The most beautiful freeride tours in the Swiss Alps | By Jürg Buschor & Simon Starkl

Book tip: The most beautiful freeride tours in the Swiss Alps

by Tobias Kurzeder 12/12/2008
This book is a real hit in terms of trends! But that's not all: finally a tour guide with a stylish layout, with lush, appealing action shots in large format. And instead of the usual ridge scrambling and pigtail waving, the tours and descents presented here are all based on the it's-all-about-the-down motto.

This book is a hit in terms of trends! But that's not all: finally a tour guide with a stylish layout, with rich, appealing action shots in large format. And instead of the usual ridge scrambling and pigtail waving, the tours and descents presented here are all based on the it's-all-about-the-down motto.

The motto of the book is: short uphill, long downhill

Short uphill, long downhill is the motto of the book, which presents and describes 50 well-known and lesser-known free rides in the Swiss Alps. Travel information, prices and useful additional information make the book a great (Christmas) present for almost all freeriders and those who want to become one. Almost? There is little to criticize about the book, except that many of the tours presented are rather easy classics, and those who know the respective ski area will probably learn little new from the book. And the fact that some of Switzerland's secret spots are mentioned here, well, the locals won't be thrilled, because they are no longer secret. Because one thing is certain: this book will find its buyers.
Here you can order the book directly from the publishers.
