The Blüemlisalp, Fründenhorn, and Doldenhorn shine brightly with their glaciers into the Swiss Midlands. But up close, their seven peaks are presented in a breathtakingly beautiful book that ties together eloquent climbers, famous writers, and singers. For thousands of mountain fans from Europe, Asia, and America, the Blüemlisalp epitomizes the Bernese Oberland. Now, the most beautiful mountain is finally receiving what it has long deserved: a magical mountain book! "Blüemlisalp on a summer night / After that, I went on a mountain tour / There I met them outside the hut." This is how Polo Hofer sang in the song "Alperose," which was voted the greatest Swiss hit of all time by TV audiences. Blüemlisalp, this giant structure of rock and ice between Kandersteg and Kiental in the Bernese Oberland, is the subject of Daniel Anker's new, major mountain monograph.
