About the Author

Born on Jersey – an island not known for its mountains – Richard Miller first discovered a love of high places among the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Since then a passion for travel and exploring wilderness has led to bouts of walking, scrambling, mountaineering and rock climbing across the globe. Latterly, having discovered the relatively civilised pleasures of continental Europe, his attention has been focused on the Alps and Pyrenees.

His first experience of a via ferrata was among the spectacular peaks of the Italian Dolomites. Having found this comparatively moderate activity to his liking, he set about visiting as many via ferratas as possible and soon discovered a burgeoning number of new routes across Western Europe. His desire to share this enjoyable pursuit with a wider audience has led him to produce this guidebook. It also gave him a good excuse for visiting (and revisiting) the large number of via ferratas that have been constructed in France in recent years.
