Book – Echappées artistiques

Artist France Schmid is fascinated by our iconic alpine landscapes and has spent the past 30 years exploring their craggy beauty in a variety of mediums. Her published book, Le Val d’Illiez – Echappées Artistiques is part historical oeuvre, part rambling guide and 100% a stunning art book. This lovely, soft cover book showcases 39 itineraries, illustrated in watercolour and accompanied by a brief description of the hike, plus important place names, historical tidbits, and meaningful quotes by famous authors to set the tone.
