Alps VS Camino del Norte (lemm.ee)

Hey guys,

I need some advice. I'd like to hike for a month this summer. I'm just an average person.

Walking the Camino is easy, no risk, no planning, no experience needed. You just walk as much as you want each day.

In the alps I have to carefully plan each day because of my limited experience, hiking alone, weather, body limits and time restrictions.

Enjoying the alps is much more rewarding I guess but I don't think that I am physically able to hike one month in the alps. 1 or even 2 rest days per week and not too challenging routes.

Can someone recommend one over the other?

I want to agree with @[email protected] and supplement by saying going with something you can maximize learning from (Camino) can set you up to better succeed at things where you will need to maximize performance (Alps).

Thanks! That's an interesting take I keep in mind
