Friendly Peaks Philosophy
We live in weird times...
Climbing mountains seems to happen first and foremost for the selfie opportunities.
We go on ever more extreme hikes.
Driven by the need arising from constant comparison to others.
Sometimes, this means we waste time and precious moments.
But often enough, the consequences can be more dire.
Not everybody makes it. People die. On mountains. In vain. For selfies and awards.
And we leave mountains destroyed and littered with plastic bottles.
Here at Friendly Peaks, we have a different philosophy.
We want affordable and accessible hiking trails and mountain summits.
We enjoy the hike in itself and the community with other hikers.
We admire nature in its different forms.
And we want to keep the mountains clean instead of adding to pollution.
In other words, you won't find Mount Everest on this list, but you will find some beautiful hiking routes!
