Bonjour
J'aimerais partir en rando une semaine au mois de mai en Croatie
Qui l'a déjà fait, et quelles sont vos suggestions ?
Merci d'avance
personne ne peut m'aider ?🤪
Mais si !
Salut !
Je te conseille de randonner dans les îles, notamment celles en face de Split et de Dubrovnik..

Bonjour Bridget !
j'étais en croatie en juin 2005 pour 15 jours : nous n'avions rien réservé et avions juste en tête des points de chute qui nous semblaient intéressants. Résultat : un voyage inoubliable !! 🙂 Je te conseille le parc national de plivitce dans lequel tu peux te balader pendant 2 jours (des cascades bleues turquoise, promenades dans les sous bois, un vrai petit coin de paradis), j'ai aussi adoré l'île de hvar car c'est désertique et la mer a des couleurs fabuleuses, c'est très dépaysant et en juin il n'y avait pas grand monde pour t'embêter... Les liaisons maritimes entre les îles sont très simples et peu chères (compagnie jadolinjia) Si tu as des questions n'hésites pas

Hello,
Mon ami et moi sommes allés en Croatie au mois d'Avril 2005.
Même si le temps n'était pas toujours au rendez-vous, ce fut un magnifique voyage.
Mais coup de coeur randonnée: Autour de Baska sur l'île de Krk (grandes falaises) Plivitce (je rejoins les autres messages) est un lieu paradisiaque où l'on se sent si bien Parc de Krka en longeant la rivière à partir du lac (entrée du parc)
Pour les îles, malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu y aller à cause du vent, mais ça doit être super beau.
Je te souhaite un très beau voyage, je pense que tu as choisi une très bonne période car les randonnées avec plein de monde autour c'est pas pareil.

merci pour ce témoignage. Je dois reporter ce voyage pour l'instant, mais je pense que je ne serai pas déçue lorsque j'aurai la possibilité de le faire.
Merci encore

Voici notre itinéraire :
J1 : Paris-Zagreb-Plivitce : nous avons pu nous balader toute l'après midi dans le magnifique parc de plivitce. Nuit chez l'habitant à Plivitce
J2 : Plivitce-Vodice : ballade dans plivitce (quelle merveille) puis départ pour la petite station balnéaire de vodice en milieu d'après midi. Cette station balnéraire présente l'avantage d'être pas trop loin de Krka, Sibenik ou trogir, ce sont donc des excursions qui peuvent se faire dans la journée. Nous sommes restés 4 nuits à vodice, plus on reste longtemps dans un appart plus il est facile de négocier le prix !!
J3 : visite de trogir, vieille ville ou il fait bon flaner le nez en l'air avec des pavés luisants par le passage des siècles
J4 : visite de sibenik et détente à vodice
J5 : visite du parc de krka, des cascades fabuleuses ou il est possible de se baigner et de primosten
J6 : nous quittons notre appart de vodice pour aller sur split ou nous passons la journée dans cette ville incroyable avant de prendre le ferry pour l'ile de hvar qui part vers 20h. Nous arrivons sur hvar, vers 23h, il fait nuit mais des personnes attendent qui proposent des chambres à louer.
J7 : visite de l'île, végétation très méditerrannéene, de l'eau bleue turquoise un vrai régal
J8 : nous changeons de logement pour aller dans le petit village de milna, sensation de bout du monde pour se baigner avec nos palmes et nos tubas dans une eau splendide
J9 : départ le matin pour prendre le ferry qui nous menera a korcula, nous arrivons vers midi, visite de la ville assez rapide finallement car c'est tout petit. Nous pensions passer la nuit sur korcula mais en fait nous décidons de filer sur dubrovnik en passant par la route qui traverse les vignobles, c'est très joli. Nous arrivons sur dubrovnik en fin de journée, cherchons un logement et passons la soirée à nous ballader dans dubrovnik qui a une ambiance italienne très agrébale
J10-12 : nous gravitons autour de dubrovnik c'est sympa mais nous trouvons qu'il y a un peu trop de monde alors que nous étions quelques jours avant dans des criques désertes. Je conseillerais presque de commencer par dubrovnik puis de se dépayser sur la cote ou dans les parcs nationaux
J13-14 : nous devons rejoindre zagreb pour reprendre notre avion mais nous décidons de faire la route en 2 jours. Donc arrêt à markaska puis fin du voyage à zagreb
Nous avons toujours logés chez l'habitant (il faut compter 30€ pour 2 la chambre et nous avons toujours pris des apparts avec vue sur la mer quand s'était possible), fait pas mal de resto (et oui, c'est les vacances quand même) ce qui vient faire grimper la note. Une voiture nous attendait à notre arrivée à l'aéroport de zagreb, cela a couté 400€ pour 15 jours. Ca vaut le coup car il n'y a pas de problème pour faire passer la voiture sur les ferry et ce n'est pas trop cher... et surtout cela permet d'être indépendant. Le détail du budget c'est difficile à dire car on ne s'est pas privé !!!
J'espère que ce compte rendu vous plaira !!

