Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Where would hike if you could go any place in the world?

Hi all,

I am a long time lurker, and finally decided to make an account. I have been thinking about making a trip in the next year or two, so I am trying to narrow down some places. I saw on a thread a while back about going to western China, and that has really stuck in my head since it would be more in my budget.

I saw Salewa is doing a lot of contests where they are taking 200 people on trips http://newsdailynow.com/2015/11/11/salewa/ Those places have really peaked my interest as well. I have entered, and hopefully have a shot at it. Does anyone have experience at any of the places that they're offering?

I look forward to hearing your responses, and would love any first hand feedback.

thanks!

Larry,
I don't have firsthand experience but a friend has climbed the Eiger in Grindelwald and you can see the twinkle in his eyes when he talks about the Swiss mountains. He describes the Swiss mountains and Chamonix in particular as an alpine version of Yosemite Valley that attracts climbers from all over the world. I don't think you can go wrong with a free trip over there. It seems there are endless opportunities and only your personal ability and technical knowledge could hold you back.

I did a non-technical trek in Nepal a few years ago. Felt like a dream, I can understand why it is tied to Shangri-La.
