Creator's Key Takeaways

We consider ourselves pretty avid hikers. This is next level though here.

Truly the most beautiful place we've ever been.

Climbing the 1,978 steps was brutal, but so worth it.

We 100% believe that trekking poles are an essential item.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Plan to be in certain areas for extra days to wait for good weather.
✓Bring trekking poles and sturdy waterproof hiking boots.
✓Wear layers (base, mid, and raincoat) for dynamic weather.
✓Use the All Trails app and a hiking book for planning.
✓Park at the visitor center in Reine for the Reinebringen hike.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Fear of heights/exposure — Know your limits; it is okay to stop before the summit (e.g., at Reinebringen).
Suitability for children — Reinebringen is not recommended for young children due to extreme exposure.
Hiking difficulty — Expect 'easy' or 'moderate' trails to be hard by US standards.
