More and more holidaymakers are happy to swap the beach and bathing suits for hiking boots and functional clothing and set out to conquer high peaks. If you don't want to miss out on a certain amount of luxury, look for suitable glamping accommodation in the mountains . Below you will find out what else is needed to enjoy the perfect glamping hiking holiday .
Tip 1: Plan your vacation time and region carefully
Hiking holidays are particularly popular with many people in spring and autumn, as these are the times when the outside temperatures are most pleasant for hiking. Destinations are sometimes fully booked long in advance, so it's better to think about where you're going sooner rather than too late.
By the way, you are spoiled for choice when choosing the region, because almost every mountain range has its own charm and tempts you with great highlights. Whether leisurely hiking in the low mountain ranges or more challenging tours through the high mountains : a hiking holiday has something to offer for every taste and every level of difficulty.
Tip 2: The right clothing for a glamping hiking holiday
In the evening you can curl up comfortably in your glamping accommodation , but during the day on a hiking tour you are exposed to the weather conditions. Accordingly, you should pay attention to the right clothing. Comfortable hiking shoes are the basis for this, after all, you'll be walking in them all day long. It's best to break them in properly beforehand so that you don't get blisters and possibly have to cancel a tour. Rain gear should also be in your backpack, because the weather can suddenly change, especially in the mountains, even though there was still bright sunshine.
Suitable functional clothing is also important on a hiking holiday. In the best case, this consists of a lower and an upper layer. Ideally, you should choose functional underwear for the bottom layer, as this can absorb sweat and wick it away again. You can find out exactly how this principle works in the article “Functional underwear – what does it do and when should you wear it?” . You should also choose functional clothing for the second layer of your hiking clothing because it is breathable. There's nothing worse than being soaked in sweat after a mountain climb and then not being able to dry yourself afterwards.

When the mountains call with their impressive panoramas and blooming alpine meadows, would you like to start running straight away? While this is a good idea, you should take it slowly. Some people make the mistake of planning a long and difficult tour on the first day of their vacation; after all, the energy is still fresh and the strength is still great.
But be careful, because if you go too fast, your muscles may be so sore the next day that you won't be able to go on another tour. Finally, you should not forget that hiking requires unusual movements if you only do this activity once a year on vacation. So treat yourself to taking it slow on your hiking holiday so you can get used to the mountain air and the new exertion. This means your body and mind can adapt optimally.
