The Rise of Luxury Hiking on European Long Distance Trails Long distance walking in Europe has long been a staple of outdoor enthusiasts, but as summer temperatures soar, the experience is increasingly becoming a luxury getaway for those who can afford it.
In Switzerland's Jungfrau region, for instance, a nine stage, 74 mile tour is touted as a "magnificent moderate grade, hut to hut loop" offering breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps and picturesque villages.
However, prices start at £1,510 per person for an eight day trip, making it clear that luxury has become a significant aspect of this experience.
