Hiking: tourism from “A” to “Z”

What a hiker needs to know:

  • Each hike has its own level of difficulty. In sports tourism, trekking is classified into 9 levels of difficulty. The assignment of a route to one or another category of difficulty depends on the presence of local obstacles, geographical features, intensity of the route, its length and duration;
  • Hiking in the mountains requires special physical preparation, since an unprepared body may inadequately respond to high-altitude conditions, which require adaptation even for experienced tourists;
  • Hiking requires special hiking clothing, shoes and equipment. All of the above is selected based on the climatic conditions of the active tour and the characteristics of the area;
  • any malaise should be a reason to refuse the trip, since on foot the malaise may worsen. When traveling, your illness can become an obstacle not only in your path, but also disrupt the plans of the group members;
  • If you go on a hiking trip, forget about all-inclusive tourism and its accompanying habits or put it aside for a while - we are talking about drinking alcoholic beverages. , involving difficult hiking trips, including mountain tours , completely exclude alcohol consumption, the rest are significantly limited;

St. Olaf's Trail

Sweden - Norway

Immersion in the northern nature and culture of Scandinavia awaits all travelers who decide to walk all or part of St. Olaf's Way. It starts in the Swedish city of Selanger and ends in the GothicNidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. The trail was abandoned for a long time, but after the joint efforts of the Swedish and Norwegian authorities, it was mapped and marked on the site, opening a fascinating page of its cultural heritage for pilgrims and tourists. The route runs through forests, farmland, waterfalls to the symbol of Norway - the fjords. Medieval churches, monasteries, traditional family farms complete the overall picture.

Story

St. Olaf is known throughout the Scandinavian countries. In the 11th century, he became the first king of Norway to unite its regions into a single state. A lot of effort was spent on Christianizing the country and fighting paganism. Olaf's innovations met resistance from the old nobility, and soon he had to flee from Norway to Novgorod. In 1030, the king tried to regain the Norwegian throne, but was killed in battle. He was buried in the Nidaros Cathedral, and a year after his death he was canonized. Thus, the path of St. Olaf repeats the last journey of the Norwegian king Olaf II through the Scandinavian lands.

Route length

The length of the route through two countries, from coast to coast, is 564 km. It is divided into several sections, for each of which detailed maps have been developed. In terms of time, completing the entire route takes 25-30 days. Many travelers complete the journey in parts, while others only complete the final section, which leads from Stiklestad through forests and agricultural fields to Trondheim (7 days).

Suitable season

Due to the peculiarities of the geographical location, the trekking season in Norway is short - from June to September. Most pilgrims complete the journey by the end of July to attend the Feast of St. Olaf. It lasts several days, and during this time Trondheim hosts many cultural events: medieval festivals, market days, exhibitions and concerts.

Helpful information

The St. Olaf Trail is marked with special markers and is easy to follow. Accommodations are located along the entire route - from budget campsites and farms to comfortable hotels. The most economical option is to take a tent. Of course, it will become an additional burden, but it will give complete freedom in choosing a place to relax. All points where you can have a snack and replenish supplies of food and water are marked on the maps, so a map and compass are a must-have for every tourist. You can use the route planner and find out details on the websites Pilegrimsleden and Pilegrim.

The entire 12 km journey can be completed in 4-5 hours, or you can split it into two days, stopping overnight in one of the coastal villages. The main road has many small branches that are also worth a walk.

Suitable season

From mid-March to mid-October, the Cinque Terre experiences stable, dry weather, conducive to hiking. But July and August are the hottest months. During the other half of the year, the trail may be closed to the public due to prolonged rains and small landslides.

GR 20

France

You can enjoy the beauty and natural wealth of the Mediterranean island of Corsica on the GR 20 route. Thanks to coniferous forests, alpine meadows and mountainous areas along the way, it is called the most exciting trek in Western Europe. Corsica has 128 mountain peaks, so mountain lovers will especially enjoy it here.

