Hike & Fly Guide Upper Valais

Contents

The Hike & Fly Guide Upper Valais presents 60 tour suggestions between Sierre and the Furka Pass – ranging from short after-work hikes to demanding two-day high-alpine tours with a flight back to the valley. The routes include Hike & Fly, Climb & Fly, Ski & Fly and Fly to Ski options.

All tours are systematically described and evaluated according to key criteria such as time required, ascent, start and landing difficulty, slope exposure, advantages, hazards, and wildlife protection information. Each route is illustrated with numerous photos and clear Swisstopo map extracts, following the same proven layout as the previous Bernese Oberland guide.

The book also features additional chapters on tour planning, practical tips by Chrigel Maurer, Wallis-specific meteorology, airspace and wildlife protection rules, accident prevention, and a selection of inspiring adventure stories.
