Alpe Adria Trail 🇦🇹🇸🇮🇮🇹 750 km | 37 stages | thru-hike | Austria, Slovenia & Italy all info 👇

The Alpe Adria Trail starts at the foot of the Grossglockner in Austria and slowly makes its way south, all the way to the Adriatic Sea in Italy. For 750 kilometres, you follow mountain paths, old trade routes, shepherd trails, forest tracks, and footpaths that have connected small villages, farms, and valleys for generations 🙏

What makes this trail special is that it gives you a proper long-distance mountain journey without becoming too technical. You still get big views, quiet valleys, mountain huts, forests, lakes, and long days on foot, but most of the trail stays on clear, manageable paths without serious exposure.

So if you want to spend a few weeks walking through the Alps, but you do not want a route that requires alpine experience, the is a really good one to look at 👏

Our ambassador is on the trail right now and will start sharing daily trail updates from next week 😍 make sure you follow her along the full trail!

Happy thru-hiking trails on the Alpe Adria Trail ✨

Join the community! New branding 🧡

After seven years of slowly building the long-distance and thru-hiking community, it was time to create a more unified look for Thru-hiking, Hiking Trails, the Trail Days event, and our new app, Share My Hike. The community is growing, and we want to keep up! 😊

We’ve chosen the cairn to represent the long-distance and thru-hiking community because this little stack of rocks always shows up right when you need it. It’s built by people who’ve hiked the trail before you, to show you where the trail leads. Our mission is to be like the cairn: community-built to show you the way 🙏

We have only one goal: bring the long-distance and thru-hiking communities together and have fun doing it! While we’re out there, we love promoting lesser-known trails around the world; keeping an eye out for the people and nature that make it so special. We hope to inspire you for your next hike with all the gear info you need so you can hit the trail with confidence. As a combination of multiple websites, social media accounts, events, books, and even a new app; we’re here to help you enjoy every step of the way and join the long-distance community 💚

🔸 community -> thru-hiking.com (New website end of 2026)
🔹 app -> available in app stores (Strava for long-distance hikers)
🔸 .eu event -> traildays.eu (European Trail Days)
🔹 database -> hiking-trails.com (Find your next trail!)

Thanks for following us on our journey. This isn’t possible without you: the European long-distance and thru-hiking community. You’re the best 🫶

We’d love to hear what you think about our new look 😇

Best beginner island thru-hike 👉 GR131 Tenerife 🇪🇸🇮🇨 85 km ~ 53 miles | 5 days | all info 👇

The GR131 trail on Tenerife is one of the most beautiful ways to see this amazing Canary Island. The trail takes you through ancient pine forests, and then up to the high desert with views of El Teide, the island’s active volcano🌋 before taking you down near the coast on trails in tropical ravines.

Full disclosure: while this is a good trail for beginner long-distance hikers, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily easy. You’ll need to carry 3-4 liters of water and a full pack through high heat in the desert and forest. So just be sure to prepare well and you’ll have a good time!

This trail is one of the seven GR131 island trails 🙏 (you can find the other trails on La Gomera, Gran Canaria, El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Palma). The paths on Tenerife are well-maintained and signposted, and not too technical or steep. Just carry enough water and figure out your accommodations ahead of time, which will be different each night (camping, bivouac, hotels…) ⛺️

Important: wild camping is illegal, so you’ll need to stay at the designated campsites and the bivouac spot at Guajara.

Stages 👇

1️⃣ La Esperanza – La Caldera campsite, 30.5 km
2️⃣ La Caldera – El Portillo (taxi to hotel), 13 km
3️⃣ El Portillo – Guajara bivouac, 13 km
4️⃣ Guajara bivouac – Vilaflor (hotel), 11 km
5️⃣ Vilaflor – Arona, 17.5 km

Hiking on Tenerife is a fantastic experience and something we recommend to any thru-hiker who wants an island and desert escape in autumn / winter ☀️

GR131 Tenerife 🇪🇸🇮🇨 85 km ~ 53 miles | 5 days | Stages & info 👇

The GR131 is a thru-hike across all of the Canary Islands, and we hiked the Tenerife section in February to trade the cold winter for a sunny one ☀️ The trail is a great mix of forest, desert, volcanoes, and mountains as you explore this famous island.

The Tenerife section of the GR131 is technically easier than on the other islands, but accommodations are still tricky to find. Because wild camping is illegal on the Canary Islands, you will need to cobble together your lodgings as a mix of hotels and permitted bivouacking and campsites 🏕️ On stage 2, you will need to order a taxi to pick you up and drop you at the trailhead and the other stages will end near a hotel or at a bivouac spot 😊

Be sure to pack enough layers for this one! While it can be very hot down by the coast, as you make your way higher toward El Teide, the days will get cooler, and you’ll want gloves and a hat for the mornings ❄️ It snowed on the volcano when we were there in February!

Stages 👇

1️⃣ La Esperanza – La Caldera campsite, 30.5 km
2️⃣ La Caldera – El Portillo, 13 km
3️⃣ El Portillo – Guajara bivouac, 13 km
4️⃣ Guajara bivouac – Vilaflor, 11 km
5️⃣ Vilaflor – Arona, 17.5 km

P.S. It is possible to climb El Teide, the volcano on Tenerife 🌋 However, be aware that you will need permits and proper gear like microspikes. There is a ranger station about 5 km up the mountain that will check if you are prepared.