Salut à tous,
Je me posais une question, je n'ai jamais vraiment préparé de rando complète dans des pays aussi lointain. J'aimerai également faire une rando intinérante en croatie ou irlande sur une dizaine de jours. Je ne sais pas encore exactement la formule que nous allons choisir : chambre d'hôtes, bivouac, hotels, mixte, rando pure, section en bus/voiture/bateau ou mixte. l'avantage de préparer soi même est qu'on fait exactement ce que l'on veut, mais je me demandais comment vous prépariez vos trips ? C'est pas évident, pour la france/belgique, c facile, carte IGN, sentiers GR ou autres. Mais en croatie, pas évident, je trouve pas vraiment de carte, comment choisir estimer un itinéraire, déniv/distances/etc., où loger, manger ca va encore, il y a tjs un truc. Mais c surtout le côté rando qui m'inquiète ? Comment avez vous préparé votre voyage en croatie ? partez vous completement à l'aventure puis on voit sur place ?
Merci d'avance.

Hi,
We’re planning to do the 4-day trek from Mestia to Ushguli without an agency. The descriptions mention that there are accommodations at each stop, but we can’t find any details about them. Has anyone got info or feedback on this route?
Thanks
Cat, Bruno.
Thanks
Cat, Bruno.
We're planning to trek in Peru and Bolivia and would love to find some local agencies.
If you know any, could you share details on prices and, of course, the names of the agencies?
Which trek would you recommend?

I'm heading out on a fully self-sufficient trek in Morocco (10 days) from Imilchil to Aghbalou.
Can I find screw-on gas canisters (Coleman, Primus) in Marrakech (any addresses?) or in villages between Imilchil and Aghbalou?
If not, are Butagaz canisters for camping gas (small 230g size) available?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hello, I’d like to embark on a little trip in my home country, Switzerland. I’ll start walking from La Cure, heading toward Le Noirmont first, then I’ll improvise my route—but it’ll probably follow the French border... at least as far as Lac de Joux.
I’ll decide day by day how much farther to go after that. My goal is to stay in nature as much as possible, wander around for as long as I can, and restock food in villages or towns along the way.
I’m thinking of mostly camping, but we’ll see if I end up in a hotel or another campsite depending on my route.
I’d love to reach La Chaux-de-Fonds on foot... maybe even Delémont. The whole thing should take about a week, give or take.
I’ll be bringing my dog, and I’m preparing for this as soon as I’m ready.
Any tips to make sure everything goes smoothly for us? Things I should know—or avoid? What about shepherds with their flocks of sheep? And isn’t hunting season open right now?
I’m not sure if what I’m planning is even doable, which is why I’m asking around.
This’ll be my first time doing something like this—wandering in nature *and* with a dog. I’m really excited for this adventure... and I need it. Thanks!

Hello,
We’re really keen on ecosystems and want to hike in "natural" ancient forests—not planted woods or areas heavily degraded by human activity. Travel guides (like Lonely Planet) don’t provide much info on this. Could you point us to the most interesting spots? Thanks in advance for your tips. We wish you happy holidays and a fantastic 2026, full of discoveries! Claire and Albert

Hi, this might not be the right section, but I’d like to know if it’s possible to start mountaineering with another person without necessarily hiring a guide. We’ve done quite a bit of hiking but not mountaineering—we’ll just do a half-day glacier course. After that, we were thinking of starting with La Grande Motte and the Pointe de la Traversière, which were recommended to us. Honestly, for things like roping up and knots, I’ll learn at home with lots of videos and a book.

I’d love to know if anyone has done treks in the Rwenzori Mountains and how much it costs on average, what the infrastructure is like, the landscapes, and safety in the area. Thanks so much! I’m really looking forward to your replies.
Hi there,
I’m looking for half-day hikes near Karakol (not Jety-Oguz, since I’ll be heading there separately—max 30 minutes’ drive to the trailhead).
I can find longer treks, but nothing for a short outing!
So, if you’ve got any ideas...
Thanks! :)

