CICERONE Guidebooks collaboration

I’m delighted to offer my readers a 15% discount code on all the fabulous guidebooks from the world-leading Cicerone Press. Use the code LETSTREKIT15 at checkout.

I have used their guidebooks myself on nearly all my hikes and highly recommend them as an essential planning and map resource for hikers. With over 400 guides to the great and small treks of the world - also covering sports like mountaineering and cycling - Cicerone has something for every adventurer.

They have just updated their GR11 guidebook, the essential companion to one of Europe’s most beautiful long-distance trails. Read my GR11 blogs here!

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
