### 🧭 Hiking Difficulty Rating System (1–10 International Scale)
To help you choose hikes suited to your experience and fitness, Alpine Trekkers follows a globally aligned 10-level system — from easy walks to extreme alpine adventures:
1–2: Easy (Beginners)
Gentle terrain, well-marked paths, minimal elevation gain (up to 300 m). Perfect for beginners or relaxed hikes.
3–4: Moderate (Active Hikers)
Some uphill sections, uneven surfaces, and moderate altitude gain (300–700 m). Suitable for those with average fitness.
5–6: Challenging (Experienced Hikers)
Longer distances, steep climbs, or rough trails (700–1,200 m elevation gain). Good endurance required.
7–8: Difficult (Advanced Level)
Demanding routes with sustained climbs, technical terrain, or high altitude (1,200–2,000 m gain). Suitable for fit and skilled hikers.
9–10: Very Difficult / Expert (Alpine / Mountaineering Level)
Extremely strenuous hikes with severe elevation gain, exposure, or alpine terrain. May require rope, crampons, or scrambling skills. For expert mountaineers only.
