Europe’s new Alps Crossing ⛰️ E5 🇦🇹🇮🇹 366 km ~ 227 miles | 23 stages | all info 👇

Discover the new E5 Alps Crossing that connects Germany, Austria and Italy over roughly 366 km of trail! An important new project has refreshed this section of the E5 thru-hike with updated routing, digital guides and better trail information. By encouraging hikers to stay, eat and explore locally, it also helps keep mountain villages and regions alive 🤩

We’re exploring its South Tyrol section first: eight days from Moos in Passeier towards Cembra, covering around 128 km 🙏

From mountain trails around the Hirzerhütte and Meran 2000 to forests, farms and small villages, the scenery changes every day. You’ll stay at mountain alms and local village accommodation along the way. It’s a very unknown and amazing hiking region in Europe 💚

2️⃣ Pfandler Alm - Hirzerhütte 7.4 km | 4.6 mi

E5 Alps Crossing 🇦🇹🇮🇹 366 km ~ 227 miles | 23 stages | all info 👇

We’re spotlighting the E5 Alps Crossing, which connects Austria and Italy over roughly 366 km of trail, forming part of the much longer European E5 thru-hike, which stretches around 3200 km from France’s Atlantic coast to Italy ⛰️

A recent project has given the route through Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino (366 km - 23 stages) a fresh update, with revised routing, digital guides and better trail information to help hikers discover this beautiful and very unknown section 🤩

We’re exploring its South Tyrol section first: eight days from Moos in Passeier towards Cembra, covering around 128 km 🙏

This trail is as diverse as it gets, taking you from mountain trails around the Hirzerhütte and Meran 2000 to forests, farms and villages as you head south. You’ll sleep at the alms and in village accommodation suited to slow travel along the way. The climbs on this trail are tough! Some days are short and steep, while others cover more than 20 km.

South Tyrol stages (128 km) 👇

1️⃣ Moos in Passeier - Pfandler Alm 15.3 km
2️⃣ Pfandler Alm - Hirzerhütte 7.4 km
3️⃣ Hirzerhütte - Meran 2000 10.4 km
4️⃣ Meran 2000 - Jenesien 21.8 km
5️⃣ Jenesien - Deutschnofen 23.6 km
6️⃣ Deutschnofen - Oberradein 12.4 km
7️⃣ Oberradein - Gfrill 20.1 km
8️⃣ Gfrill - Cembra 16.6 km

💡 You can also hike the South Tyrolean section and the sections beyond it in autumn (Sept - Oct, depending on snowfall), after the busy hiking season in the Alps.

Walker’s Haute Route 🇫🇷 🇨🇭 220 km ~ 137 miles | 10-14 days | stages & info👇

The Walker’s Haute Route is one of Europe’s most iconic alpine traverses, linking Chamonix in France with Zermatt in Switzerland. Unlike the mountaineering Haute Route, the hiking route requires no glacier travel, but it remains a demanding trek with around 14,000 meters (46,000 ft) of ascent over 11 mountain passes.

Expect spectacular views of dramatic glaciers, turquoise alpine lakes, traditional alpine villages, and some of Europe’s highest peaks, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. While many hikers stay in mountain huts and village accommodation, others camp at campsites or bivouac where permitted. 

🏔️ For this trail, I used the Osprey® Europe Tempest Pro, ultralight, durable and made for technical alpine trails.
Stages👇 

1️⃣ Chamonix – Trient 24 km | 14.9 mi
2️⃣ Trient – Champex-Lac 17 km | 10.5 mi
3️⃣ Champex-Lac – Le Châble 14.1 km | 8.8 mi
4️⃣ Le Châble – Cabane du Mont Fort 12.3 km | 7.6 mi
5️⃣ Cabane du Mont Fort – Cabane de la Barmaz 17.9 km | 11.1 mi
6️⃣ Cabane de la Barmaz – La Sage 27.5 km | 17.1 mi
7️⃣ La Sage – Cabane de Moiry 11.8 km | 7.3 mi
8️⃣ Cabane de Moiry – Zinal 16.6 km | 10.3 mi
9️⃣ Zinal – Gruben 17.7 km | 11 mi
🔟 Gruben – St. Niklaus 18.4 km | 11.4 mi 
1️⃣1️⃣ St. Niklaus – Europahütte 19.2 km | 12 mi 
1️⃣2️⃣ Europahütte – Zermatt 21.9 km | 13.6 mi 

P.S. Stages 1–2 overlap with the Tour du Mont Blanc, while stages 11–12 overlap with the Tour de Monte Rosa – two of the Alps’ most iconic long-distance hikes.
