We continuously conduct hikes of varying difficulty (including scrambling and via ferrata) in various countries/regions to make GPS trail routes and descriptions available for all readers. Each hike includes a description of how you get to the starting point (whether by car or public transport), the course of the trail and what equipment you might need. Some hikes are very demanding and should only be done by the physically prepared while others can be done by families with kids.
