the moors and recently completed the in-depth training and assessments to become a qualified International Mountain Leader. When not in school, Andy is likely to be found in the Western Alps, on Dartmoor or in the mountains of Britain.
