#1 day hike – Harder Ridge, Switzerland
One of our top 10 day hikes in the world.
Why?
24km total … about 18km on a sharp ridge! Wow!
- Yes, this is our pick for the very best day hike on Earth
- Brienz to Interlaken Brienz Rothorn Railway up to the start
- take the funicular from Harderkulm (Harder Kulm) down to Harderkulm Station in Interlaken
- logistics are much more difficult in the opposite direction. We highly recommend hikers start in Brienz
- 10 hours. Physically and psychologically challenging.
- no water available. Carry all you need.
- not an official trail, but it’s easy to follow in good visibility
- about 1500m above the lake
- permits not required
- it’s popular with trail runners who do about 35km entirely on foot. They start at either end.
- also known as Hardergrat (… grat is ridge in German)
World → Europe → Alps → Switzerland → Harder Ridge

Chezwick – FASTEST Great Western Loop
Nick “Chezwick” Gagnon.
Thirteen pairs of hiking boots, 17 pairs of socks, and five headlamps. Nine U.S. states, six national parks, and 25 backpacker hostels. Approximately 15 million steps and 6,875.5 total miles.
These dizzying metrics come from hiker Nick Gagnon’s recent completion of the Great Western Loop, a massive thru-hike that links together sections of the Pacific Crest, Pacific Northwest, Continental Divide, Grand Enchantment, and Arizona trails in a nearly 7,000-mile circle.
Nobody knows how many hikers have completed the route, but only two others have documented their successful journeys: backpacker Jeff Garmire in 2018 and guide Andrew Skurka in 2007.
Garmier completed it in 208 days and 15 hours, while Skurka finished it in 213 days and six hours. …
