Résumé

"ITALIAN ALPS" by Douglas William Freshfield is a detailed exploration of the lesser-known regions of the Italian Alps, focusing on the valleys and peaks that have been largely overlooked in English literature. The book provides a vivid account of Freshfield's journeys through the valleys of Ticino, Lombardy, the Trentino, and Venetia, offering readers a glimpse into the transformative beauty and challenges of these areas. Freshfield's narrative is not just a travelogue but also a reflection on the cultural and natural landscapes he encounters. He describes the enchanting scenery of Val Maggia, with its sapphire and emerald waters, frescoed walls, and lush vineyards, contrasting it with the rugged beauty of the surrounding granite mountains. The author also delves into the lives of the local people, their traditions, and their connection to the land, providing a rich tapestry of the human and natural history of the region. Freshfield's work is a testament to his passion for mountaineering and his deep appreciation for the Italian Alps, offering readers both a guide to the region's geography and a narrative of personal discovery.
