Besseggen Ridge

Besseggen Ridge is arguably Norway's most famous and beloved day-hike, situated in the heart of Jotunheimen National Park ('Home of the Giants'). The7-mile (14km) point-to-point trek is internationally renowned for the staggering visual contrast it offers from its highest point (1,743m): looking down on one side at the deep, emerald-green, glacier-fed Gjende lake (nearly 1,000m below), and on the other side at the deep-blue Bessvatnet lake (400m below). The hike is physically demanding, involving steep, rugged terrain and a famous steep rock scramble along the narrowest part of the knife-edge ridge.

The Wilderness Coast Walk is a remote, point-to-point coastal trek of roughly 100 km, linking the Merrica River trailhead in South East NSW (Nadgee Nature Reserve) to Mallacoota Inlet in Gippsland, Victoria (Croajingolong National Park). The route traverses expansive sand dunes, sandstone headlands, and coastal heathlands along the Tasman Sea, with optional extensions to Green Cape. Navigation relies on tidal windows and topographic cues, as much of the track is unmarked. The walk passes through critical habitats for species such as the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Permits are required from NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.
