Alpe Adria Trail

The Alpe-Adria Trail is an epic long-distance hiking route connecting the foot of Austria's highest peak, the Grossglockner (3,798m), with the Adriatic port of Muggia in Italy. Spanning 43 stages, the trail traverses the Hohe Tauern National Park, the Nock Mountains, the Julian Alps, and the karst plateau of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is designed as a 'discovery trail', prioritizing dramatic landscape transitions from the glaciated high Alps through the 'Emerald' Soča Valley to the Mediterranean coast. While it skirts technical climbing peaks, the total distance and cumulative elevation changes create a significant endurance demand.

The Great Ocean Walk is a 104km point-to-point coastal trekking route in Victoria, Australia. Connecting Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles, the trail follows the Shipwreck Coast within the Great Otway National Park. The route traverses mixed terrain including Mountain Ash forests, coastal heathland, and tidal beaches. It serves as a terrestrial alternative to the Great Ocean Road, providing access to remote cliff-top vantage points above the Southern Ocean. Surface composition consists of managed forest tracks, purpose-built boardwalks, and segments of uncompacted sand and rocky littoral platforms.
