Seefelder Spitze — The Karwendel Crown

Rising sharply from the Seefeld plateau, the Seefelder Spitze (2,221m) is a classic peak in the Karwendel Alps. The trail from the Rosshütte cable car station follows a sustained ridge-line connecting the Seefelder Joch with the summit. The terrain is typical Karwendel: brittle limestone, narrow ridges, and significant vertical drops into the surrounding range. While the lift provides a useful head-start, the hike itself demands surefootedness and good aerobic fitness, and rewards those who complete it with a panorama spanning from the Zugspitze to the main alpine ridge.

Canada's longest hut-to-hut hiking trail and a hidden gem of the West Coast. Stretching 180km from Sarah Point to Saltery Bay, the Sunshine Coast Trail (SCT) winds through ancient rainforests, along coastal ridges, and past crystal-clear lakes. Unlike many others, the SCT is developed and maintained by a non-profit (PAWS) and features 14 beautiful, free-to-use huts. It is a spectacular wilderness marathon for the community-minded hiker.
