Hiking Alta Via 1 trail in 6 days – the guide

  • Italy

Of all Alta Via’s, #1 is considered the most accessible as it does not require crossing any via ferratas – technical routes that require extra gear and climbing experience. That also makes it probably the most popular long-distance trek in the Dolomites.

Four Mile Trail day hike, Yosemite National Park

In 2022 Glacier Point was only accessible via the Four Mile Trail as the road to it was closed due to repair works. As this viewpoint offers some of the best views of the valley, we could not pass an opportunity to visit it without having to share it with hundreds of other visitors.

The iconic Angels Landing day hike in Zion national park

If you browse “things to do in Zion national park”, Angels Landing is definitely one of the top attractions in the park. It got labeled as one of the most dangerous hikes in the world as quite a few hikers sadly fell off the cliff while hiking it.

The Narrows day hike (bottom-up) in Zion NP

I’ve been dreaming about this hike as it features in almost every “The best hikes in the World” book. Walking on a river surrounded by tall walls of a golden canyon – what is there not to like?? 😄
