We doubt you'll need a reason
to go play in the Alps, but in case you do, check out
our Top 10 (...oops 11) list!
The
Alps have:
11. An incredible concentration of some
of the highest and most dramatic peaks in Europe.
10. An abundance of scenic hikes that'll
take you through (or close to) glaciers, forests,
valleys, rivers, lakes, and flower-filled meadows.
9. A landscape replete with ancient history
and enchanting cultures.
8. More than 22,000 miles of well-marked
trails.
7. Trails
that offer hiking for all levels of difficulties
- from strolling the hills to strenuous rocky
trails crossing steep passes.
6. One-day hikes that can take you from
one country to another so you can explore multiple
cultures, speak multiple languages, and sample
multiple dishes - all in one day.
5. Several spots from where you can admire
the Matterhorn's characteristic and famous snowcapped
peak.
4. An incredible outdoor playground that
is never far from a tasty meal in a cozy restaurant,
or a bed with duvet cover.
3. Easy accessibility (no long hiking
days before you get to "the good stuff").
2. The benefit of being very close to
some of the greatest European cities (check them
out while you're over there!)
1. Places where you can buy some of the
best chocolate in the world.
