Slow travel and long distance hikes: how to embrace the new outdoor travel trends

Jul 13, 2022 • 8 min read

A thru-hiker connects with the community along the Trans Bhutan Trail © Trans Bhutan Trail

Hiking offers adventurers a low-cost way to explore. One of the prevailing trends in travel this year is the continued surge in hiking and outdoor recreation . Coupled with beautiful scenery and friendly trail neighbors, it’s a fantastic way to vacation.

As gear improves and new trails open, it’s now even easier to spend long periods of time hiking all over the world. But what's new in hiking this season? Here's all you need to know from new trails, to the latest hiking gear and classic trails no one should miss. 

8 of the world's most epic hikes   

New long-distance trails for 2022

As more people head to the trails, new routes are being opened to accommodate trekkers and provide access to natural areas across the globe.

Appalachian High Route : a new way to hike the highest peaks in the Southeast

If you’re looking for a seemingly endless mountainscape, thick forests and impressive biodiversity, head to the peaks of the Southeast on the new Appalachian High Route. Envisioned by famed speed hiker Jennifer Pharr Davis and Jake Blood, co-founder of the North Carolina High Peaks Trails, the new 343-mile loop connects a series of pre-existing trails in the region for a multi-day hike through the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Tennesse .

Thru-Hike Armenia: hike the length of Armenia on the Transcaucasian Trail

A new section of the Trans Caucasian Trail offers hikers a 513-mile trekking option through Armenia. Traversing the length of Armenia, the trail passes through unique terrain from volcanic mountains to rolling green hills. Along with the natural resources, hikers will also find archeological sites, ancient monasteries and remote villages along the way.

Montana Trail 406: From the American Prairie Reserve to Glacier National Park

A new 1662-mile route traverses Montana’s distinct terrain. Connecting a series of previously established trails like the Continental Divide Trail , off-roading trails and roads, the Montana Trail 406 offers a new way for hikers to see the best parts of the state.

The trail connects well-known areas like Glacier National Park and the American Prairie Reserve with secluded hot springs, a historic ghost town and less visited National Forests across the state.

Two incredible itineraries to explore Montana’s Glacier National Park

From the Jura Mountains to the Alps, the new ViaBerna trail shows off Switzerland’s natural beauty 

Discover alpine lakes, picturesque village and dense forests hiking 186 miles across Switzerland . This new trail offers a physically challenging way to not only experience the country’s dramatic landscapes, but also a slew of cultural sites from castles to medieval villages.

The Baltic Trails : Long-distance hiking in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

The Baltic Trails offer two new gorgeous long-distance hiking routes in Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania . 

The two trails are The Baltic Coastal Trail , an 882-mile trek, and the Forest Trail , which spans over 1330 miles. While both traverse all three countries and pass through multiple Unesco World Heritage sites the topography is markedly different. Head to the Baltic Coastal Trail for maximum time alongside the radiantly blue waters of the Baltic Sea or head to the Forest Trail for more greenery and sweeping forest views.

Trends in Long Distance Hiking Gear

We spoke with long-distance hiking expert, Tyler “Mac” Fox of Halfway Anywhere and he shared three gear trends he’s been seeing this year in the thru-hiking community. 

How to pack like a pro for a backpacking trip in 2022

Sunhoodies : Wearing long sleeves in the summer can actually keep you cool 

If you’ve been out on the trail this summer, you’ve probably noticed an impressive amount of hikers wearing long sleeves. This year, the sunhoody has taken over the trail as the best top to wear during the warmer season. These long sleeve shirts are crafted with UV protection in mind and offer a lightweight and breathable option that covers exposed skin from the sun.

No, you shouldn't stack rocks on your next hike. Here's why.

Fanny packs: The easiest way or easy to grab essentials while you hike 

Hip pack, waist pack or fanny pack - whatever the name - this is the newly-cool-again bag that every thru-hiker seems to be wearing on the trail. Lightweight construction and the ability to wear the pack facing forward keep it comfortable while also wearing a backpack. The true utility of these fanny packs while hiking is the ease of grabbing a snack, your water filter or a cell phone for photos.  

I walked the Portuguese Way of the Camino de Santiago. Here's what it was like

Materials over brand names

Long have brand names been a driving force in gear selection for long-distance hikers. Yet, as designs and materials for hiking gear advance at an accelerated pace, discerning hikers are focused more on the materials than the name of the company making the product. The result is a cottage industry that has popped up specializing in niche gear trends such as ELP Ultra backpacks or innovations in insulating layers.

