Origin and history of trekking
Curiously, the term trekking was not born in the context of walking and mountain tourism. Trekking derives from the English to trek (in its meaning of “to make a long journey”, “to migrate”) and was referred to the Dutch colonists forced to leave South Africa following the English invasion in the 19th century. To escape they used paths and rough and bumpy, which forced them to move slowly. From here, the meaning then evolved to the one we know today.

The development of mountain tourism took place in the last century and at the beginning it was reserved only for the nobles, who could enjoy stays in the most beautiful high-altitude areas. Thriving towns were built with every comfort, from luxurious villas to spas. Hence the need to have a network of well-marked and passable paths, which would satisfy the demanding wealthy tourists coming from the cities. Today, fortunately, the mountains are within everyone’s reach and trekking is a sport that can be undertaken with the use of cheap equipment.
