The trails less traveled
Some of the most exciting nature trails can be found in the coldest spots on the map.
If you look at a heat map it’s hard to miss the fact that some trails are more popular than others. But sometimes venturing beyond the crowds and familiar tracks is just the adventure you need.
With local insights from our ambassadors, we’ve mapped out a series of Outsider-approved Cold Trails across Europe. Whether you’re a hiker or a trail runner, these routes are definitely worth going out of your way for.

Skäckerfjällen, Sweden
Untouched, raw, and demanding—this trail spotted by Tom-Oliver Hedvall requires hard work but promises a closer encounter with nature and an awesome sense of freedom.
Located far from the main ski resort in Åre, Tom-Oliver first encountered this trail during the winter in a wilder part of the backcountry he loves. When the snow melted, he and his friend Jesper decided to go back and connect the dots.
“This trail is far from civilization so it gives you a feeling of being very close to nature. It was way more demanding than we first thought, so we really had to push ourselves to run the whole distance, but that’s what I love—to push my limits!”

Hochkarfelderkopf, Austria
A well-kept secret among locals like Susanne Kraft, this exposed and grassy trail brings you face-to-face with the mountain in a tough but satisfying up-and-down loop.
Susanne has been exploring this mountain trail since she was a kid. It’s located just above the valley where she grew up and is full of happy memories. For her, ascending the first 1,300 vertical meters and taking in the view below continues to be a special highlight of the experience.
“Hiking there always feels like coming home. I know every turn every uphill climb. On top, I just love sitting in the grass next to the cross looking down at the house where my parents still live. After finishing the loop, I normally visit my grandparents—and there is always cake and coffee waiting.”

This trail offers everything from steep sections to mellow interludes and stunning views—and never lets the mountains out of sight. Robert Robertson shows the way.
Robert grew up surrounded by Lofoten Islands’ mountains, and this particular trail journeys around his entire hometown of Stamsund. Located away from the main tourist areas, it offers views overlooking the local fishing industry. Robert says it’s beautiful, but not for the light-hearted.
“The trail is amazing, it’s got everything: steep sections, mellow sections, good views, and a decent trail. On our latest run/hike, we scored big on the weather with the clouds rolling in over the mountains around it. It felt like we were on top of the world.”

Mont Buet, France
Wild and technical, this ridge trail is a true hands-on-rock experience. François Montuori ran ahead to fill in some exciting parts that, up until now, were not visible on any map.
Francois doesn’t like simple trails. He prefers the rush of heights and the feel of storied rocks beneath his hands. This remote trail just beyond Chamonix fits his criteria for a true mountain adventure. Although he was already familiar with the area, this was François’ first time piecing together this largely unmarked route.
“Discovering this trail was quite an adventure. I wasn’t sure the traverse would be possible, so I waited for the perfect conditions and went for it. The original route I had in mind was longer, but it ended up being impassable— I had to escape and fly around a ridge in my glider. The final route is much safer and more doable. I hope other Outsiders will enjoy it as much as I did!”
