Are Himalayas better than Alps for someone who is in good shape but doesn't climb very dangerous peaks?
>>2855552Yeah sure, just don't think you're going to climb any of them lmao.
Trekking in the himalayas is still dangerous, but probably. I find it even hard to compare the Himalaya and Alps. Alps are quaint with some reasonable glaciers and elevation, moderate weather, and a village, ski lodge, or some other form of human habitation every 5 km. Not without some challenges, but nothing like the Himalaya
Alps are superior. Himalayas is like hiking on Mars, it's all about stark brutality but nothing nice and nothing to do but get a pulmonary embolism. Not to mention you are isolated deep in any number of third world shitholes the entire time.

>>2855741This is such an obviously european opinion. God forbid they actually go into the wilderness I honestly don't even consider it out if i'm not driving 50km-100km outside of a small town and then walking 10 plus km away from any roads.
>>2855552Himalayas are better for rich people
The Alps aren't a big deal. Average altitude of ski logdes is about 5,000 feet. Thats the same as Denver Colorado.Las Vegas valley floor is at about 2,000 feet. The lodge at Lee Canyon ski resort is at about 8,200 feet and is a 45 minute drive from The Strip. The peak of the mountain is 12,000 feet.
>>2856151Europe here. Dolomites actually. You're not welcome. We're sick and tired of the helicopters. All day, every day. They're looking for you idiots. Why, I don't know. Most of you are already dead by the time the heli lifts off. Go to the Himalayas. They're prettier, more dangerous and more impressive. Leave us alone. We don't want you dying here.
>>2857961No actual north american outdoorsman would ever go to europe for anything nature related. We pick up and rescue way more of you european boobs here when you simply drive to far down a road cause the freedom here is too much for you to handle.
For me it's the Alps. Wake up in bliss small town, take the free public transit to the trailhead, or ask a local to car pool me there if needed. Do a brisk walk along the nicely maintained trail, then head back down into town to relax and drink wine and eat cheeses.You just can't get that kind of experience in Nepal
>>2857984You can't even walk along a river without getting shot for trespassing
