Capturing the allure of this grandiose legacy of the ice age is difficult, even in superlatives, but this photo book provides up-close natural experiences throughout the parks and preserves of six Alpine nations: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, and France.
From the snowy heights of Mont Blanc in France, to the Alpine fields abloom with wildflowers in Italy's Tre Cime, to the lakes and forests of Austria's Tyrol region, hundreds of color images show where the Alps still exist in a wild, unfettered state.
Accompanied by species identification, geological history, and websites for trip planning, the book is both inspirational. and informational. Also included are tips on the best spots for hiking, skiing, and all types of climbing.
This expansive trip through the Alps includes the following and more:
• Little to no traces of human settlement and culture throughout the 750+ images
• Beautiful, painterly photos that capture the region’s majestic landscapes at magic hour and with the best seasonal lighting throughout the year
• More than ten UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserves and Parks and several UNESCO World Heritage Sites
• Hundreds of plant and animal species captured, including underwater photography from pristine lakes and streams
• Photos range above and below the treeline and feature everything in between, such as picturesque waterfalls and plains
This is the definitive documentation and photographic escape into the wilds of the Alps.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
