Detailed information about the Via Alpina can be found at the Via Alpina
website here.
From the Via
Alpina website:
Along 5 international trails, through 8 countries
there are 342 stages and over 5000km between 0 to 3000m above sea level that
open before you to invite you to discover the natural and cultural heritage
of the Alps on foot.
The Alps: the largest natural space in Europe,
cradle of mountaineering and refuge for unique species of flora and fauna;
but also the home of nearly 14 million inhabitants, rich in tradition and
for centuries scene of cultural exchanges. The Via Alpina is an innovative
European project around which private and public players from the eight
Alpine countries have grouped together since 2000 to develop their heritage
and to exchange experiences across their borders.
All along the
clearly marked paths you will find the Via Alpina logo, welcoming stop off
points to eat and stay, organized walks or other initiatives in several
places to help you in your discovery: all the ingredients are there for you
to organize your trip for a weekend, a week or a whole summer…
The
trails are not technically difficult and are accessible to all walkers (with
the exception of snowy periods).
