mountain trek

Alpine hiking journey

A mountain trek is a long, strenuous journey on foot through mountainous terrain, typically lasting multiple days and involving significant elevation changes.

Unlike a casual hike, a trek implies sustained effort, challenging conditions, and often remote wilderness: We spent two weeks on a mountain trek through the Himalayas.

The term suggests adventure and physical endurance rather than a leisurely walk.
