Bucket-list mountains you can climb in ONE day

No matter which route you take, you’ll find something amazing to look at while you get your heart rate up. The views over Edinburgh from the steep Salisbury Crags are unparalleled, and as you ascend, they only get more spectacular.

This 12,388 feet (3,766m) monolith stands about 60 miles (97km) away from Tokyo. It’s possible to scale in as little as eight hours (return), if you set out from the Fuji-Subaru Line Fifth bus station.

Fuji-san, as it is commonly known in Japanese, is integral to Japanese identity. Climbing its rocky slopes will allow you to learn more about the country’s culture. Look out for the torii gate on the mountaintop

Towering over Yosemite National Park, Half Dome is a sheer slab of granite rising 4,737 feet (1,443m) over the wooded Yosemite Valley – and more than 8,844 feet (2,695m) above sea level.

Treating you to jaw-dropping panoramas over the heart of the American West, climbing Half Dome is an adventure you won’t forget. It’s not for the faint of heart, though, as the ascent is strenuous

One of the highest mountains in Morocco’s Anti-Atlas region at 7,740 feet (2,359m), Jebel el Kest is a not-too-tricky scramble, but finding the little-trodden path to the summit can be difficult without a knowledgeable local guide.

At nearly 7,000 feet (2,133m) above sea level, Hvannadalshnúkur is Iceland’s highest point. It’s part of an active volcano complex and sits high above the Vatnajökull glacier, the largest in Iceland.
