Kev Reynolds, this guide's contributing editor, first visited the Alps in the 1960s. He has returned there almost every year since, to walk, trek or climb. A true authority on all things Alpine, he has written over a dozen guides to the region. The contributors to this guide - Justi Carey, Alan Castle, Roy Clark, Paddy Dillon, Allan Hartley, Gillian Price and Hilary Sharp - all share just as much enthusiasm for, and experience of, Europe's premier mountain range.
