When we started hiking in Europe, we stopped hiking anywhere else. Okay, it’s mostly because of the food. I mean who wouldn’t want a Käse Rösti mid-hike or a celebratory beach-side seafood linguini at the end of a hike.
Whether you’re hiking in the mountains, along the coast, or in river valleys (vineyard hikes anyone?), Europe hiking trails spoil you with delicious food, fresh dairy, wine, beer, schnapps, and of course romantic scenery. So, our definition of a best hiking trail in Europe is one that combines sensational landscapes with culinary rewards. After all, this is Europe.
At this point, our passion for hiking in Europe is an obsession, albeit a healthy one. So, this post outlines our favorite day hikes in Europe to date. We update this post every year.

Best Day Hikes in Europe
1. Olpererhütte, Zillertal Alps, Austria

This gorgeous Europe hiking trail serves up quintessential alpine landscapes filled with scenes of glaciated peaks, alpine pastures, and sparkling teal waters. It’s also a great introduction to mountain hut culture in the Austrian Alps.
Olpererhütte is a mountain hut in the Zillertal Alps in Tirol, Austria. It’s one of the most perfectly situated refuges in the Alps, because it overlooks the Schlegeisspeicher reservoir backed by the arresting Zillertal mountains.
There are a few ways to hike up to Olpererhütte. Like many things in life, the longer and more difficult way is the more rewarding journey. We highly recommend approaching Olpererhütte from Friesenberghaus.
To start this hike, drive or take the bus from Mayrhofen to the Schlegeisspeicher reservoir. From the reservoir, ascend two hours to Friesenberghaus. If needed, take a break at the managed hut and drink a refreshing beverage like Apfelsaft gespritzt or Johannisbeersaft gespritzt (juice mixed with sparkling water).
From Friesenberghaus, the way to Olpererhütte follows the captivating Berlin High Trail, one of the best multi-day hikes in Austria.
The trail steeply ascends 170 meters and then eases into a magnificent traverse.
Shortly before arriving at the hut, you’ll cross a suspension bridge. This small bridge is one of the most coveted photo motifs in Austria.
When you arrive at the beloved Olpererhütte, grab a seat outside on the hut’s terrace. From here, you’ll have unobstructed views of the Schlegeisspeicher reservoir at the foot of 3,000 meter high peaks. There’s no better place to have a slow, indulgent lunch and a glass of wine.
Trailhead | Schlegeisspeicher reservoir
Distance | 13 km circuit
Time Needed | 7 hours
Difficulty | Moderate – Moderately Difficult
When to Hike | Summer, Early Fall
Recommended Itinerary | 7 Day Austria Road Trip or 10-Day Bavarian & Tyrol Road Trip

2. Seven Sisters Cliffs Walk, South Downs, England

The Seven Sisters are a series of white chalk cliffs stretching from Cuckmere Haven to Birling Gap in East Sussex, England. Plunging into the English Channel, these shimmering vertical cliffs are best experienced on foot.
The Seven Sisters Cliffs walk starts in Seaford and ends in Eastbourne, hugging the coast almost the entire way.
Most people will visit the Seven Sisters Cliffs as a day trip from either Brighton, or London.
We recommend starting this point-to-point day hike in Seaford. From the Seaford train station, walk directly to the sea and follow the promenade to the eastern end of the beach. From here, locate the coastal trail that enters Seaford Head Nature Reserve. Follow this coastal trail in the direction of Cuckmere Haven.
From Cuckmere Haven, walk inland to Cuckmere Inn and cross the river at the bridge. After the bridge crossing, head back to the coast and follow the South Downs Way to Birling Gap and Beachy Head.
This is easily one of the most spectacular hikes in Europe. Start early and walk slowly, because you’ll want to relish every moment.
Insider Tip: Order cream tea (tea with scones) at the Birling Gap Café.
Starting Point | Seaford
Ending Point | Eastbourne
Distance | 21.9 km point-to-point
Time Needed | 7 hours
Difficulty | Easy
When to Hike | Spring, Summer, or Fall

