ABOUT

Hi, I’m Kristin, thank you for visiting Let’s Trek It - my hub for all things adventure-related! Join me in the outdoors for thru-hikes, long-distance skiing, horse trekking, and climbing.

Click on the “Trails” and “Trekking Tips” tabs to browse new blogs and articles. The best way to stay updated is on social media!

I want Let’s Trek It to be both a research portal if you are planning an adventure of your own, but also a source of good trail stories if you’re looking for entertainment from the wilderness.

I do several treks a year - mostly hiking - some short and some (ultra) long. Many of my friends are fascinated by my outdoor thrills & spills, but it’s very hard to describe trail life to someone who has never walked a mile or 1000 in those boots. I hope these trail blogs will provide insight and some good laughs for anyone curious about thru-hiking.

Whether you are a first time backpacker or an experienced mountaineer, you are welcome to join me on my trekking adventures!

Kristin Thue

Last day of 28. “Everything in the world is held up by something other than itself.”🌹
Haute Route Day 3: A very early “nearo”, leaving the trail to visit old friends! “This day truly was a testament to the kindness and generous spirit of not just the Swiss, but of travellers. We hitched with a Swiss farmer to the ne
Day 2 on the Haute Route: A storm, a chamois, a glacier, a kombucha, a 1500m climb. Just a regular day in the Alps. Link in bio for the day blog!🇨🇭🏔️
The Norwegian weather was determined that I should not grow any freckles, until our very last day in the mountains. Turns out Brits can be pretty good cross country skiers. Turns out dad enjoys whiskey when there is another bloke present to drink it
Day 1 of the Haute Route blog is out!😁 “The Haute Route was a convenient choice for limited annual leave, given last year’s whopper, 500km on the GR11. But for the first time since the John Muir Trail in 2017, I wouldn’t be going
I am so excited to announce the launch of the new blog series: The 220 km Walker’s Haute Route in Switzerland! The WHR passes 10 out of the 12 highest peaks in the Alps, and is an Alps classic which will satisfy any hiker wanting the quintess
I’ve found myself recommending the GR11 trail to prosepctive thru-hikers on a lot of Facebook hiker forums lately. Why? Because I genuinely think it is the best thru-hike in Europe. The GR11 offers stunning mountain scenery, gemstone lakes, nea
