Have you ever heart about 26 Summits challenge? My friend told me about this initiative in early spring and I immediately decided to join. So, I believe you will do the same after my brief explanation.
Well, personally I like challenges, because they motivate you to do better. The mountains are a great symbol for overcoming issues, hard work, determination, and perseverance. These two words challenge and hiking are really a good match. 26 Summits campaign was launched for the first time previous year, when pandemic just started. The idea behind 26 Summits is to offer a hiking possibilities in each of 26 Swiss cantons and to bring the people in Switzerland closer.
The project has its own platform, which is user-friendly and intuitively understandable. The only issue which may confuse you is that the web-site doesn’t have an English version. But I created for you a small navigation tutorial, which I believe will help to find all necessary information.
Once you have created or confirmed your login, your journey begins at 26 Summits 2021 – not just geographically, but also virtually. For every summit you climb, you will receive an instant price as well as points in the virtual mountains of your 26 Summits profile.
On your adventurous journey you will cross the mystical forest, climb over the rotten suspension bridge, meet lovely marmots, maneuver yourself over the gruesome ridge and finally climb the memorial stone of the heroes.
Register at 26summits.ch and join a hiking challenge.
