David describes this project as 'probably the world’s best ski expedition'. This is a day-by-day account of a multi-year ski tour following the entire arc of the European Alps from Menton on the French Mediterranean coast to Vienna. The route through France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria follows the crest of Europe’s highest mountain chain, passing through regions popular in summer but deserted in winter. This was a journey of 102 stages completed over 129 days covering 2,113km with 115,058m ascent.
