Hours of Exercise in the Alps is a book written by John Tyndall and published in 1871. The book is a memoir of Tyndall’s experiences hiking and climbing in the Swiss Alps. It is divided into three parts, each detailing a different trip he took to the region. In the first part, Tyndall describes his ascent of the Weisshorn, one of the highest peaks in the Alps. He provides detailed descriptions of the landscape, the weather conditions, and the challenges he faced along the way. In the second part, Tyndall recounts a journey he took through the Bernese Oberland, a region known for its stunning mountain scenery. He writes about his encounters with local people, his observations of the flora and fauna, and his reflections on the beauty of the landscape. The third part of the book is a collection of essays on various topics related to the Alps, including the formation of glaciers, the effects of altitude on the human body, and the history of mountaineering. Throughout the book, Tyndall’s love of the mountains shines through. He writes eloquently about the majesty and grandeur of the Alps, and his descriptions of his adventures are vivid and engaging. Hours of Exercise in the Alps is a classic of mountaineering literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of alpinism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
