Abstract
THIS is the first volume of a series of four intended to guide climbers to the peaks and passes of the High Alps of the Bernese Oberland. The routes are arranged in chronological order of the conquest of the peaks to which they lead, and are dealt with in six sections referring to the Balmhorn, Breithorn, Blümlisalp, Bietschhorn, Aletschhorn and Jungfrau groups. With this guide in his pocket, a climber will be able to explore districts which, happily, have not been entirely permeated by the show and tourist spirit characteristic of more frequented spots, and are full of interest.