Story

The route was laid in the 70s of the 20th century, when Corsica faced an acute problem of population outflow into the interior of the island. The goal was to “revive” the mountain pastures and prevent the ancient transhumance routes between villages from disappearing. Soon a national park was created, and a little later the trail gained well-deserved fame among local residents and tourists.

Route length

GR 20, which is 180 km long, crosses the island from north to south and consists of two sections. The northern part starts in Calenzana and ends in Vizzavona. Due to its steep slopes and uneven paths, it is considered more challenging, but also more scenic. The southern section stretches from Vizzavona to Conca and is convenient for beginner trekkers. The entire route takes about 15 days of travel.

Suitable season

The best time to hike the GR 20 is from June to September. The road requires tourists to be in excellent physical shape and have the skills to walk over rough terrain. In the off-season, the weather worsens and becomes unpredictable, which is dangerous for beginners. During the winter season, the route can only be used by experienced skiers with a guide, as most of the road is covered with snow.


Helpful information

The road is marked with red and white rectangles on rocks, boulders and trees. However, it is easy to lose your way, so it is better to take maps of the area with you. Throughout the route, every 4-8 hours there are mountain huts (shelters) that offer basic accommodation and meals. The hut features one large room with wooden bunks and mattresses. Places are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is a special area for tents fenced nearby; pitching a tent in other areas of the park is not allowed. The cost of accommodation and food varies, on average it is 15 euros for a bed in a house and 6 euros per person when staying in a tent.

GR 20 is a real hike where you can’t get by with just strong boots, so it’s worth deciding in advance on the list of necessary things and arriving at the beginning of the path prepared. Information for hikers about the nuances of the route and its updates has been collected Online .

Lycian Way

Türkiye

Walking Mediterranean Turkey along the Lycian Way is an option for those who want to avoid crowded beaches and hyped tourist attractions. Instead, the route is filled with landscapes of the Taurus Mountains, azure bays, rocky canyons, orange groves and picturesque ruins of ancient cities.

Story

Lycia is an ancient civilization that, many millennia ago, was located on the southern coast of modern Turkey. For a long time, Lycia remained autonomous, later became a province of the Roman Empire, and after the 11th century it was conquered by the Seljuks. The Lycian tombs, carved into the rocks, are the best preserved from those times. They are easy to spot while moving along the trail. In addition, you can see with your own eyes:

  • the ancient cities of Phaselis and Olympos;
  • natural attractions - Butterfly Valley and Goynuk Canyon;
  • the famous lights of the Chimera, forever burning on Mount Yanartash;
  • the pilgrimage town of Mira and the Church of St. Nicholas (known in Orthodoxy as St. Nicholas the Wonderworker);
  • picturesque coastal villages of Kabak, Oludeniz, Cirali;
  • endless Patara beach and much more.

Route length

The Lycian Way runs 540 km from Fethiye to Antalya. It runs between the mountains and the coast along goat paths and footpaths. Sometimes there are steep and rocky slopes. The starting point is in the village of Oludeniz, a two-hour drive from Dalaman airport. The final destination is located near the international airport in Antalya. The entire route lasts 29 days, but travelers usually choose to travel only a few sections of the road. Some of them lie close to populated areas and are suitable for day trips.

Suitable season

The best time to complete the route is April-June and September-November. Summer in Lycia is too hot and tiring for long walks, and in winter there can be prolonged rain.

Helpful information

The Lycian Trail signpost is a red and white rectangle. On winding sections of the road, rocks and stones are generously marked; on a flat path, signs are less common. The wrong direction is marked on the ground with a red cross. Although a map is considered unnecessary for short walks, it will come in handy for longer distances. It contains the necessary information: places to stay overnight, populated areas, sources of drinking water. Every 10 km there are small villages, equipped campsites or private boarding houses where you can spend the night. But on some sections of the route, your own tent is the only option for rest, so you should carefully study the information before going on a hike.

