Trekking Monterosa

Trekking in the Alps

“Per Alpes, Discovering the Alps in 20 circular walks” is the publication of the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention. Here you can read the full descriptions step by step of each trekking tour, with useful practical information, as phone numbers and web sites of the Refuges on the way, and be inspired by the walks in the Alps. We present 20 circular trekking tours in the Alps.


This is a trekking guidebook with a selection of 20 circular itineraries, complete with introductions and descriptions, covering all the most beautiful mountains in the Alpine region, and crossing the borders of all the countries of this region. In the same spirit of the Alpine Convention we fully support the idea that trekking with its slow meditative character, brings you near the environment and in touch with yourself. Here are the walks you can read about.