3. Saxer Lücke and Fälensee, Alpstein, Switzerland

Fälensee (also spelled Fählensee) is a gorgeous alpine lake in Switzerland’s Alpstein mountain range in Appenzell.
A spectacular circuit trail links Hoher Kasten with Berggasthaus Stauberen, Saxer Lücke, and Fälensee.
This Swiss hike begins with cable car ascent to Hoher Kasten. From the mountain station, follow the Erster Geologischer Wanderweg der Schweiz (Geological Trail) in the direction of Berggasthaus Stauberen.
Along the way, you’ll pass Saxer Lücke, a “gap” in the mountain, where you’ll be treated to striking views of Kreuzberg, one of the most memorable mountains in the Swiss Alps. The trail continues to descend all the way to the lake.
At Fälensee, grab lunch at the Berggasthaus Bollenwees. This might be the best place to get a Rösti mit Appenzeller Käse (cheesy hashbrowns) in the region.
From the lake, the trail continues all the way down to Brülisau Car Park.
While this hike isn’t technically difficult, it’s long and taxing on your knees, because you’re descending the whole time.
Trailhead | Brülisau Car Park / Hoher Kasten Cable Car
Distance | 16.3 km circuit
Time Needed | 5:30 – 6 hours
Difficulty | Moderate
When to Hike | Summer
Where to Stay in Appenzell | Alte Metzg – Hostel (budget), Hotel B&B Stossplatz (midrange), or Hotel Löwen (luxury)

4. Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, Algarve, Portugal

Famed for its sunshine and spectacular beaches, Algarve is probably not the first place you think of when dreaming about hiking in Europe. However, if you’re visiting Southern Portugal in Spring, or Fall, coastal hiking should be your number one priority.
One of the most beautiful coastal paths in Algarve stretches between Praia da Marinha to Praia de Vale Centianes. This 5.7 km trail (one-way) can easily be done as an out-and-back hike.
Eat lunch at O Stop on Vale Centianes beach, before returning to Praia da Marinha.
Trailhead | Praia da Marinha
Destination | Praia de Vale Centianes
Distance | 5.7 km one-way, 11.4 km out-and-back
Time Needed | 2 – 2:30 hours one-way, 5 – 6 hours out-and-back

5. Tre Cime di Lavaredo Circuit, Sexten Dolomites, Italy

Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen in German) is the name given to three mammoth peaks in the Sesto/Sexten Dolomites in Northern Italy. These iconic peaks mark the border between German-speaking South Tyrol and Italian-speaking Belluno.
The loop trail around the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Italian Dolomites is one of the most jaw-dropping and accessible day hikes in Europe.
The Tre Cime di Lavaredo loop hike starts at the mountain hut Rifugio Auronzo, which is accessible by a toll road. The closest towns to Tre Cime di Lavaredo are Cortina d’Ampezzo and Dobbiaco/Toblach in Alta Pusteria/Pustertal.
From Rifugio Auronzo, we recommend hiking the circuit clockwise. Follow trail 105 in the direction of Langealm.
Though most people venture here to see the Three Peaks, they soon realize that Tre Cime di Lavaredo is just the beginning of an unending visual feast that extends in every possible direction.
Along the circuit, there are a few managed huts which sell food and refreshments. We recommend eating a hearty meal at Drei Zinnen Hütte (Rifugio Locatelli).
After completing the hike, walk from the Rifugio Auronzo car park to the impressive Cadini di Misurina Viewpoint.
Trailhead | Rifugio Auronzo
Distance | 9.7 km circuit
Time Needed | 4 hours
Difficulty | Easy – Moderate
When to Hike | Summer, Early Fall

6. Xlendi Bay to Sanap Cliffs, Malta

Gozo Island is the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s famous for its cliffed coastline, idyllic coves, and pastoral landscapes.
The island nation of Malta is a fabulous destination for a quick winter sun holiday in Europe. We visited Malta in February and enjoyed brilliant blue skies, moderate temperatures, and peaceful trails.
The out-and-back hike from Xlendi Bay to the Sanap Cliffs is a deliciously, scenic hike which hugs the pristine coastline the whole time.
To start this hike, head to the seaside village of Xlendi in the southwest coast of Gozo.
Walk to Xlendi Beach and follow the pedestrian path along the bay. The paver walkway wraps around the bay to an idyllic picnic area with a smattering of benches. After crossing a stone bridge, the trail ascends to the Ras il-Bajda cliffs, home to the historic Xlendi Tower, which dates back to 1650.
Continue south along the high cliffside trail. You’ll pass a sheltered cove and then join another paver walkway, which leads to the Sanap Cliffs.
When the paver walkway ends, continue following the coast all the way to Il-Pinnur Point.
Trailhead | Xlendi Beach, Gozo Island
Distance | 7.1 km out-and-back
Time Needed | 2:40 hours
Difficulty | Easy
When to Hike | November – May

