Interesting, inspiring. Makes me dream of traveling...
This sites turned into hiker porn. Bad for my concentration.
My day is shot now. I'll be researching the via Alpina the rest of the day.
I'm not too sure about doing the Via Alpina Red Trail having to deal with all those huge attack dogs (Mastiffs) that live above 4000 meters as stated in the text.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Not everyone has film.
Massifs, not mastiffs. ha, ha.
No kidding right... And it's cool to see that Starbucks is involved with the first two listed also...Originally Posted by Old Hillwalker

Erin “Wired” Saver has walked a number of these trails. She is currently on the Great Himalaya Trail. She keeps detailed blogs on all her hikes. She is a substitute teacher and nanny part of the year, and hikes part of the year.

Armenia...maybe someday
You can walk in another person's shoes, but only with your feet
I'm surprised they didn't include the Sentiero Italia. There was a post a while back about it that included a short video. Looks like a really neat hike through Italy and some of the northern bordering countries.

Walking the old silk road would be right up there.

A better list would not include any of these trails, nor would it be posted publicly on the internet.

I've read a lot about the Kungsleden in Sweden. It is high on my list, especially the northern section. Since I'm a Swedish American, I have lots of cousins over there, including a spy and a member of ABBA. I wonder if they want to come along?
Yeah, I know but I couldn't help it.

I know you knew, OH. I couldn't help it either; I was a copy editor for many years and loathed Spell Check, which is undoubtedly responsible for the transformation of big ranges into big dogs.
routes on your secret squirrel list would basically be unmaintained, poorly marked and few services - just join tipi
new (organized) trails and routes around the world is good news to me - should never run out of interesting things to see and do - by the time one could get through half of this list more will be developed
Hardly. Signs. Campsites or find your own. Admittedly not all require months to complete. It just takes a bit of self directed research.
Heck, Dogwood has probably hiked a few. Cheers!

Make your own way. Pick any mountain range in the world. Research the trails and hike it from end to end.

There definitely some benefits in moving back to the UK...some of these trails will be a lot closer and thus easier to do
