Hiking Trails Under 10 km in Alba

There are 24 hikes in Alba in our database that fit. They average 5.6 km.

That is 41 percent of the 59 routes we map in Alba. They are shorter than the local average, 5.6 km against 54.4 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 14 m (46 ft) against 818 m (2,684 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Half-day routes: long enough to feel like a proper walk, short enough to leave the afternoon free. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
