Via Alpina via the internet
Via Alpina, the project for a network of long-distance hiking trails, now features a new internet website at www.via-alpina.org . The Trails heading provides an opportunity to travel all 341 stages of the Via Alpina virtually, using interactive maps of different scales.
The description of the Trail includes information on levels of difficulty, walking times and profiles in both directions for each individual stage. Contact addresses and information on current conditions and accommodation availability can also be accessed.
Two new headings have also been posted: a picture gallery, to whet your appetite for the landscapes along the 5,000 km trail, and a "Travel Mate" contact service. Both features are currently under construction and will be available shortly. A team of hiking experts is also working on drawing up special packages for organised stays in various regions, which are also soon to be posted on the website.
