We’ve put together Hiking Trails so you can discover the best hike in the world. There are a few questions we always get a lot. What is the best hike in the world? Or: what is your favorite? Then we say always, every trail is our favorite! Okay cheesy, that is true, but you know what, every hike has its charm. Whether you’re hiking for months on the Pacific Crest Trail or you’re hiking for only a few days through the forest in Sweden, every region is so different. Every experience will enrich you and therefore it’s never a good idea to compare. We can only say: enjoy every hike as much as you can! From our community, we know that these 10 hikes are the most popular trails in the world: Tour du Mont Blanc, Alta Via 1, West Highland Way, Fishermen’s Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Camino de Santiago, Te Araroa, Kungsleden, Everest Basecamp Trek, and the Inca Trail. We hope that you will find your next hike in our extensive database, created by hikers all over the world just like you.
Focusing on some of the top notch mountain ranges and other great regions for hiking, we highlight some of the world’s most beautiful hikes in these areas. Trek the old paths of the Himalayas, like the Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit, for beautiful views and a look into sherpa life. Or hike in Europe on the iconic trails like the Tour du Mont Blanc weave through France, Italy, and Switzerland, through small mountain villages and 4000 meter peaks. The Dolomites are known as one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the world with rocky paths and sharp limestone peaks all around you where you can book your stays in one of the many traditional mountain huts, while the lesser known trails of the Pyrenees provide a more quiet experience like hut-to-hut hikes along the French-Spanish border. Each area is unique in its own way and of course, there are so many more beautiful areas like the Andes, the Alps in New Zealand, and the Rocky Mountains in the United States. But also smaller regions such as the Black Forest, Balkans, and Caucasus are special.
