Climbing the Alps is typically seen as a very difficult thing, but it doesn’t have to be. There are smaller mountains in the Alps that you can climb and the experience will give you a wonderful story to tell. Here are the easiest climbs.
Gran Paradiso
Climbing Gran Paradiso in Italy takes two days, but the view from the top is very worth it. Once you’re up, you get to see the beautiful national park that surrounds the mountain.
Breithorn
Breithorn mountain gets the most climbers in Switzerland every year. That’s because you can reach the summit in only a few hours, which makes it easily approachable for many different people, even families.
Allalinhorn
Also located in Swiss, Allalinhorn is another of the easier climbs. After a lift takes you up, you only need to climb 500 more meters to the top. What makes this route a bit challenging is the glacier over which you walk.
Aiguille du Tour
Aiguille du Tour can be reached from the Swiss side or the French side. The two routes are pretty similar so it doesn’t matter which one you take. The ascent lasts two days so you can go slowly and enjoy the climb.