Trekking - detailed information about walking tours around the world. Types of trekking, popular routes, photos and reviews from travelers about trekking on the “Subtleties of Tourism”.

Trekking was invented by ancient people when they were exploring new territories. Yes, this sport is thousands of years old. In those days, it was unkempt and unkempt, and everyone did it indiscriminately. Moreover, people didn’t even understand that they were preaching trekking - that’s how dense they were.

We're talking about hiking. You wake up, for the sake of decency, dress and put on your shoes and go on a journey. Everything is very simple. Trekking is accessible to everyone who has legs and is able to move them. A simpler type of tourism, perhaps, cannot be found.

What is trekking

Trekking is similar to football in terms of its degree of democracy. In both cases, no special equipment or equipment is required. True, if you go on a long trip, you will have to take care of comfort and safety. After all, professional football players don’t play barefoot.

Hiking takes everyone into its ranks, indiscriminately. The main thing is that you can walk and not complain about your health. There are difficult routes that run through mountains or deserts, which only a physically resilient person can handle.

Typically, during a tour, a traveler covers about 40-50 kilometers. Of course, a lot depends on the weather and the road. In the heat you get tired faster, in the bitter cold you think about how to warm up as quickly as possible, during a strong wind you don’t walk, but barely crawl.

Trekkers usually choose routes with already established trails. They collect as much information as possible about them in order to take the necessary equipment with them. One of the tasks of hiking is to get to know nature, terrain, customs and life of other peoples. These are such educational walks.

In general, tourists claim that walking, first of all, helps a person to know himself, and only then the world around him. Imagine: you are walking along the road, relying virtually only on yourself and the people who walk next to you. You don't have any transport. Rescue services can only contact you by radio, but when they arrive. So think about it: do you trust yourself or not, are you ready to walk hundreds of kilometers or would you rather stay at home in front of the TV.

Trekking Features

Hiking, for all its simplicity, has a number of nuances. For example, before you set off, you need to do pre-trip training. This is to ensure that group members get to know each other and what they are capable of. By the way, groups usually consist of 6-12 people. Instructors cope worse with large numbers.

It is worth paying a lot of attention to getting ready: take documents, a first aid kit, check in with the control and rescue service, grab the necessary clothes.

The travel route is calculated in advance. And the organizer takes on the greatest responsibility along the way. This should be an authoritative and experienced person, a good psychologist who knows the route, who can help in an extreme situation and will not allow people to get upset with each other.

The travel schedule depends on the endurance of the participants. The guideline is according to the weakest. Usually these are women or children. It’s clear that men can go further, but they shouldn’t drag everyone else down with them.

The guides do not welcome extreme sports. If someone suddenly wants to conquer a mountain or swim across a river, then it is better to do it another time, as part of another group with an instructor who is more loyal to such things. There is a route that everyone has agreed on and it is worth sticking to.

Trekking in Russia

Foreigners adore Russia for its nature and size. Walking tours are great for helping you feel the distance. In our country, you can choose tours in almost any region - from the Baltic to Primorye. Moreover, these will be journeys of varying lengths and levels of difficulty.

South Region

Mountains and sea - that's what awaits travelers in the south of Russia. Here the regions differ in climate - from subtropics to glaciers. Most often the path passes through the Caucasus Mountains.

The most popular tour is called “Thirty” - it starts from the resort of Khadzhokh and ends in the village of Dagomys. During the trip, participants can visit archaeological and natural monuments such as dolmens and shelters of ancient people. The route goes past waterfalls, lakes, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, more lakes, more rivers and mountains - you can see enough for two lifetimes.

Altai

The ancient people who lived on the territory of Altai left many interesting places as memories of themselves. They are exactly what trekkers meet on their way. Here you can choose summer or winter hikes of varying lengths.

The Altai Mountains are easier to conquer than the Caucasus Mountains - they are lower and without steep elevation changes. In summer, many stopping points are located in the forest. Natural monuments are mainly located around Mount Belukha, with which myths about Shambhala are associated.

