Hiking Routes
Hikes are an assured way to discover a region's scenery, history, culture, and food. Most of the routes in this category cover well-trodden paths and trails in the countryside for which you need little more than just comfortable shoes, suitable clothing, basic provisions, and a camera for capturing the moment.
Long-Distance Hiking
Multi-stage hikes can take many forms, from Alpine crossings to guided trips or solo adventures. These regional trails let you tackle your challenge one step at a time.
Pilgrim Walks
Pilgrimages are arguably one of the oldest forms of organized hiking and for many, religious reasons to undertake these journeys still prevail. For others, they represent an opportunity to find peace and take some time out while getting to meet new people and discover other cultures along the way.
Nature Trails
Perfect for day trips and families, nature trails are generally defined as easy, well-organized routes that aim to inform and educate with information boards, interactive displays, and maps.
City Walking
Whether alone or as part of a guided sightseeing tour, cities offer plenty to capture the imagination. Explore streets, squares, and the sights while soaking up the local culture and heritage.
