Hut to hut hiking is like an elevated version of thru-hiking.

If you love the outdoors as much as creature comforts, hiking hut to hut might be the perfectly balanced adventure for you.

Unlike air travel with its chaotic security lines and trip-ruining delays, or driving with its parking challenges and navigation stress, train travel in Europe offers a uniquely relaxed way to witness the changing landscapes, architecture, and cultures as you cross borders. For the truly adventurous traveler, the flexibility of an interrail pass is unparalleled. Hop off a few stops early to explore a hidden gem town recommended by the friendly locals you met in the cafe car. Or reschedule your ticket and stay one night longer to buy a bit more time with that lovely person you locked eyes with across the market. While train travel is considered slow travel, it’s never time wasted.
