£12.95

One of the titles in the Kümmerly + Frey 1:60,000 hiking series, which provides a popular alternative to Swiss survey maps, with cartography which many walkers find easier to follow and information on public transport access. Coverage of the whole country is designed so that each title presents a popular hiking area. The maps have contours at 50 or 25-metre intervals according to the terrain, enhanced by graphic relief and shading. An overprint distinguishes between sign-posted hiking paths, mountain path where proper walking shoes are necessary, and alpine paths requiring special equipment.

Mountain huts are marked, plus various types of accommodation: campsites, youth hostels, “Friends of Nature” Houses, and secluded hotels and restaurants. Road network indicates local bus routes with stops. Railways, narrow gauge mountain railways, cable car lines, and chair lifts are shown, with various symbols highlighting places of interest, viewpoints, picnic sites, swimming pools, etc.

Each title covers an area of approximately 60 x 42 km (37 x 26 miles). The maps have a 1km grid for GPS users, with latitude and longitude shown as margin ticks. Map legend includes English. On the reverse, an index of towns and villages includes names of geographical features such as mountains, alpine passes, glaciers, lakes, rivers, as well as places of interest.

In this title: the area from the peaks of the Wildstrubel and Wildhorn, and the resorts of Crans-Montana, Sion and Sierre, across the valley of the Rhône to the Italian border, including Evolène and Arolla, with Zermatt and the Matterhorn on the eastern side of the map.