Hi everyone,
We’re leaving in 9 days for a two-week trip to Madeira, mainly to hike.
From my research, I’ve found that since last year, access to most trails—and systematically for the most popular ones—is now paid. You have to pay an access fee of 4.50 € per person per classified hike in 2026, and even 10.50 € for the most iconic hike: Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo. When paying, you also have to choose a day and a 30-minute time slot for your start time. Of course, this reservation is neither changeable nor refundable, even if the weather that day is terrible.
Personally, given the massive influx of tourists to the island in recent years, I don’t mind paying a fee to help maintain the trails. Similarly, setting a limit on the number of people who can hike them per day is certainly preferable to preserve this priceless heritage.
However, what’s much less fair is that in reality, most of the available spots are reserved: 1/ for Madeira residents (which is normal); 2/ for "economic operators" (meaning local tour operators). For example, if you’re a non-resident (independent tourist), no booking is possible for the Pico Arieiro hike for an early morning start before September! So, unfortunately, we’ll have to skip this hike. It’s the same issue for Ponta de São Lourenço, the 25 Fontes, Pico Ruivo... in short, all the most popular hikes. Oh well, we’ll skip those too!
So my question is: which hikes do you recommend where we won’t face the huge crowds that the others get? And where we can book the day before for the next day, taking the weather into account?
Finally, a quick accommodation question: we’ve booked the first week in Funchal, but I haven’t decided yet for the second week. Do you have any advice on where to stay in the south or north, preferably avoiding overly concrete-heavy and touristy spots?
Thanks in advance for your tips! 🙂

Hi there,
I’m reposting about the logistics for Samaria Gorge. I’d love to get recent info, especially about whether it’s possible to park my car in Omalos, do the hike, and then catch a bus back to my vehicle. In theory, it’s doable, but when you check the KTEL website, there aren’t any feasible schedules listed. If anyone has recently organized this with reliable, verified details, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
We’re flying from Montreal to Lyon this August to go hiking in the French Alps. We’ve rented a car and will be staying at campgrounds. We’re planning to do day hikes and want to stay a few days in one spot, do a few hikes, then move on to our next camping spot. Could you share your favorite spots or any recommendations for places to spend a few days with great hikes?
A few details: We arrive in early August and leave in early September. We’re looking for day hikes (or shorter), moderate difficulty, with a cumulative elevation gain of no more than 1000m, and of course, beautiful scenery! We’d prefer not to drive too much—maybe it’s best not to head too far south and deal with unnecessary heat? Along the same lines, if you know of any great campgrounds where we can start our hike directly without needing the car, we’d love to hear your suggestions!
Thanks! :-)

Hi there,
I’m planning to go hiking on this island and would like to know the best time to do it. I visited for a few days in November 2018—not for hiking but just to explore—and the weather wasn’t great, especially in the mountains. So, is a star-shaped itinerary doable if I rent a car and maybe use two different accommodations?
I’m not planning to join an organized group—just traveling with one other person and organizing things ourselves—unless you’d recommend a local agency or guide. Finally, even though I’ll be getting maps, a topo guide, and a GPS, I’d really appreciate your top hiking recommendations. Thanks so much for your tips!

Hi there,
I’m planning to do the Mercantour crossing following the Randoxygène route in mid-July. I’m used to hiking in the mountains, but I sometimes get vertigo, for example on ridges with drops on both sides. I wanted to check if there are any T4 or T3-T4 sections and find out if there are any very exposed passages—and if so, where—so I can plan an alternative route. Can anyone give me some info on this? Thanks!

hi there,
I’m planning a trip around Cap Corse and the AGRIATES in 2026, from May 8th to 15th (there are still 2 spots left, by the way! Just DM me if you're interested).
I’d love to know which hikes are worth prioritizing in the AGRIATES. We’ll be staying in SALECCIA for two days as our base—what should we focus on from there? A round trip to IGNHU beach? Any other suggestions? For Ostricano, I think it’s too far for a round trip... Thanks for your tips! Have a great day, Anie, Toulouse

Hi there,
I’d like to get some info about the GR10 Pyrenees traverse. I need help planning the daily stages and accommodations—my wife isn’t an experienced hiker but walks a lot, so I’d like to schedule shorter walking days and thus a longer overall trip in terms of number of days.
Could anyone give me some help and advice? Best regards,

Hi everyone!
New to this forum, I’m planning a pretty big project for 2028. I’m heading to Nepal to do a trek from Kathmandu all the way to Everest Base Camp (a cool 5,300 m 😄). This trek is a bit special because even though I’ll be part of a group, I’m going solo (so far, no problem—I’m used to it). But it’s my first real trek, and it’s also a humanitarian one: once I reach base camp, I’ll stay an extra week to help clean up the waste left by tens of thousands of climbers! Since I’m originally from South America, from two countries that share the Andes, I have a deep respect for mountains—they fascinate me. So Everest… it’s kind of the trip of a lifetime!
So, a little question for those who’ve done treks to Everest before… any tips for good mental preparation (I’m already working on the physical side)?
Thanks in advance for your advice! 🙂

Hello!
We’re spending a few days in Toraja country at the end of May. We’d love to do a day trek—taking our time—on a route that’s stunning in terms of scenery, but not a level 5 in difficulty!
Any suggestions you can share, please?
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I’d like to do the Mare a Mare Sud in May over 4 days. I’ve found quite a few places to stay along the route, but I’m stuck on the start and finish. I’ll be arriving by plane on Sunday evening and would like to start pretty early on Monday morning. Ideally, accommodation right at the trailhead (Alzu di Gallina) would be amazing, but I can’t find anything. Any tips? Also, for the transfer from Figari Airport to Porto Vecchio or Alzu di Gallina? At the end, I’d like to pick up a rental car—any advice on that too?
Thanks in advance!