7. Bobotov Kuk, Durmitor National Park, Montenegro

Bobotov Kuk (also spelled Bobotov Kuv) is the highest peak (2,523 m) in Durmitor National Park and a favorite hiking destination in Montenegro. To start this hike in the Dinaric Alps, head to “Sedlo,” the pass on the scenic P14 road, which is 14 km outside of Žabljak.
Initially, the trail is mostly flat, gently meandering across meadows for 1:30 – 2 hours. The surrounding mountains dazzle with their unique shapes and geological features. It’s like walking through a colossal sculpture gallery.
Soon after passing the small lake Zeleni Vrh, the trail ascends dramatically. The final stretch to the summit is partially secured and requires a bit of scrambling.
Trail poles like the Unisex Black Diamond Hiking Pole are very helpful, especially on the descent.
Trailhead | Sedlo on P14
Distance | 10.6 km out-and-back
Time Needed | 6 hours
Difficulty | Moderately Difficult
When to Hike | Summer, Early Fall
Recommended Itinerary | 2 Week Montenegro Road Trip
Where to Stay in Žabljak | Apartments Sipcic (budget), Guest House Durmitor Paradise (midrange), or Hotel Soa (luxury)

8. Roques de García, Tenerife, Spain

When it comes to hiking in Europe, most hiking destinations are only accessible in the summer. However, there’s a wonderful exception.
If you want to hike in Europe in winter, head to the Canary Islands. We spent one month exploring Tenerife Island from December to January, and we were blown away by the scenic diversity and the trail options.
You can read about our favorite trails in Best Day Hikes in Tenerife.
One particular hike everyone should do is the Roques de García loop trail in Teide National Park.
The park’s main attraction is Mount Teide (3715 m), the highest mountain in Spain. However, the Roques de García rock formation is another attraction worth visiting.
The trail starts at the Mirador de la Ruleta viewpoint, directly across from Parador Nacional, in the Las Cañadas caldera. From the Mirador de la Ruleta lookout point, you’ll see the impressive La Catedral rock jutting out of the Caldera floor. In the background, the caldera rim looks like a wall of stone.
With Mount Teide (Spain’s highest mountain) in full view, the trail loops around these craggy rocks in just over an hour.
Trailhead | Mirador de la Ruleta, Teide National Park
Distance | 4.2 km circuit
Time Needed | 1:30 hours
Difficulty | Easy
When to Hike | November – May

9. Seven Lakes Valley, Julian Alps, Slovenia

Seven Lakes Valley (aka Triglav Lakes Valley) is one of the most enchanting destinations in Triglav National Park and one of the best day hikes in Slovenia. The valley contains a string of seven lakes, each uniquely beautiful.
There are several different approaches to Triglav Lakes Valley, including the route starting at Koča pri Savici, accessible from Ukanc, and the one starting at Planina Blato, high above Stara Fužina. Ukanc and Stara Fužina are two small settlements near Lake Bohinj.
We recommend hiking to Triglav Lakes Valley from Planina Blato, which is the easier approach. On the way to Seven Lakes Valley, you’ll hike across some of the loveliest alpine pastures in the Julian Alps, including Planina pri Jezeru, Planina Viševnik, and Planina Ovčarija.
From the Štapce saddle (1851 m), you’ll descend to Dvojno Jezero (Double Lake), where the Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih (Triglav Lakes Hut) is happily situated.
If you thirst for adventure, consider hiking this challenging two-day Seven Lakes Valley hike, which follows the thrilling Špičje ridge.

10. Tossals Verds Circuit Trail, Mallorca, Spain

Puig des Tossals Verds (1118 m) is a mountain in the Serra de Tramuntana range on the island of Mallorca.
A very satisfying circuit trail loops around Puig des Tossals Verds, following the GR 221 almost the whole way.
We loved this trail because it’s scenically varied. The trail meanders between beautiful limestone mountains, above narrow gorges, through olive groves and oak forests, and along a long water canal.
Starting near the Cúber Reservoir, the trail first ascends to Coll de sa Coma des Ases. From the saddle, the trail descends across a stunning high valley towards the Torrent d’Almedra stream/gorge.
It continues to the managed Refugio Tossal Verds and up through an olive grove and oak forest to Coll des Coloms. The final leg follows the Canal des Embassaments water canal all the way back to the Cúber bus stop/car park.

This trail is signed and in excellent condition. Overall, it’s a moderate hike with excellent views of Agaete Valley, the Riscos de Tamadaba, Roque Faneque cliffs, and the northwest coast of Gran Canaria. There’s no technical difficulty.

The whole point of this hike is to savor the beauty of the sloping vineyards whilst tasting the region’s celebrated pinot noir wines. So, it’s basically a winery crawl.

Such an interesting list of day hikes in Europe is only possible for someone who is obsessed with hiking like you. I have read about Seven Sister Cliff before and it’s my dream to explore it one day.
