A definition of long-distance hiking
Accommodation, equipment and food for long-distance hiking
As diverse and unique as the variety of long-distance hiking trails are, so too are the circumstances under which you may experience your adventure. Everything starts with the consideration of where you want to stay overnight.
The easiest way to find a place to stay overnight is to carry it with you in the form of a tent. A tent offers the greatest possible flexibility in terms of where and when you want to spend the night - but camping with a tent is not permitted everywhere.
Alternatively, staying overnight in huts, hotels, guesthouses or private accommodation is also possible. You can start your new hiking day well rested after a comfortable nights sleep and rejuvenated with a warm hearty breakfast. However, this type of accommodation is also considerably more expensive and spontaneous changes of plan are made more difficult by varying booking policies.
Your choice of accommodation will determine what necessities you will need to take with you in your luggage. For tours from hut to hut up to 8 kg backpack weight is normal, for self-sufficient tours it can be up to 20 kg including a tent, stove and food.
