There can be no more enduring and instantly recognizable symbols of the Alps than the Eiger and the Matterhorn. These two great mountains have inspired climbers throughout Europe and further afield while the villages of Grindelwald and Zermatt; nestling beneath their peaks have become world famous resorts. "A Long Walk in the Alps" recounts a journey that begins under the shadow of the Eiger's infamous north wall and finishes in the high meadows beneath the soaring ridges of the Matterhorn. The trail from Grindelwald leads firstly through the idyllic Jungfrau Region before heading off through high passes, forgotten valleys and sleepy alpine villages on the way to its destination in Zermatt.
