도록 vs. 기(를) 위해 ...how different?

Lately, this has been coming up quite a bit in my Korean studies. In the case of meaning something like "in order to" are these fundamentally the same? I have been getting mixed (seemingly context-dependent) answers from natives about this.. Here are two example cases, for a starting point: 긴장을 풀기(를) 위해 뭘 해요? 긴장을 풀도록 뭘 해요? and 지리산을 올라가도록 적어도 2일이 필요하다. 지리산을 올라가기 위해 적어도 2일이 필요하다. thanks for any help.
