Incredible Hikes around the World

These are some of the most scenic treks that the world has to offer. They are strenuous, pushing you to your physical and mental limits, but rewarding you with a lifetime of memories and a huge sense of achievement. From the heights of the Alps to the ends of the earth, the following treks will awaken the explorer in all of us.

Routeburn Track, New Zealand

Stretching for 32km, the Routeburn Track is one of the most popular long distance hikes on New Zealand’s South Island. Best attempted between October and April, the trek travels through Fjordland and Mount Aspiring National Parks, taking in cascading waterfalls and turquoise rivers, winding their way through swathes of lush forest and beneath towering snow capped mountains. It’s majestic scenery at it’s finest. During the winter, facilities along route are greatly reduced and the trek is much more dangerous.
