And if with the time of cherries, had come that of some well-chosen walks? This is the subject of this newsletter which gives pride of place to soft mobility, namely your legs! Whether on your feet or on the pedals of a bicycle, get ready to discover many wonders. From the lost moors of Swedish Lapland to a hostile road of the Carretera Austral passing through the tormented reliefs of the Basque Country, only one watchword: good preparation!
Because the sporting challenges are likely to be daunting, between long journeys, vertigo-inducing elevations and life in total autonomy. Outdoor enthusiasts should not be disappointed. Our selection gives pride of place to first-class itineraries, where you immerse yourself in nature that is both welcoming and wild.

Alone in the world in a padded landscape. That’s what this hike in the Austrian heights promises. With the Alps as a travel companion. In the heart of the Ötztal valley, we walked its high road of the same name, from refuges to inns. A hike with majestic panoramas, punctuated by a few cozy stages.

This is an ideal hiking trail for walkers looking for solitude, disconnection and wide open spaces. The Kungsleden crosses the wild immensities of Swedish Lapland over 430 km. In summer, you can enjoy a pleasant coolness (between 5 and 15°C) and the midnight sun, a period of a few weeks during which the star almost never sets.
