This work is likely aimed at both casual travelers and avid climbers, as it combines personal reflections with practical advice drawn from the author’s experiences in the alpine regions of Switzerland. It offers insight into the lives and skills of alpine guides, as well as the unique aspects of mountain life and culture. The opening of the book begins with a preface in which the author explains her motivation for compiling experiences and observations that are valuable for travelers in Switzerland, particularly concerning alpine guides. Mrs. Main describes the misconceptions about these guides and emphasizes their training, qualities, and essential role in mountain climbing. She shares anecdotes and insights into the characteristics that distinguish exceptional guides—from caution and determination to skill and resourcefulness—setting the tone for a deeper exploration of alpine life and the dynamics of climbing in the chapters that follow.
