@endo said in The Great Outdoors - Hiking and so on…:

100% agree with @JunkPants on the beauty of the Lofoten (not so much for food, and the weather can be fickle ).

I neatly skipped over the food part (although there's certainly some decent seafood to be had during the summer months).

True about the weather as well, we were very lucky when we were there.

Easy access to the Alps by plane:
Innsbruck, Salzburg in Austria
Geneva and Zürich in Swiss
And for Italy I tried Bozen once…

I would go with Endo and mention the Dolomites/Italy first.
Beatiful mountain scenarios, easy walks, a lot of cableways in the summer and the food is glorious. Villnöss is a pearl.

One of the most impressive views in the alps you can get in Swiss. All the names you know fullfill, even when hypertouristic. I recommend Grindelwald.

@AdamC

All in one package for a long weekend in France: Chamonix with the beatiful Aiguille du midi . Airport Geneva and then 88km via train.

@AdamC if you like to come to Switzerland let me know. Happy to help and assist. It can’t get more scenic than Switzerland if you ask me.
If you need a place to stay, you are more then welcome!

[AdamC]

@Dmart thank you that is super kind of you. I have never been to Switzerland (well I flew to Geneva but then drove to Chamonix) so if not this time, it will happen in the not so distant future!

@AdamC @Dmart It could be cool to meet you guys, I live 30 mins far from Geneva

Not really outdoors yet, but in the process of taming Mikes Danners to hopefully break them in in time for our backpacking trip to Indonesia.

backpacking trip to Indonesia

cool, my favourite country. where to there?

[weftyarn]

Bali, Java, Sumatra, Singapore is the plan.
First nights in Bali and last two nights in Singapore are booked, apart from that there’s still a lot of room (almost 4 weeks to be precise) for spontaneity

brilliant, enjoy!
