Over six years, about one month at a time, Peter
and Gudrun walked the length of the Alps from
Nice to Vienna. 1300 miles, 170 days. They found
that hiking in the Alps is wonderfully easy. They slept in beds, ate in restaurants, walked on a safe network of trails, at their own pace. Their back-
packs weighed only 15 to 25 pounds and were
easy to carry.
One chapter compares the Alpine opportunities with America's own, for example, the Appalachian Trail.
Gudrun observes: "You will want to keep going,
naturally, nobody is forcing you....it is just great."
Enjoy nature, but also people, history and culture.
It is the opportunity to enrich your own life, to feel healthier and younger! Make it your own love story and the Hike of Your Life. Perfect for non-hikers too.
