While hiking is all about freedom and choosing your own adventure, there are some classic long-distance trails that a hiking enthusiast does not want to miss out on.
Essentially enjoying a legendary status, treks like Tour du Mont Blanc, West Highland Way, or Laugavegur Trail decorate the top of almost every trekker’s bucket list.
These treks highlight the most breathtaking corners of the known world, known for their unmatched natural beauty and unique scenery.
Albeit the concept of thru-hiking and completing these trails is a common wish for most walkers, hiking their most scenic sections offers a comparable and far more convenient option. This way, one doesn’t have to miss out on either Via Alpina or Alta Via 1 but can experience the best of both.
Due to their popularity, the most famous treks, like Walker’s Haute Route, usually require a very early booking. On the other hand, the less-known gems like Stubai High Trail or Carros de Foc are somewhat less forgiving of late bookings.
If unsure, classic is the way to go. The options are numerous, and none of them will disappoint.