Revisiting classic trails 

It’s not just new trails that are opening but “old” trails that are finding new life this year. 

The Great Walks: The Best Way to Experience New Zealand

New Zealand reopening to international tourism means the Great Walks are finally within reach for non-locals . These famed walks offer hikers miles of wilderness trails to meander through the country’s best landscape. Choose from one of the 10 Great Walks to explore the mountains, beaches or forest scenery of the country.

The Appalachian Trail is a classic American trail that continues to gain popularity

The 2194-mile-long trail stretching from Georgia to Maine is one of three long-distance hikes that are considered the “Triple Crown” of US long-distance hiking. This year, the trail’s popularity continues to surge with a 10% increase in self-reported thru-hikers as of June this year. The multi-month journey is increasingly becoming a bucket list goal of distance hikers who want to experience the varied landscapes, local towns and terrain of the East Coast.

How one first-time hiker conquered the Appalachian Trail

The Trans Bhutan Trail: an ancient route is reimagined as a hiking trail

The 250-mile Trans Bhutan Trail is officially opening for international visitors this September. The route is an ancient trail that was used for commerce, travel and pilgrimages until its closure in the 1960s. Reopening the route for recreation means adventurers will get to experience Bhutan’s natural treasures by foot - from sweeping Himalaya views to dense, verdant forests. Walking from the country’s border with Tibet to its border with India is also an opportunity to connect with the country’s history and culture as over 400 historic, cultural and sacred sites dot the landscape.

In Bhutan a historic Himalayan route opens to hikers for the first time in 60 years

Trails to keep your eyes on 

As long-distance hiking continues to gain popularity, new routes and trails are being developed across the world. These four routes in particular are in various stages of scouting, design and building.

Zagros Mountain Trail: Long-distance hiking in Kurdistan

There’s never been a route in Iraqi Kurdistan dedicated to long-distance hiking before. The new 137-mile Zagros Mountain Trail through Kurdistan will utilize historic pilgrimage routes, pass remote mountain villages and weave past caves, rivers and mountainsides. When completed, it will be one of the most unique ways to explore the region.

Lost Sierra Route

A new network of trails in California  – the Lost Sierra Route  – aims to connect wilderness to local mountain towns. The 600-mile trail will snake its way through dense forests, wide open basins surrounded by 10,000+ foot peaks and around 15 towns in the region. While it could take years to complete the entire trail, sections are scheduled to begin to open as early as next year.

Tokpegola Heritage Trail: Connecting trekking to community in Nepal 

A new heritage trail is being developed along the Tokpegola region in Nepal . The 14-day route brings trekkers to over 60 high-altitude lakes in a gorgeous alpine wetland ecosystem. “The route’s aim is to align ecotourism opportunities with Indigenous practices along the wild landscape so that local community can champion sustainable tourism in the region” notes, Jason Shah, a sustainable tourism consultant who has collaborated with local organization Dhokpya Learning Grounds to identify homestays and camp-stops for the entire 14-day trek.

Thru-hiking along the Camino Real: A new long-distance trail in Mexico

Zelzin Aketzalli is a thru-hiker on a mission to establish Mexico’s first long-distance hiking trail. She’s currently in the research process of creating a route that follows the historic Camino Real through Baja California.  Once complete the route will traverse 684 miles along the historic route through sandy desert and past old mission sites and the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific.

Gathering the global tourism community and developing concrete actions, UNWTO has led tourism’s response with the vision of not only restarting, but doing so in a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable way.

January - March

As global tourism faced up to a second year of unprecedented crisis , UNWTO began 2021 by counting the cost so far . At the same time, however, the emergence of vaccines brought hope . The Global Tourism Crisis Committee met to explore what this meant for safe travel and the restart of tourism, while the announcement of the winners of the UNWTO Global Start-up Competition recognized the role culture and creativity will play in tourism’s restart and recovery .  

April - June

Collaboration and innovation were the focusat the start of the second quarter. UNWTO partnered with IATA on a new Destination Tracker to give both tourists and destinations clear, impartial and trusted advice. And a new Start-up Competition was launched to find the best ideas for accelerating rural development through tourism. In May, the launch of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO generated significant interest from Members in every global region. 

