About the Author

Paul Henderson was born in Durham in 1963. His love for the mountains started at school with walks in the Lake District, but his main interest quickly turned to rock-climbing. He was first introduced to skiing on family holidays to the Lecht in the Cairngorms long before the lifts were installed. His skiing career really began with ski trips to the Alps in the late 1980s. On moving to France, in 1995, he was introduced to the delights of ski touring by French friends and soon became obsessed by this new sport. He has spent the last seven years exploring the mountains around his new home on foot as well as on skis. The idea for this guide was born when he realised friends that had spent their whole lives in the area were asking for advice about where to go.

He lives in Chambéry with his wife Alice, where he works as an English teacher and translator.
