Hiking is a great way to discover a new corner of the world or to explore a familiar spot. Put your hiking boots on and feel like a modern-day explorer, even if you’re still close to home.

Exercise, exercise

If more adrenaline-pumping activities like rock climbing or mountaineering are not for you, hiking is also a great way to enjoy the outdoors while also getting some exercise.

More Info

Hiking involves walking on trails or paths, generally across long distances. Although it does require a good fitness level, people of moderate fitness can generally practice hiking safely. From short, easy hikes of a few hours to long immersive treks of 20+ days, there is something for everyone. Take into account that “hiking” and “trekking” are sometimes used indistinctly. The term “backpacking” is also quite popular in the US to refer to multi-day trips.

Guy Wilson for Ascent to Cerro Toco – San Pedro de Atacama

Great experience ….. thank you for the great trip. I’m coming back to Chile.

Kathrin Falk for Ascent to Cerro Toco – San Pedro de Atacama

The trip was great. Christian was an excellent guide.

John Desmond for Ascent to Cerro Toco – San Pedro de Atacama

The trip was a great experience with a wonderful view! However, unfortunately the tour description does not fit with the actual

tour. There was no breakfast with acclimatisation and the duration was shorter. Most important the tour was not guided by Christian, but by some of his employes which did not speak English so we didn’t get much explanations except some fragments that we understood in Spanish. Therefore we were a litlle disappointed concerning the guide of this tour.

Mel for Ascent to Cerro Toco – San Pedro de Atacama

We wish we could have Simon as our guide on every trek we do. His mountaineering experience and extensive knowledge

of the area was impressive and definitely enhanced the trek for us. On top of this, we got along great with Simon and appreciate his easy going personality and sense of humor. We will definitely request Simon as our guide for the next hike we do from El Chalten!

Tomasz for Ascent to Lascar Volcano, Chile

The trip to the summit will challenge you even if you consider yourself fit and healthy. The feeling at the

summit is insane – like winning a sports championship. You really have to push through mentally and physically to make it

Clinton for Mercantour National Park, France, Guided Hiking

I made a booking request for a one-on-one guided trip less than a week before the date and was lucky

enough to get a guide (Phil) without problem, who did a splendid job and made this a very enjoyable, instructive and safe first scramble for me. Communication was great before the event, too. I‘d recommend this company without hesitation and hope to hike with them again in the future.

Eva Kaeppel for Guided Traverse of the Aonach Eagach, Glencoe

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our hike to Mercantour National Park. Fabrice was entertaining and knowledgeable, and helpful. He

arranged for our pickup from our hotel at Nice, and even drove us to a village bakery to pack a Provençal sandwich for our picnic at the top of the mountains. Fabrice shared with us a lot of information about the place’s landscape, flora and fauna. And he also showed us how to spot the wildlife and take pictures of the animals. We learnt that he’s also an avid photographer and has extensive experience in nature photography. The highlight of our trip was reaching the crystal clear mountain lake, close to the top of the mountain range, where we also got to cross the border from France into Italy for our picnic. The only regret we have is not being able to spend more time in the park, as the hike took most of the day. We will definitely be interested in doing this again! Thanks for the arrangement! Regards Ernest and Leidia

Ken was a wonderful guide! He was thorough in assessing our experience and picked the right hike for us.

He was full of knowledge and easy to talk to as well. We’d definitely recommend him and hope to hike with him again ourselves.

Sergey Chelyadinskiy for Guided hiking tour in Mercantour Park

Our excursion with Fabrice was one of the highlights of our trip to France. He was extremely knowledgable about the

area and the local history. He even went out of his way to take us to see some local orchids that were in bloom when he learned that we love orchids! We will definitely take another trip with him the next time we find ourselves in the area.

Bret Hash for Mercantour National Park, France, Guided Hiking

A+++ fantastic guide, very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you Cristian for a memorable day!

for Ascent to Lascar Volcano, Chile

I booked a four days trip with Alex to climb Tolima. Alex is a very experienced mountain guide and also

very socialable. He knows to ask you the right questions to make your climb successfully and well organised. Unfortunately I got sick and had to break up at 3700 metres. Alex cared the rest of the time about me while I was recovering in the mountain hut and later in the hotel. Alex is also a great doctor not only a excellent mountain guide. Thx for taking care of me. See you soon, Felix
