Hiking trails book, website, or app?
Marmot is looking for a good book on Swiss hiking trails after finding a previous purchase unsatisfactory. They are also interested in websites or apps that provide reliable information on hiking routes. They've received several recommendations from fellow forum members.
If you're unsure, ask for personal documents or shared resources from experienced hikers.

Hi Marmot,
I like the Rother guides; there’s some further information in this topic. Also, there are lots of trail descriptions on our website (links are on the left side of this page and on the homepage). Have you checked those? Wanderland is a good site as well.
The Kev Reynolds books “The Bernese Alps” and “Tour of the Jungfrau Region” are excellent.

I have a 30+ page document on the Bernese Oberland that includes descriptions of more than a dozen hikes based on my 15 trips there. Happy to send it to you. If you would like a copy send me a private message with your email address and I can get it to you.
Thank you guys!
In fact, Kev has a new book out published by Cicerone :

Thank you for the book! It will be on Amazon in mid March. Marmot.
