The trails whose Wikipedia articles people read most, in every language, October 2025 to September 2026 (Wikimedia's page view data). It measures interest in a trail, not how many hike it; a trail without an article isn't ranked.

Key figures
Length, ascent and descent, difficulty, days, distance per day, the season and the main landscape.
Location
Start and finish, the nearest main station and airports with the road distance, and the trail's waymark.
Map
The route on an OpenStreetMap map, stage by stage, with approaches and variants.
Difficulty
Terrain, climate and the length of the days, each rated Easy to Hard by the same rule on every trail.
Climate
Day and night temperatures, wet days, snow and daylight by month, low down and up high.
Stages
Every official stage with distance, ascent, descent, elevation and walking time; our estimates marked where a source gives none.
Terrain
The elevation profile coloured by its steepness, the ground underfoot beneath it, and the tree line where the trail climbs above it.
Landscape
Forest, open hills, moss, rock or snow: what the trail passes through, and where.
Sleeping
Huts, campsites, hostels and rooms along the way, and whether wild camping is allowed.
Water
Drinking water, refills and springs along the route, and the longest stretch without.

Built on open data

Trail figures often differ from one source to the next. We never pick one quietly: every number names its source, our own estimates are marked ≈, and every trail's figures are checked against a second, independent source. Each trail page lists its sources with their licences.

Trail operators: Official stages, distances, times, seasons, waymarks and rules
Second sources: Wikipedia, regions, tourism boards and trail portals: every trail checked against one
OpenStreetMap: Route, surfaces, water points, travel hubs and the map, its relief from AWS Terrain Tiles
Copernicus DEM: Elevation profile and steepness, 30 m terrain model
ESA WorldCover: Landscape along the route, 10 m satellite land cover
ERA5 (Open-Meteo): Climate and wind by month, 30 years of weather
OSRM: Road distances from the travel hubs to the start
