Nepal
Everest, Annapurna, Langtang
Evidence-based research on Nepal trekking. 10 articles covering the helicopter fraud scandal, permits, costs, altitude, and every major trek. Every claim sourced.
Dolomites
Alta Via 1, via ferrata, Tre Cime, rifugio culture
Dolomites hiking — the Alta Via 1 and 2, via ferrata routes, and the densest rifugio network in the Alps. 900 years of pastoral alpine culture turned into a hut-to-hut walk where the infrastructure is the experience and the booking window is the real crux. Every claim sourced.
Chamonix / TMB
Tour du Mont Blanc, Haute Route, Mer de Glace
Chamonix and the Tour du Mont Blanc — the 170km circuit through France, Italy, and Switzerland that is the single most popular multi-day trek in Europe. Refuge booking windows that close 6 months ahead, the Haute Route to Zermatt, Mer de Glace retreat, and the CHF/EUR pricing split that doubles your daily cost when you cross into Switzerland. Every claim sourced.
