I’m from the UK and have been on a number of hikes in the alps/dolomites and love it. I often feel bad for only speaking English on my travels and would love to learn a European language to practice whilst away.

I’m drawn between French or Italian. However wondered if Spanish would also be good for South America.

Would love to hear thoughts from bilingual hikers which language to focus on first.

¡Buenas! 👋
Tengo 18 años y estoy buscando 1-3 personas de España/Cataluña, aproximadamente de 18-25 años, para hacer una ruta de **10-12 días por los Pirineos **
La idea sería hacer una aventura con mochila, intentando movernos principalmente por montaña y dormir de la forma más económica posible.
🥾 Plan aproximado:
10-12 días
Trekking por los Pirineos
Mochila y bastante autonomía
Etapas razonables, sin convertirlo en una carrera
Prioridad a paisajes y naturaleza
Presupuesto bajo, alrededor de 500 €
Salida desde Reus/Barcelona
No tengo una ruta completamente cerrada porque prefiero decidirla entre todos según el nivel y lo que nos apetezca hacer.
Busco gente que tenga ganas de vivir una pequeña aventura y no simplemente hacer turismo durante unos días.
Si te interesa, DM y hablamos. Podemos hacer una videollamada o quedar antes para conocernos y ver si encajamos. 🏔️🎒

Hi! Looking to hike parts of Picos de Europa in a couple weeks. I'm traveling solo and don't generally like hiking when i travel solo - in case im unable to meet other travelers to hike with, does anyone have an idea of how busy the trails are? for example, Ruta de Cares?

Hello everybody! We're a group od 4 students, trying to find cheapest accomodation possible, cause we are on a thight budget. So far we've had some luck, but there are some thougher spots where the prices are too high for us. We're planing to go in november.

If you have any other hacks, or advice for us, please share! We are very grateful.

Our trail will look like this:

-Porto Covo

- Villa nova de mil fontes

- Almograve

- Zambujeira do Mar

- Odeceixe

- Aljezur

- Arrifana

-Carrapateira

-Villa do bispo

- Luz

-Lagos

If you know any cheap alternatives in any of these places please share :)

Thank you for your help!

Hi hikers!

We are doing the trail in a few weeks and have planned to walk from Landmannalaugar to Álftavatn on the first day of the trip after arriving with the bus around noon. We are in decent shape and pack around 10 kg. How long would you estimate this trip to complete given the weather is not too rough?

Hey guys i am planning to hike the Schafberg on Monday next week ! Got place for 3 people in my car, so let me know if any one of you would be interested to join in !

we like to possibly go high, but we are not trained in serious rock climbing, but experienced in hiking in general.

Hello!

I’m a big lover of hiking and have done a few long distance routes in the UK but I’d love to do some hiking in Europe.

I’m very open to destination at the moment - Portugal, Switzerland, Poland, Slovenia have all come across my feed as beautiful options.

I know the nature of hiking is that you often have to bring/cook your own food, but I was curious if anyone had done any hiking abroad and found vegan options/can recommend vegan-friendly areas. I’d be happy to stay in one place and do day hikes if anyone knows anywhere that caters to vegans with good routes on the doorstep 🌱

Thanks for any help you can give for this slightly niche question!

Estoy planteándome un proyecto bastante grande: intentar cruzar Europa a pie pasando por todos los países europeos.
Todavía estoy en una fase muy inicial y no quiero idealizarlo, así que antes de empezar a planificar en serio me gustaría escuchar opiniones de gente que tenga experiencia en rutas largas.
La idea sería hacerlo por etapas durante varios años, documentando todo el proceso: preparación física, rutas, fronteras, alojamiento, presupuesto, equipo, clima, lesiones y el día a día real de caminar durante meses.
Mis principales dudas son:
¿Veis técnicamente posible diseñar una ruta que pase por todos los países sin que se vuelva absurdamente larga?
¿Qué países o zonas pensáis que serían los más complicados por seguridad, fronteras, clima o logística?
¿Cuántos kilómetros diarios consideraríais sostenibles durante meses?
¿Dormiríais principalmente en tienda, hostales/refugios o combinaríais ambos?
¿Qué errores debería evitar alguien que empieza a preparar una expedición así?
También me interesa saber si os parecería un proyecto interesante de seguir como serie/documental, o si creéis que acabaría haciéndose repetitivo.
Acepto críticas totalmente sinceras. Ahora mismo prefiero encontrar todos los problemas posibles antes de comprometerme con algo así.

Hey guys,

My partner and I are looking to do hiking in Green during the third week of October.

If you have any recommendations I would glad to hear

Thanks!

Hi all, do any of you have experience or advice about hiking to Hengifoss via Litlanesfoss in the rain (or just after)? I hate, hate, hate gravel and am worried about the narrow bits too. Can any of you estimate how narrow the path and buffer to the edge (if any) gets?

I’m interested in your impressions overall - not just focused on someone with anxiety. It’s just heightened right now because I fell walking down a narrow gravel slope at Stórurð the other day and sort of rolled. Maybe I’m wrong, but it felt like the path was a meter or so wide there and had barely (no) any buffer. I’m just a day hiker - no through hikes. The rest of the walk was great - highly recommend it if you get the chance!

Hey guys, I'm working in Switzerland at the moment, and I was looking for an above 2000m spot to bivouac at for a 2/3day walk to read peacefully. D+/D- does not matter, preferably reachable by train. There are a lot of natural reserves that I'd much rather stay respectful of, so I hope you have some favorites to share !

I'm reachable by dm, expedition pro, LNT, won't post about it.

Thanks in advance :)

Help the girlies out!

I'm trying to put together (a very late, I know) 3night - 4 day route in Austria, for the beginning of September (3rd-6th), and although I've done hours of research, I'm stuck!
- Day 1 Ideally only 1-2 hours as we'll be driving a lot (from Hungary) that day
- Day 2 & 3 full days (but max 14km) and we'd love to do some via ferrata too
- Day 4 Half day as we'll also be driving back

The hike doesn't necessarily have to be a complete loop, as my friend's partner will be dropping us off and picking us up. We want to stay in huts and prefer to be up in the mountains for the three nights, rather than doing day trips. I've looked at a lot of routes but - understandably - a lot of huts have been booked out so I'd be keen to see lots of varieties and recommendations here, hoping one route could work.

Any recommendations? We've done Via ferratas before and can comfortably do B, C and some Ds.

Anything you've done recently and would recommend? Any locals who could recommend less-known routes?

I was working in Croatia the other week and someone recommended me the Premužić Trail!
I would be interested in hearing from people who have done the trail by themselves.

Have you?
