Great Hikes

Some trails stay with you long after you’ve walked them. This collection features the most remarkable hiking trails across four continents—routes our guides know by heart. From the dramatic peaks of the French Alps to the vineyard-laced coastal paths of Italy’s Cinque Terre, each trail is selected for scenery, cultural richness, and the kind of moments you remember decades later. All of these trails are featured on our guided Hiking & Walking tours, where we handle every detail so you can focus on the path ahead.

Great Hike: Lonquimay Volcano Climb

Climbing Lonquimay Volcano (9,400 ft / 2,865 m) is an immersive journey across one of Chile’s most dramatic volcanic landscapes. This is not a forested mountain trail or a gentle ridgeline walk — it’s a steady ascent over lava flows and loose black scoria, where every step reminds you that you’re walking on living geology.

Great Hike: Mount Brandon

Towering above Ireland’s dramatic Dingle Peninsula, Mount Brandon rises 3,123 ft (952 m) over the Atlantic Ocean. This is not just a hike around Mount Brandon, it’s a walk into Ireland’s wild edge. Grassy farmland gives way to steep stone paths, windswept ridgelines, and expansive ocean views that stretch toward the Blasket Islands.
