Endurance and stamina are needed to secure the rewards on the GR20: horizon spanning vistas, sparkling lakes and dramatic rock faces. H - Himalaya Gokyo lake The Himalaya is on every trekkers bucket list, and there’s a good reason why: towering spires of snow and rock standing sentinel over azure lakes, prayer flags fluttering on the wind, and almost endless trails.

Truly spectacular, but you don't have to share. P - Patagonia Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia Patagonia is a raw, almost empty realm of unfettered beauty. Vast rolling grasslands are interrupted by the jagged, monochrome peaks of the Andes, and the skies burn with beautiful sunsets. Q - Queyras Trekking in the Queyras A forgotten corner of the Alps, the Queyras are a wild and wildly underrated. Alpine lakes, craggy summits perfect for scrambling and long deserted ridges: a bona fide treat for any serious walker. R - Rysy Group on the summit of Mount Rysy The highest mountain in Poland is a diva: Rysy is a tough, vertiginous scramble demands you earn the dramatic 360 degree panorama of more than 100 peaks, many lakes and into neighbouring Slovakia. S - Stok Kangri Admiring the panorama from the summit of Stok Kangri This mighty 6,000m beast is a colossal achievement: a remote trek past rock cathedrals, huge valleys and the final exposed scramble up the snow-covered ridge, armed with ice axes, to the summit. Can you take on Stok Kangri? T - Toubkal Peak of Mount Toubkal Step up to the challenge: Toubkal is your perfect first time summit. Start in dusky pink Berber villages, moving steadily upwards to this usually sunny summit – a tantalising taste of trekking glory. U - Ugljesin Peak Looking out from Ugljesin Peak in Sutjeska N.P Bosnia & Herzegovina may be over-looked but certainly not overrated: craggy limestone mountains and lush valleys, and Ugljesin is the perfect vantage point to survey the encircling panorama of peaks. V - Via Ferrata Via Ferrata Hikers with a head for heights should try Via Ferrata. Think serious scrambling clipped into harnesses. Follow WWII routes across the Dolomites, tackling iron ladders and precarious bridges. W - Wall of China Great Wall at Sunset Iconic, imposing, terrifying: the Great Wall of China is a monument to man’s ingenuity and ego. Trekking here is to tread upon history, from remote ruins to where it has been restored to glory. X - Xlendi Bay Gozo coastline, Xlendi Bay in the distance Xlendi Bay is the rest stop a walker's dreams are made of: an idyllic cove hugged by rugged cliffs and the Mediterranean Sea. The picturesque village is perfect to kick back with a drink or an ice cream in the sun. Y - Yellowstone Yellowstone National Park's Grand Prismatic Spring America’s first national park, Yellowstone dazzles and surprises: geysers, Grizzlies and glaciers at every turn, and no better way to traverse its scenic splendour than on foot, away from the day tripping crowds.