July - September

As destinations in Europe welcomed tourists back for the peak summer season, UNWTO highlighted the role of  digital solutions for the safe restart of the sector. But UNWTO also looked ahead, to a more sustainable future , working with key partners to  reduce plastic waste and consumption across every part of the sector. Together, we celebrated World Tourism Day around the theme of Tourism for Inclusive Growth, a message of solidarity and determination that was echoed on a global scale.

October - December

The final quarter of 2021 began with cautious optimism as UNWTO’s Barometer showed signs of improvement in tourist arrival numbers during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. A new partnership with Netflix will bring the message of tourism as a driver of opportunity to a massive global audience, while in November, UNWTO was tourism’s voice at COP26 and signatories to the landmark Glasgow Declaration keep growing. Finally, against the backdrop of the UNWTO General Assembly , the programme of work for the coming biennium was approved and 77% of Members voted to secure a second mandate for the Secretary-General from 2022-2025.

Growing and Moving Forward

UNWTO brings together political leaders from across the globe to deliver a strong, coordinated response. Governments, destinations, fellow UN agencies and international organizations met at key international events joining efforts to rethink tourism. Institutional coordination has proven crucial to find the solutions that build a smarter, greener and safer tourism.

Leaving Nobody Behind

The pledge to ‘ leave nobody behind ’ means nobody should miss out : Not now as we support the sector in the face of crisis, and not in the future as tourism starts again. Tourism is a proven driver of equality and opportunity. And that’s why we turn words into actions, delivering guidelines and action plans , to ensure everyone can enjoy the opportunities tourism brings.

A Shared Vision

Advancing the transformation of the tourism sector , partnerships are the only way forward. In 2021, UNWTO signed agreements with international organizations and the private sector to step our vision for the future of tourism: innovation , education , sustainability , green investment , rural development.

World Tourism Barometer: September 2022

UNWTO updates World Tourism Barometer and reports international tourism back to 60% of pre-pandemic levels from January to July 2022

Below are excerpts from the September 2022 release of the UNWTO Tourism Barometer :

• The steady recovery reflects strong pent-up demand for international travel, especially in the months of June and July which are part of the Northern Hemisphere summer season. The easing or lifting of travel restrictions in an increasing number of countries also contributed to boost results.
• International tourist arrivals almost tripled (+172%) in January-July 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Numbers climbed from -64% in January 2022 (versus 2019) to -28% in July, the strongest month since the start of the pandemic.
• Asia and the Pacific (+165%) saw arrivals more than double in the first seven months of 2022, though they remained 86% below 2019 levels.
• The ongoing recovery can also be seen in outbound tourism spending from major source markets. Expenditure from France was at -12% in January-July 2022 compared to 2019 while spending from Germany stood at -14%. International tourism spending remained at -10% in Belgium, -23% in Italy and -26% in the United States.
• The uncertain economic environment seems to have reversed prospects for a return to pre-pandemic levels in the near term. 61% of UNWTO Panel of Experts now see a potential return of international arrivals to 2019 levels in 2024 or later while those indicating a return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 has diminished (27%) compared to the May survey (48%).

TOURISM TRENDS 2022

11 Aug TOURISM TRENDS 2022

The situation for tourism remains rather unusual as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The crisis has marked a significant change for everyone, and above all for tourism, one of sectors hit hardest by the virus. 2020 was the year in which international tourism came to a near-complete standstill, and the only alternatives were domestic and local tourism.

2021 has seen some improvements, but only in a very subtle way as restrictions are still in place and many countries keep their borders fully or partially closed.

It is difficult to make an estimate for 2022 as it is not known how the pandemic will evolve. However, it is possible to talk about the new tourism trends that are likely to emerge over the coming year: – International travel with restrictions still maintained by both destinations and airlines in order to offer 100% security to the consumer.

– Reinforcement of COVID-19 testing; two years after the pandemic, COVID testing will still be in place as a preventive measure. – Conscious travel will be advocated. Travel to more distant destinations, but with prolonged durations of stay, as consumers look to enjoy as much of each place they visit as possible. – Green travel. Climate change is a problem that is present and growing. Consumers now are much more responsible and aware of the reality they live in on daily basis.

– A new trend is the “ed-ventures”. It is about combining education and holidays for the youngest members of the family. While adults may need to telework or attend meetings, their children can be doing workshops and learning in a playful way.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.
