Book tip | Austria Alpin – The great peaks in Austria

by Marius Schwager 07/17/2012
"This is Herbert", is how our mountain guide was introduced to me at a recent press event. Not that you necessarily need a mountain guide to hold your hand on an easy glacier hike, but "saying no" would also have been rude. Especially as I immediately liked the contentedly grinning Herbert. Classically tanned skin from the mountain sun and a reassuringly reserved manner, far removed from any alpine swagger. A pleasant conversation revealed that Herbert and I share a passion: Capturing the beauty of the mountains in photographs. What a coincidence that Herbert has just published an illustrated book with two friends. "Austria alpin – The great peaks in Austria". I took a quick look at the large-format work and my mind was immediately made up: this thing is "fat", you have to have it!

"This is Herbert", that's how our mountain guide was introduced to me at a recent press event. Not that you necessarily need a mountain guide to hold your hand during a light glacier doddle, but "saying no" would also have been rude. Especially as I immediately liked the contentedly grinning Herbert. Classically tanned skin from the mountain sun and a reassuringly reserved manner, far removed from any alpine braggadocio. A pleasant conversation revealed that Herbert and I share a passion: Capturing the beauty of the mountains in photographs.
