Climbing guide Plaisir Süd Vol. 1 & 2 - available now

The two climbing guides Plaisir Süd 1 and 2 arrived hot off the press in our editorial office. The two new climbing guides are now available from specialist retailers.

The popular climbing guide for the southern side of the Alps has not only been completely revised but also expanded. There are now two separate editions. The first volume describes the most beautiful climbing areas in Ossola, the Plaisir-Mecca of Ticino, on to Lecco and Chiavenna up to the dream tours in Bergell.

Volume two starts in the Aosta Valley, continues to Turin and across the Col de Montgenévre into the wonderful Val Durance to La Bérarde. Each region has its own charm and fantastic climbing opportunities. The two volumes contain climbing goals for every season and level. By the way, many areas are perfect for families.
