Active holidays for over 60s

Your holiday, your pace

Being over 60 often opens up a different kind of freedom. More time to travel, more experience to know what you enjoy, and perhaps less interest in rushing from one place to the next.

An active holiday can be whatever you want it to be. It could be walking through beautiful Italian countryside, exploring a new city, or cities by rail, discovering a region's food and wine, or simply spending your days outdoors and taking the time to enjoy where you are.

With Inntravel, you can choose the destination, the style of holiday and the level of activity that suits you. We take care of the details, leaving you free to enjoy the experience.

More time to enjoy the journey


There's no right or wrong way to enjoy an active holiday. You might be looking for gentle walks with plenty of time to stop and explore, or a more challenging itinerary that gets you properly out into the landscape. Perhaps you'd prefer a rail journey linking historic cities, with walking and sightseeing along the way or a winter experience, giving you the option to try your hand at snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and more.

Our holidays come in different styles and walking grades, so you can find something that matches how you like to travel - whether that's a leisurely escape or a more energetic adventure.

For many of us, the best part of travelling isn't simply getting somewhere. It's having the time to appreciate it.

Take the scenic route. Spend an afternoon exploring a village. Stop for lunch somewhere memorable. Sit with a glass of local wine and watch the world go by. Or take the train through spectacular scenery rather than rushing from A to B.

Our holidays are designed to give you the time and freedom to experience a destination properly, rather than simply ticking off the sights.


Active doesn't have to mean strenuous

An active holiday should be enjoyable first and foremost. Our walking grades help you choose an itinerary that matches your fitness and the type of walking you enjoy. Some holidays feature shorter, gentler walks, while others are designed for those looking for longer distances and more challenging terrain.

And walking isn't the only way to stay active. Exploring a city on foot, travelling between destinations by train, or simply getting out and discovering somewhere new all add activity to your holiday.

The important thing is choosing a holiday that feels right for you.
