Some say Tour du Mont Blanc is the most beautiful trek in Alps, others say going from one hiking location to another by car is a better way to spend 10 days.Personally I'd like something:>physically demanding (preferably over 2500 m asl)>not very dangerous (no dangerous glaciers or scrambles above UIAA I, I may try via ferratas)>with good viewsI'd also gladly visit something non demanding as a leisure for my 57 years old dad.Another important thing is the cost. I don't wanna empty my wallet on one vacation. Also I live north east from Alps so Austrian Alps are the closest to me, followed by German and Slovenian Alps. Dolomites are a bit farther and Swiss and French Alps are really far away.
>>2865864I suggest asking this question on the forum about a best way to explore Alps.
>>2866073Alps are the capital of outing though
>>2865864i'm planning a trip from zurich to ljubljana this summer. how viable is hitchhiking there? what can i do to reduce costs? what should i bring with me? i have a 50 liter pack. i plan on bringing a tent, sleeping bag and a tarp with me. maybe i'll buy a shitty bicycle in austria. what are some easy-medium difficulty peaks i should see?
I will be honest, I never did it. But I did hike a lot in France, and beforehand I looked for local advice, and most Frenchmen agreed that it's better to avoid the Mont Blanc, specially during summer since it's insanely crowded. But I asked specifically for non crowded trails.