Karelia

Karelia is a beautiful region with lakes, swamps and taiga forests. Here, while traveling, you need to get to know the aborigines as closely as possible, with their way of life and customs.

In Karelia, hiking is slightly extreme: in summer trekkers are haunted by mosquitoes and other blood-sucking creatures, and in winter they can only travel on skis. During a camping trip, you most often have to live in small houses with amenities in the yard.

Baikal

One of the main hiking trips on Lake Baikal - in addition to visiting the lake - is to the Shumak mineral springs. They are said to have great healing powers. Thousands of tourists come and come here to try this water. They carry backpacks and conquer rocky paths. But this is even better. Because, as they say, if you don’t get tired, you won’t rest.

Kamchatka

In Kamchatka, hikers are sent to the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes - this is one of the most interesting corners of the country in terms of the activity of the “breathing” mountains. The trails are laid along the spurs and slopes of Klyuchevsky volcano. Here you can see a powerful chain of the highest ones - Nameless, Stone and others.

Prepared tourists can climb the southernmost volcano of this group - Plosky Tolbachik, its height is more than 3 kilometers.

Siberia

A tour of Siberia is a visit to parks and reserves. For example, you will be sent to the Stolby Nature Reserve, famous for its wildlife, to the foothills of the Western Sayan Mountains, to the Ergaki Park. Afterwards you can explore the endless expanses of Tuva and its salt lakes. Khakassia will offer cedar taiga for a snack.

Trekking in Nepal

Hiking in other countries of the world

There are several classic hiking routes ahead of you. If you consider yourself a real traveler, then you must conquer at least one of them. The trails are not easy, but you can be proud of the experience gained for the rest of your life.

Corsica, France

The trek through Corsica stretches 170 kilometers and takes 15 days. Along the way there are forests, granite landscapes, craters, lakes, peat bogs, snow and so on. Sometimes the path is complicated by rocky paths, rickety bridges and embankments of boulders. This route was developed in the early 70s of the last century and is considered one of the most popular among trekkers.

Inca Road, Peru

They say that this trail, more than 30 kilometers long, was laid by the Incas. It starts from the Sacred Valley and ends at Machu Picchu. Along the way there are snow-white mountains and elevation changes. Tens of thousands of tourists visit this South American trail every year.

Dogon, Mali

The Dogon are a people of Mali, and their lands are considered one of the most interesting in Africa. The hike can last up to 10 days. The Dogon people build their dwellings in the cliffs, practice wood carving and greet guests by dancing on stilts.

Indian Himalayas, India

It is believed that trekking in Himachal Pradesh is suitable for people who are looking for solitude and want to hide from the world. This is possible here because few people agree to walk along the Indian side of the Himalayas.

A challenging route takes two weeks from Spiti to Ladakh. This is how tourists retrace ancient trade routes. The area around is harsh and deserted.

Overland, Australia

The 80km Overland Trail offers up-close views of Tasmania's wilderness. It leads between Cradle Mountain and the freshwater Lake St. Clair, through forests and heaths. Side trails will reveal waterfalls, valleys and even more mountain peaks, including Ossa, the highest point in the area.

Zion, USA

The 26-kilometer The Narrows trail runs through Zion National Park in the United States. The route includes a river, so you will have to swim about half the way. Well, or you can wade around, which will take more time.

The Narrows can be conquered in one day, but many are in no hurry to leave it so quickly - tourists love the hanging gardens, natural streams and campsites of the park.

Venezuela, climbing in the Andes to Humboldt Peak (4970 m)

Chamonix-Zermatt, France-Switzerland

Your route begins in the French Chamonix, then goes through the southern part of the Swiss canton of Valais and ends in the resort of Zermatt. This way you can cross some of the highest and most picturesque places in the Alps that are accessible to hikers.

This walk can be done in both winter and summer. In the warm season it takes about two weeks. In winter, the route is slightly adjusted so that you can conquer it on skis without any problems.
