Best Hikes in the World- To Try Before You Die

Best Hikes in the World- To Try Before You Die

Here are 20 of the best hikes in the world to try before you die. From multi day backpacking routes, to hut to hut walks, day hikes and cross country expeditions, this list will take you around the world to see some of the most epic scenery you could imagine. It was no easy feat narrowing this list down, and I hope it inspires you to grab your backpack and head for the mountains.
***Corrections- Colombia not Columbia
GR 20 is mislabeled as 4,000 feet of elevation and it should say 40,000

What hikes on this list are you adding to your list?

    great video but I’m sure john Muir would wonder why trials from his homeland are not included

  2. @Indianoamericanorussiano on February 5, 2025 at 4:32 pm

    Best hikes in the world ! Without even mentioning (1) Kashmir Great lakes & (2) Sandakphu-phalut 🥱🥱🥱

  3. @susiaso on February 5, 2025 at 4:34 pm

    it was very interesting, thank you so much for your presentation, Also i would like to invite you to come and experience 320 KM long diversify trekking path in my country Sri Lanka.

  4. @neilquinn on February 5, 2025 at 4:35 pm

    Good list I’ve hit a number of these or some variant of them. Done: TMB, 1/2 of Kalalau, Inca trail instead of salkantay, Tugela falls, day hikes on 3 capes and grand canyon, and routeburn instead of milford. Add some of the other high regions of peru to your list like Huayhash trek/Santa Cruz. Also it’s spelled Colombia not Columbia – you’re gonna make people angry 🙂 Laugavegur is probably next for me and then Patagonia. I want to do dolomites/alta via but already did Italy so kind of want to wait on that.

  5. @pwagzzz on February 5, 2025 at 4:36 pm

    Was getting worried but glad to see you covered the southrn hemisphere too 😁

  6. @s1u8n on February 5, 2025 at 4:38 pm

  9. @joseph40ninjas88 on February 5, 2025 at 4:43 pm

    The Highline Trail – Glacier NP is one of my favorite hikes. Big horn sheep strolled right by and kept me company

  10. @dwarsfluitistje on February 5, 2025 at 4:44 pm

    Next big hike for me, will be the MIUT in Madeira. It’s supposed to be stunning too. Happy hiking!

  11. @erichuifitness on February 5, 2025 at 4:44 pm

    Anything more than 3 days seems too intimidating lol

  12. @massimolombardi1569 on February 5, 2025 at 4:48 pm

    Una natura antica, meravigliosa e spettacolare, dove il tempo trascorrere lento e silenzioso. Trascorrere avventure in questi luoghi è davvero speciale e affascinante.Un viaggio dentro il nostro sogno infinito,regalandoci il sapore della terra e della visione divina…Max da Sora ciociaria

  19. @robertkasper1415 on February 5, 2025 at 4:51 pm

    I am surprised you did not include John Muir Trail.

  20. @thenwhathappened8011 on February 5, 2025 at 4:54 pm

    Amazing video!

  21. @richardcrowson2080 on February 5, 2025 at 4:58 pm

    Great video Alice! If you get the weather, the west highland way in Scotland is truly incredible….

    No india or china?

  28. @seektruth707 on February 5, 2025 at 5:06 pm

    Cool video Alice. That’s a unique and diverse list of hikes for sure.

  29. @gamalyelg on February 5, 2025 at 5:07 pm

    02:34 “Twelve thousand meters of elevation gain”… that’s higher than Everest 😂. I guess it was “twelve hundred”, right? 🙂

  30. @NamesteNepal-NPL on February 5, 2025 at 5:07 pm
  31. @Mike-qs6fl on February 5, 2025 at 5:07 pm

    Nice video!
    On-screen the GR20 Corsica is shown as 4,000 feet of height gain which is 1200 metres, whereas it is 42,000 feet/12,000 metres, as you actually say!😎Keep up the good work!

  32. @languagetraveller on February 5, 2025 at 5:08 pm

    Milford in New Zealand is absolutely magnificent, but I’d recommend Routeburn track instead, since it rains in Milford soooo much and you risk not seeing much during the trek. I went on a cruise in Milford Sound and absolutely loved it (it rained as well, but oh boy was it incredible). My friend did the Milford track and not only was it extremely expensive, but it rained every day and she couldn’t see much. I absolutely LOVED hiking in New Zealand during my working holiday, some more hikes/treks I’d recommend: Abel Tasman Coastal Track, Kepler Track, Robert’s Point track and of course Tongariro Alpine crossing. Stunning, just stunning scenery ❤

  33. @Andy-Mesa on February 5, 2025 at 5:08 pm

    You misspelled Colombia.

    Thank you so much!
    I once got a book called "1000 places to visit before you die" and, I’ll just add your list here to that one 😊
    Just home from some beautiful hikes in Santo Antao, Cape Verde (elevation 2000 meters, quite challenging and, the Atlantic Ocean all around) just off the West African coast and, definitely a place for me to go back.
    Thanks again for sharing all these stunning places!! 🌹🌹🌹

  36. @paul-akers on February 5, 2025 at 5:10 pm

    You r amazing!!!!!!

  37. @heartattackhiker3527 on February 5, 2025 at 5:12 pm

    You forgot the Eagle Creek trail in Columbia River gorge in Oregon.

  38. @Salamaleikum80 on February 5, 2025 at 5:15 pm

    Ladakh

  39. @jordancook1668 on February 5, 2025 at 5:16 pm

  40. @chrisrichter4485 on February 5, 2025 at 5:16 pm

    Great list! I’ll have to be sure to check of few of these off my list. My favorite hike is the Highline trail in Glacier National Park.

    There is Alice in the world of Karen…

  45. @kellylliam on February 5, 2025 at 5:22 pm

    Very inspiring thank you! Just an fyi, the West Coast Trail does not go thru the Great Bear Rainforest, the bottom of the GBR is on the north east side of Vancouver Island 🙂 Next week I’m on the WCT and in August the Tatchu Trail, above Nootka Island. I’ve done all the BC trails you mentioned, so good. For more Vancouver Island trails, try Nootka Island for a sweet little adventure, pretty easy and the North Coast Trail, a bit more challenging, but so wonderful. Thanks for the trails you mentioned, so inspiring 🙂
