Eight Paths, One Drive

From extreme distances spanning thousands of kilometres to pilgrimage routes shaped by centuries of tradition, from radical fresh starts to stories that connect cultures: our Long Distance Hiking Team stands for all kinds of different paths – yet they're all driven by the same thing. Each of them took that first step, and shares their experience with a growing community, inspiring others to do the same.
