Crossing an Alpine Pass on Ski: Autobiographical Writings

Embark on a heart-pounding alpine adventure with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as he swaps his deerstalker hat for skis in Crossing an Alpine Pass on Ski. In this vivid autobiographical account, Doyle recounts one of the earliest ski expeditions by an Englishman across the treacherous mountain passes of the Alps in the late 19th century. What begins as a daring physical challenge quickly unfolds into a thrilling tale of endurance, discovery, and sheer human will against nature's white-clad giants. With a mix of danger, exhilaration, and poetic awe for the snow-laden wilderness, Doyle not only captures the spirit of exploration but also introduces a generation to the seductive pull of the slopes. This narrative is a rare glimpse into the adventurer behind Sherlock Holmes—one willing to brave avalanches, blizzards, and bone-deep cold for the love of the unknown.
