Hiking in the Valais canton is described in one hundred walks in two guides: 'Valais East' and 'Valais West'. Here, in the Valais West guide, you will find 50 walks in the French speaking part of the Canton. We have kept to the official language boundary between Swiss German/Swiss French along the Raspille (a stream between Salgesch and Siders). The 50 walks on the flanks of the Rhone valley and in its side valleys promise impressive views of the nautral and agricultural landscape of the Valais. All the walks run along either footpaths, marked mountain paths or obvious paths. No special gear or training is necessary, but you should have had some experience in walking along narrow and somtimes exposed paths. Many of the suggestions for walks are also suitable for families with children (these have been specially signed out). Due to the snow in high places, however, other walks might still be impassable in early summer. N.B.

It is true that the mighty rock massif of the Zugspitze dominates the Werdenfels region. However, this Guide Book intends to introduce us to a much wider area. It ranges from the foothills of the Alps to the north, west to that "Tiroler Fjord" of the Plan See, whilst the southern boundary is formed by the valleys of Ehrwald and Leutasch. However, a view of this massive mountain seldom disappears. Once again there are three factors which stamp our enlarged area around the Zugspitze as a genuine walking paradise. Firstly, one must mention the network of paths. Almost all the summit ascents in this part of the Alps are on well-marked and prepared paths. Even the rocky preserves of the Wetterstein, Karwendel and Mieminger mountains the paths and mountain tracks offer the walker a wide panorama of opportunity. The next "plus" is the height of the villages and the ample chair lifts or gondoloas with which to reach interesting start points. Last, but not least one must emphasise the beauty of the countryside with all its attractions both natural and man-made. N.B.
