Download or read book The Pyrenees written by Kev Reynolds and published by Cicerone Press Limited. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A resource book covering the finest walks, treks and climbs in the High Pyrenees for 400km between France and Spain, from the Cirque de Lescun, on the edge of the Basque country in the west, to the Carlit massif and the Cerdagne to the east of Andorra. The book is divided into five regional chapters: the Western Valleys; Cirques and Canyons; the Central Pyrenees; Enchanted Mountains; and Andorra and the Eastern High Pyrenees. Intended as a resource book for those planning a range of mountain activities in the Pyrenees, the guide describes each area valley by valley, and provides information on access and accommodation, as well as recommended maps and guidebooks.

An extensive introduction gives all the practical advice and information needed for planning a trip. It offers a background to the mountains and their exploration, and provides a snapshot of the range with sections that help the reader focus on specific areas of activity, and suggests where best to exercise that activity.

In A Tour Through The Pyrenees, Taine combined his love for travel with his scholarly pursuits.

Download or read book A Guide to the Pyrenees written by Charles Packe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Pyrenees: Especially Intended for the Use of Mountaineers The present edition is therefore considerably extended, and is, it is hoped, an improvement upon the previous one. The details given of the towns, promenades, and places of historical association, will perhaps be thought meagre; but it must be 'borne in mind that this is a guide-book especially intended for mountaineers and botanists. I have, therefore, preferred to curtail description, and to devote the pages so gained to tables which I think all travellers will find of use. These have been necessarily somewhat amplified, as I have thought it advisable to give one or two of them both in French and English measures. Indeed, one of the main difficulties experienced in writing a guide is the conflicting system of measures in use in England and m France. Those of the latter country being so much more simple, easy, and uniform; but it is very hard to get an English man to estimate heights and distances in metres.
