I hated Badaling for the crowds rather than the climb though. Not too far away is Mutianyu and this is a much more pleasant place and also a nicer walk. Yes there are still steps and climbs but it is more level. Also you can go up the cable car walk along a couple of km (mostly downish) and com down on the luge or another cable car so are not forced to walk back the way you came.

If feeling a little more active there are some great walks in other parts too, but most will require some steep steps.

Another alternative is horse trek to the wall. I really enjoyed this. While I had been on a horse before it was the first time ever for my wife and she was fine. A chap held the horse the whole way for her. if you are an eco-tourist then this way you visit a part of the wall no one else is at, you meet real locals and you avoid all the tourist bits too. The meal of barbecued trout and fresh dumplings in the local village home was great too.
