4 min


Whether you want adventure, relaxation, fun or something in between, the mountain is the ultimate treasure trove where you can gain new perspectives on the wonders of nature. With that in mind, we compiled several ways to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Set a Destination

Mountains provide priceless experience for bold adventurers. Aside from the fact that it’s picture-perfect and refreshing, it is also the perfect outdoor playground packed with opportunities for hiking, camping, skiing, climbing, and more.

Here’s why it’s important you choose a destination that you love to see. Don’t worry as well, there’s never a shortage of mountains to explore.

And if it is too far, remember some journey will always be worth the effort.

Plan Your Activity

Mountain adventure is easily one of the daring and invigorating trips in the travel market. If you’re one of the people who seek to do certain mountain activities, best take this into consideration when planning your travel. There’s no denying it either: Mountain offers multitudes of hair-raising and blood-tingling adventures out there, so get out of your comfort zone and make memories that will stay forever.

Go Trekking

Nothing beats a good old trekking. The euphoric feeling of traveling on foot on mountain trails has always been classic for every adventurer, and believe me, every hike offers a new experience. Plus, it is one of the best ways to connect with nature, where you can get your views of spellbinding rock cliffs, and a fascinating array of flora and fauna.

Remember to bring sturdy gears for the adventure. To start, think about how far you plan to hike. Carry a good hiking backpack packed with your necessities like food, water, map, compass, first-aid kit, multi-tool knife, and a flashlight. Wear your best hiking boots or shoes, too.

Lastly, pack spare clothes. You’ll never know when you need one.

TIP: As much as possible, don’t hike alone. No matter how prepared you are, there will always be a chance of getting lost or being injured. If it can’t be helped, let someone know exactly your plan, so they know where to start looking for you if you take a bad turn.

Try Mountain Biking

If you want a bolder choice of adventure, mountain biking is the best way to go. With this, you can cover more ground at a faster pace. It is indeed challenging but worth every effort. Of course, you have to know first some basic mountain biking techniques. This is different from road cycling it is much more difficult admittedly but it is not impossible to learn.

Next, bring a trusty and strong mountain bike with you. It varies depending on your skills and trails. This includes trail bikes, cross-country bikes, fat bikes, all-mountain bikes and park bikes. Remember to pack a helmet and repair kit.

Experience ATV Riding

ATV riding adds a different twist in the traditional mountain vacation. This popular activity is not as easy as maneuvering a bike or car. Quad riding needs extra precaution and skills.

But it is undeniably a good way to spice up your adventure. You get to access area unavailable via traditional transportation and enjoy it with fewer people around. Camping is usually a part of the experience, including the required pit stops to refuel and resupply.

You can rent vehicles in your destination or better yet, bring your own. For an epic adventure through the mountains, consider buying or getting an ATV loan. Crediful suggests financing it through a personal loan, retailer financing or using a credit card.

Know the Rush of Climbing

If ATV riding and mountain biking are not exciting enough for you, consider mountaineering and climbing. However, learn first before doing so. Invest as well in durable ropes, ice axes, crampons and other equipment. Scaling a cliff above a scenic blue coastline is definitely exhilarating and literally breathtaking.

Venture Into the Snow With Skiing

Snow and mountain is always a good combination for a one-of-a-kind winter adventure as long as you don’t mind colder weather. From skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing to sleigh rides, this got to be one of the most incredible feelings on earth. If you want to give it a try, you can rent the ski and boots.

Get started by taking an introductory lesson of skiing. Ski resorts usually offer this, so ask them beforehand. Of course, make the most of YouTube and watch skiing tutorial to help you get ready.

Soar To the Sky With Paragliding

For the gutsy adventurers out there, take your trip to the next level by doing paragliding. Most mountains destinations allow this kind of excursion, but this is best done by a team.

However, being airborne means you must take steps to ensure your safety. For starters, book a tandem flight, where a professional will show you the ropes of flying through the air hundreds or thousands of meters above the ground.

Plus, paragliding doesn’t come cheap either. Equipment and certification can be costly in some areas, but in the end, once you take off to the sky, you will be rewarded with a captivating, panoramic bird’s-eye view of the mountains and sea.

Try Rafting and Kayaking

If you’re going to a mountain range with rivers around, take the chances and try rafting and kayaking. From serene long stretches to heart-pounding river races, it is not for the fainthearted. You have to be experienced in paddling and swimming depending on the nature of the water involved.

Get in Shape

Mountain adventures require strength and balance. To help you enjoy most of your activities and avoid injury, exercise beforehand. Your routine can differ, depending on your itinerary. In general, it is crucial you build muscles on your knees and ankles. Improving your core strength is also important for an added boost.

Wear Nice and Functional Outdoor Clothing

Outdoor clothing can be both functional and fashionable. Although looking good shouldn’t be your top priority, dressing up can make all the difference when you’re on a trip, especially in your Instagram posts.

Take Pictures

As mentioned above, having a great fashion sense even outdoors can jazz up your Instagram game, and even if you’re not doing it for the sake of the gram, capturing your adventure with a camera can help you remember these precious memories in the future.
