The only available German-language guide to Veltlin. Everyone knows Veltliner wine, but few are familiar with Veltlin, this fascinating border region that is almost as large as Valais and as southern as Ticino. Ursula Bauer and Jürg Frischknecht propose routes through the Veltliner vineyards, to the old spa towns in the Rhaetian Alps, and through the Bergamasque Alps in their guide. Their hikes lead right into the Alpine towns of Chiavenna, Morbegno, Sondrio, Tirano, and Bormio. The book also provides ideas and tips for long weekends in this region—excursion and hiking destinations for all seasons. It also caters to those who prefer to explore from their sofas: as in all the reading hiking books by the author duo, the 37 stage descriptions in Veltliner foot journeys are accompanied by background information about the area. With the revised and updated new edition of this volume, all five books by Bauer and Frischknecht are now available in a new, fresh layout.
