For adrenaline seekers, Alpine trekking offers a way to transform themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. Hiking is heating up as the desire to be outside and closer to nature is more important than ever before.
Having been a Park Ranger for 25 years, I knew from first-hand experience the power of nature immersion on mental, emotional and physical health. Fitness trekking through sun-drenched alpine flower meadows, beneath 80,000-year-old glaciers, puts life in context and becomes fitness for the soul.
