Standing at around 3,000m tall, Mount Olympus is one of the most coveted destinations amongst active holidaymakers. So if you want to find yourself trekking on the highest mountain in Greece, Olympus should be high on your vacation to-do list. Once you've hiked the mountain, you can also make a detour for a bit of culture in historic Athens, or even pamper yourself on a relaxing stop at one of the Greek islands.
To see New Zealand's highest point at 3,725m above sea level, Mount Cook is the place to go. It lies on the South Island in Wellington and provides spectacular scenery for photography. Explore this region by hiking in the remarkable mountain range or go trekking in the Milford Track.
Make memories at the highest mountain on earth set in the great Himalayas region, at the border of Tibet and China. You may think this isn't an option, as a height of 8,800m is not easy to climb for the faint-hearted. However, the base camp is fairly accessible for many travellers. Hiking to the camp can take up to 10 days.
Stretching across 4,800km, the Rockies traverse from Canada through the western United States. Depending on the timing of your visit, the Rockies offer a plethora of different activities. Here, you can camp in the desert in summer, do an evening climb to stargaze, or go skiing all winter long, including through early spring. For a breath-taking view, ride to Banff Gondola at the summit of Sulphur Mountain.
