Books about mountains

394 books in our catalogue · showing 97–144

Books about mountains and the people who climb, walk and live among them: memoirs and expedition accounts, the history of climbing, route guides for scrambles and hill days, and writing about the mountain environment itself.

If you want routes rather than stories, go to Climbing and mountaineering or the guides for Scotland and the Alps. For walks that take days, see Long-distance walking.
