A first long hike feels big until you split it into days. Pick a trail with huts, walk six hours a day and let the route do the planning for you.

## Getting there

Choose a well-marked hut-to-hut route close to public transport. You want to be able to leave on any day if the weather turns.

## Where to stay

Book the huts in advance and ask for half board: dinner and breakfast mean you only carry lunch and snacks.

## What I would do differently

I would walk the first day shorter. Your legs learn the rhythm on day two, not day one.
