HIkE DESTINATIoN

A hiker-friendly destination has an offer that is focussed on one type of hiker. These destinations are mostly destinations suitable for family hiking trips.

A difficult hiking destination offers services for two groups of hikers. While part of the family will enjoy an easier tour, the most active family member can opt for a more challenging climb with a mountain guide.
