9. Chang Kong Cliff Road, China
Would you be up for crossing an extremely narrow and treacherous walkway along cliffs in China's Shaanzi Province? This road was built more than 700 years ago by hermits searching for 'immortals' they though were living deep in the mountains.

3. Preikestolen, Norway
This mountain form towers over the Lysefjord in Rogaland, Fjord Norway. There is a well prepared trek from Preikestolen Mountain Lodge to the top of the 604 metre high mountain plateau. Expect to spend 4 to 5 hours hiking from the lodge to the top and back down, and allow an hour or two to spend on the plateau.

2. Trolltunga, Norway
If you are looking for the ultimate selfie for your Instagram we would recommend taking it on the spectacular scenic cliff in Norway. Situated 1100 meters above sea level, the view is breathtaking. The hike however takes 8-10 hours in total and the ascent is about 900 meters. We think the journey is worth it, don't you think?

1. Kjerag, Lysefjorden, Norway
Okay, we were wrong. - this is definitely the place to grab the ultimate selfie! Would you be daring enough to stand on the Kjeragbloten? This is a round rock wedged solidly into the mountain crevice. This would definitely be the craziest place to live life on the edge!
