A new year brings fresh inspiration! In 2025, Eurohike showcases the incredible variety and excitement of exploring Europe on foot. For over two decades, the active travel specialists have guided hiking enthusiasts through breathtaking regions—and this year's adventures are no exception. The Alpine region remains the crown jewel of hiking destinations. In particular, the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps captivate hikers with their towering peaks and gently shimmering alpine meadows. Further south, Slovenia's Soča Valley is emerging as a must-visit destination. The turquoise river, winding like a sparkling ribbon through the alpine landscape, is the perfect spot for those who dare to take a refreshing dip.

With the hiking trends of 2025, Eurohike is not only presenting new destinations but embracing a philosophy: it's all about arriving—both in the heart of Europe's most stunning landscapes and within yourself.
