The Tour du Mont Blanc, which takes in France, Italy and Switzerland, is one of the world’s most beautiful hikes. It is 170km long with 10,000m of ascent! You’ll start and finish in Les Houches, France, just south of Chamonix. The circular tour takes in spectacular mountain views, you’ll walk through fields of wild flowers, past ibex and even over a swaying suspension bridge. Nights are spent in small, cosy refuges (mini-mountain chalets) or in hostels or B&B’s with great pub fare. The path is safe and well sign-posted so you won’t need a guide, just a certain degree of fitness with most days averaging around 15km. Spring and summer are the best times to walk the Tour.

Popularised by the film Wild,<\/em> this mega trail is 4,279 km long and extends from the US\/Mexican border in the South to the US\/Canadian border in the North. It is incredibly scenic and takes in 25 national forests and 7 national parks. It’s impossible to complete the entire trail without a significant investment of time (5 months). If you only have a week or two choose a bite-sized section such as the popular John Muir Trail section. The hiking season lasts from July through September. Fly into San Francisco or Los Angeles and make your way to the trail from there. For solitude choose the Klamath Mountains in Northern California.

\u201cDistance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret.”<\/em> – Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods<\/p>\n
