Are you that kind of hiker for whom the idea of hiking shoulder-to-shoulder with crowds just doesn’t cut it? Discover the magic of an off-the-beaten-path journey!
These are not the hikes where you’ll run into tour buses and souvenir stands; instead, they take you deep into the heart of nature, where silence is only broken by the rustle of leaves or the distant call of a bird.
From walks through secluded valleys to demanding hikes that test your endurance on rugged terrain, these adventures are for those who crave the freedom to wander without distraction.
The paths may be less traveled, but they lead to unspoiled landscapes, where every step feels like uncovering something hidden and wild.
In Portugal’s Peneda-Gerês, you’ll roam wild mountain paths, seeing wild Garrano horses roaming free. Over in France, on Stevenson’s Trail, you’ll follow in the footsteps of the pioneering author, whose journey inspired a whole genre of outdoor literature.
Do you prefer rugged? Greece’s Pindos Mountains are your playground, featuring deep gorges and untamed peaks. Meanwhile, Sweden’s Kungsleden offers endless wilderness, snow-capped summits, and serene, untouched beauty.
A little more to the south, Slovakia’s Mala Fatra serves up dramatic, remote valleys for those seeking solitude.
Are you ready to embrace the unknown and explore where few have ventured?
