A poster that shows the map of the Via Alpina network of Hiking trails (red, blue, green, yellow, and purple trails). It shows a rough topographical area of the map, all the neighboring countries, the largest peaks, and the main villages along the way. At the bottom, you’ll also find the distance for each of the Via Alpina trails. If you’ve hiked one of these trails yourself, then this poster will be a great way to keep you on track to completing the other ones in the future.
About The Via Alpina
The Via Alpina is a network of long-distance hiking trails that stretch through the Alps. In total, the network consists of 5 different long-distance hiking trails - the Red Trail, Blue Trail, Green Trail, Yellow Trail, and Purple Trail. The longest one by far is the Red Trail, stretching to over 2500 km in length and going through 8 different countries. All of these hiking trails are very well-waymarked and each year, thousands of people hike them. That said, these trails definitely aren't easy, as you'll be passing through high mountains pretty much the whole way. That said, completing at least one of the Via Alpina hiking trails is definitely worth it, because you'll experience the wild, tranquil nature of the Alps in the center of Europe, walk through many different countries and experience different cultures, and see a lot of wildlife and amazing views along the way.
