You crave adventure. You lust excitement. You laugh in the face of danger. You fear nothing. If this sounds like you, we’ve compiled a list of your liking. The riskiest hikes from around the world inspired the by most extreme adventurers. A thrill-seekers paradise, a wimp’s demise.

Our top picks, all via ferratas, are equipped with fixed cables, stemples, ladders and bridges. While these aids may seem comforting, these trails are no joke to the daring survivors.
