Mount Sinai, Egypt (7,496ft/2,285m)

Traditionally known as Jabal Musa, Mount Sinai is one of the Earth's most mysterious mountains. An otherworldly Mars-like landscape, the mountain is located in the Sinai Peninsula and is thought to be the biblical Mount Sinai. One of the most sacred locations in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions, this is the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments in the Bible.

Mount Hua, Qin Mountains, China (7,086ft/2,160m)

Also known as Huashan, Mount Hua is one of the five sacred Taoist mountains in China. It's long been a place of pilgrimage, however, it's also known for offering one of the world's deadliest hikes. A network of trails snake around the mountain, including steep stone steps. But it's the infamous Plank Path – narrow and rickety planks bolted onto the sheer mountainside around 5,000 feet (1,524m) in the sky – that is the most treacherous stretch.

Huangshan Mountain, Anhui, China (6,115ft/1,863m)

Although Huangshan Mountains, or the Yellow Mountains, are not among China's tallest, they definitely are among the most spectacular. Nicknamed the loveliest mountain in China, Huangshan and its otherworldly pine-clad rock formations have captured people's imagination for centuries. The misty mountains have inspired many Chinese forms of art, especially the shan shui style of landscape painting.

Thor Peak, Baffin Mountains, Nunavut, Canada (5,495ft/1,675m)

Located within the remote Auyuittuq National Park, Mount Thor (officially known as Thor Peak) is named after the Norse god of thunder and for very good reason as it's so intimidating. Featuring the world's longest vertical drop at a hair-raising 4,101 feet (1,250m), the slope isn't easily ascended either. In fact, it's so difficult, the mountain wasn't conquered until as recently as 1985, when a four-man American team completed it in 33 grueling days.

Which is crazy long considering they were working around the clock.

Snowdon, Wales, UK (3,559ft/1,085m)

No visit to Snowdonia in Wales is complete without seeing the awe-inspiring Snowdon – the highest summit in England and Wales. Almost as famous as the mountain itself, the Snowdon Mountain Railway is a masterful feat of engineering that was constructed over 14 months in 1894 and has been running ever since. Impressively, three of the five Swiss-manufactured steam locomotives bought in 1895 are still in service today too.
