Alpine Pass Route (Via Alpina Route 1)

The Alpine Pass Route (National Route 1) is a classic trans-Swiss trek that crosses the backbone of the Bernese Oberland and the Glarus Alps. Beginning in Sargans near the Liechtenstein border and finishing in Montreux on Lake Geneva, the trail traverses 16-20 major alpine passes, including the formidable Hohtürli (2,778m) and Sefinafurgga. The route is defined by its constant verticality, offering uninterrupted views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs. While technically categorized as hiking, the cumulative ascent of over 24,000 meters and the exposure of the high-altitude pass crossings place it among the most demanding non-glacial treks in the Alps.

The Thorsborne Trail is a 32km point-to-point trekking route along the eastern coastline of Hinchinbrook Island, within Girringun National Park, Queensland. Running between Ramsay Bay in the north and George Point in the south, the trail traverses a diverse tropical landscape of mangrove systems, granite headlands, and rainforest. Hinchinbrook is an uninhabited wilderness island, accessible only by organized boat transfers from the mainland hubs of Cardwell or Lucinda. The route follows the Hinchinbrook Channel side and the open Coral Sea, passing significant features like Zoe Falls and the granite peaks of Mount Bowen.
