Who says hiking has to be all sweat, grit, and towering mountain peaks?
You don’t have to miss out on anything simply because you don’t feel like clambering over boulders like a mountain goat.
For those who know hiking is about enjoying the journey and not rushing to the finish line, hiking can be a perfect blend of adventure, scenic views, and cultural highlights.
The daily routes are typically planned with slightly shorter stages and lower elevation gains, making them easy on your body while still offering beautiful, scenic views, not to mention free days that allow you to chat with the locals, visit the sights, and fully embrace your destination.
And at the end of the day, comfort is a priority. Nothing is better than a day’s hike followed by a cozy inn or even a hotel, a comfortable bed, a warm meal, and a little local flair.
Whether you’re exploring the history of Normandy, heading on a vineyard stroll that might end in a well-deserved glass of wine, or uncovering Switzerland’s hidden gems, there’s a perfect route for every pace.
