About the Author

Gillian Price was born in England but moved to Australia when young. After taking a degree in anthropology and working in adult education, she set off to travel through Asia and trek the Himalayas. The culmination of her journey was Venice, where her enthusiasm for mountains made the next logical step the Dolomites, only hours away. Starting there, Gillian has steadily explored the mountain ranges of Italy, and now Corsica, and brought them to life for visitors in a series of outstanding guides for Cicerone.

When not out exploring and photographing with her Venetian cartographer husband, Gillian works as a writer and translator. An adamant promoter of the use of public transport to minimise impact in alpine areas, she is also an active member of the Italian Alpine Club and the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
