Geoland Southern Switzerland

This volume expands the GEOREISEN series to include the region of Southern Switzerland. It takes you to the "sunny corner" of Ticino, where charming lakes with a Mediterranean flair alternate with remote valleys featuring traditional stone houses, as well as to the equally impressive mountainous world of Valais - home to the highest peaks and largest glaciers in Switzerland. The series offers hiking and excursion tips for every taste, focusing on geological formation stories and attractions. The characteristics of these diverse landscapes are described in an engaging and easily understandable manner for the layperson. No special geological knowledge is required; basic terms and fundamental processes are explained separately. It includes suggestions for hikes and discovery tours, clearly and understandably explains geological processes, and features many colorful photos.
