Do you like to go on adventures over the hills and far away for days or even weeks carrying only your backpack? The autonomy to manage your day as well as your night amidst nature?
If yes, then you're already a Trekker!
Discover what Trekking really is. What are the rules, the benefits and the different types of practice?
A lot of times, we associate Trekking with Hiking but it's a little different.
The word "trek" is an ancient Afrikaans word which means "migration." Today its usage is to describe the activity of hiking, walking in varied environments ranging from mountains to deserts to even urban places.
Trekking really means to leave your home for several days with your equipment on your back and sleep in a tent for shelter. You might wonder, why would someone do that? What is the point of struggling to get all the way to the top of the mountain, carrying a heavy load?
We can share multiple testimonies and experiences of other people but you'll understand why only when you experience the freedom and feeling yourself.
People trek to get away from the constraints of everyday life to find the rhythm of nature.
But to make the most of your expedition, you have to prepare it! Hiking several days or weeks with all your equipment on the back is not something that can be improvised. Follow the golden rules;
The golden rule of trekking: do not leave traces in your path.
Plan to leave with all your garbage (or even pick up those lying around the trails you are traveling).
When you're trekking, it's a moment of communion with nature. There's no other better way to de-stress and get rid of everyday worries.
A Trek involves a lot of hiking and walking which is an endurance sport that solicits the whole body without weighing on the joints. (If your bag is very loaded, we strongly recommend you to opt for poles).
Man or woman, young or old, trekking is a sport for everyone! With that said, in Forclaz we've identified different trekking practices:
