About the Book

Part I of the book tells you why, how, when, and where you could hike. Europe's Alps are ideal. Good for your health. Plenty of trails and accom-modations, not too high, easy to reach, just right if you are thinking about an active retirement. Or to take some time out. It does take some practice.

Part II describes the authors' own hike from Nice to Vienna. The length of the Alps. Through parts of France, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. It is a love story. Don't miss it.


The Hike

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. Surprisingly, the hike is easier and shorter than the Appalachian Trail. We hiked along an established network of simple and safe trails, from one village to another or to mountain hostels. Slept in beds, ate in restaurants or bought food in stores. The backpack weighed only 15 to 25 pounds, easy to carry. At times, it was a little strenuous. One enjoys nature, but also people, history and culture. It is the opportunity to enrich your own life! Make it your own love story and the hike of your Life.
