No Medal points in hiking activity (?)

Hiking activities should be counted same as walking activities to win medal points, why they are not? You can make thousands of steps hiking which are not taking into account to ger medal points.... Makes no sense, hiking steps are harder than walking steps,

Hope you fix it soon!

Thanks and regards,

For the steps challenges it doesn't matter what activity type you log it as. Steps are always counted except while you are logging a few activities like biking, swimming and water sports.

Here is the full list: Why am I Not Gaining Steps During Certain Activities

For walking challenges that use a distance or time you are required to log walking activities to get any progress. Just logging steps will not count for those.

There are specific hiking badges that you can only get for hiking activities.

If you want walking badges for your hiking you can just log your hiking as walking...or do you consider them to be that different...then you shouldn't get walking badges for your hiking, right?
