Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows of a mountaineering guidebook that covers the Vaud alps (near Leysin)?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as all i can find is cragging guides?

Cheers

Hey Danny,

The reply about the french SAC guidebook is about right, plenty of cragging guides but few (none?) mountaineering ones in english.

I live in Leysin so if you have any specific questions about routes etc, let me know and I'l do my best!
