The Alps are magnificent mountains that make a snow and glacier covered arc of granite through France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. Come with the author on a long-awaited return to ski the Alps that becomes five returns in as many years. Capture the beauty of skiing in Europe's famous places: Cortina d'Ampezzo, Zermatt, Courchevel, and Val Gardena lead the list. The author's solo travels take in winter explorations of Paris, Venice, Salzburg, Bolzano, and Aosta, urban journeys that add a famous cities cultural experience to the adventure. Ernest Hemingway, John Calvin, Napoleon Bonaparte, Edward Whymper, and Mark Twain, all former Alpine travelers, make appearances. Skiing in the high Alps, wandering the cities of Europe, it's all here in a deftly told story of a homecoming that invites the reader to share the experience.
