What reading level is The Fascination of Switzerland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On several occasions when I have had two guides both have been called Christian. You put the matter to him you and a friend are anxious to climb a peak to see what it is like. Can he suggest an easy one ? He suggests several. At one point he says, " why not traverse the Strahlegghorn ?" But the word "traverse" brings up a vision of hand-climbing along a tiny ridge, your feet hanging over infinity below, and that suggestion is at once quashed. Finally a peak is selected and you make care- ful in...quiries about its difficulties ; unless it is very easy indeed you are sure you cannot do it. Christian has learnt the art of flattery. " Made- moiselle/' he says bowing "in fact, both Mademoiselles will go up splendidly quite like chamois, he is perfectly sure of it he can see at once. " Flattery restores confidence, but I must own that the only time I ever felt like a chamois was on an arete near the Dossen hut, and then the resemblance began and ended with the number of points of support I insisted on going on all fours !
