Best mountain parks to visit worldwide
Mountain parks are the largest group in the catalogue and the most varied: the Himalaya of Sagarmatha and Langtang, where a visit is a trek of a week or more; the Rockies of Banff, Jasper and Grand Teton, seen mostly from a road and a string of short trails; the Alps and Pyrenees, with their huts and cable cars; and hills small enough for a day out of a city, such as Sintra-Cascais beside Lisbon, Tijuca above Rio or Bukhansan on the Seoul metro.