I’m traveling solo by plane to Catania in May and plan to hike the northern side of Etna, starting from Linguaglossa where I’ll arrive by bus. After that, I’d love some info on how to get up to Piano Provenzana (shuttles or hitchhiking), since it seems there’s no public transport except in the summer. Can you sleep there in a free or cheap refuge, or camp? And how far up can you go without having to hire a guide? Thanks in advance. Bernard.
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Morocco in August and we’ll start with a stop in Chefchaouen (we’re driving).
My question: can anyone suggest a 5-to-7-day loop hiking route from Chefchaouen in Talassemtane Park, ideally passing by the God’s Bridge? Or a paper guidebook that covers a few options?
We prefer wild camping and guesthouses.
Thanks in advance
Hi there, for those who’ve been recently—is it possible to find other solo travelers in March on the island to share transport or room costs? It doesn’t seem easy to travel on a budget.
If you have any recommendations for simple lodgings or places with dorms, I’d love to hear them.
For those who’ve done multi-day treks while moving around: do you need to bring your own sleeping bag? I’d love to hear about itineraries you’ve done without a guide, just with a map and GPS.
Thanks, and have a great day!
Hi everyone!
We’re planning a 15-day road trip to Scotland this summer, specifically to explore and hike on Lewis and Harris—places we’ve never been before. We’ve visited other islands on previous road trips in Scotland (we usually go in April for a week). This would be our first time in Scotland in the summer and for 15 days. We’re looking at late August to early September.
I’m currently drafting the itinerary. We’d be crossing from Ullapool and were thinking of spending 3 nights on Harris and 4 nights on Lewis.
Does that sound balanced to you? Is it better to keep the same accommodation on Harris and the same on Lewis to explore the area? I’d love to hear about any past experiences you’ve had on these islands. Thanks!

Hi there, I’m trying to leave for 15 days very soon to São Vicente. I’m either looking to join an agency or figure things out on my own to go hiking on one of these islands or both. From what I’ve seen, it’s not easy to organize with local transport, so it gets expensive. Can I use the services of a small local agency? I’m looking for the simplest way to hike for several days. Also, how do you get from São Vicente to São Nicolau? Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Hi there,
I’ve been wanting to do this for several years, and this year’s the one. Next September, I’ll be trekking in Tusheti (Georgia), from Omalo to Shatili. Of course, I won’t be renting a vehicle that’d just sit unused. No problem getting to Pshaveli, but from there to Omalo, it’s a dirt road (still the case?) There must be some form of public transport since there are so many guesthouses, and not all travelers come in a 4x4. If any of you have been to Omalo, could you confirm that these shared transports exist and how often they run?

hi
we’re planning a trip to Yellowstone and hoping to do a three-day backcountry hike if we get a permit. if any of you have done this before, could you let me know if it’s possible to find water along the way? And if we can transport it, are we allowed to use a stove?
thanks for any tips!

Hello,
I’ll be in Nepal from March 6th to 29th (we’re flying into Kathmandu via Varanasi and leaving via Delhi).
I’m a bit confused about the regulations requiring a guide.
My wife and I (we’re 63 and 64) aren’t experienced trekkers—we’re more used to walking on terrain with very moderate elevation changes. I’m looking for fairly easy hikes, possibly day trips. Here are my questions: - Does the Poon Hill trek from Pokhara require a guide, or is it better to go through a local agency? (I’ve seen a lot of them offering 4-day packages) - I’d like to do a few multi-day hikes around Jomsom (Kagbeni, Mukitinath, Lupra, Marpha)... Do you need a guide for those, and can you find accommodations easily without booking in advance?
Last question—I’m really hesitant to lug around a sleeping bag or down jacket during our 6 weeks in India. Can you easily find these kinds of items at reasonable prices in Pokhara?
Thanks in advance for any tips you can share! Yann

Hello.
I’m a 56-year-old man who’s done several treks in Nepal and elsewhere. Also passionate about photography. I’m looking for one or more people to form a group for a trek in Nepal. The trek is the Annapurna and Manaslu circuit (24 days), including a stop at Tilicho Lake. I’ve got a great itinerary and the local company seems solid. The price is around $1600. I’ll be in Nepal from April 5 to May 12, 2026, so the trek would need to happen within those dates.
