This guidebook presents the stunning Alpine Pass Route, now fully
waymarked as Via Alpina 1. The 360km trail traverses Switzerland
from east to west, from Sargans near the Liechtenstein border to
Montreux on Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). Crossing sixteen Alpine
passes, it showcases some of the country's most breathtaking
mountain landscapes, boasting views of iconic peaks such as the
Wetterhorn, Eiger, Jungfrau and Les Diablerets. The route is
suitable for those with some experience of Alpine trekking: it
amasses over 20,000m of ascent and involves some steep sections. It
can be completed in 2-3 weeks, although it is also possible to walk
shorter sections; alternatively postbus, cable-car and rail
connections could be used to allow for a tighter schedule. The
route is presented in 18 stages, each featuring step-by-step route
description accompanied by 1:100,000 mapping, route profiles and
notes on transport, accommodation and facilities. In addition, a
26km prologue in Liechtenstein and an alternative finish following
the old course of the Alpine Pass Route via Gsteig are also
described. Accommodation options range from mountain huts to hotels
and inns, with camping available at a number of licensed sites
along the route.
