Walking holidays

Self-guided walking in the UK and Europe

For over 40 years, we’ve led the way in self-guided walking holidays, charting routes that shine a light on little-known communities and lesser-explored landscapes. We don’t just take you down the popular paths – we find the most tantalising trails, and the most captivating vistas and vantages. Wherever you choose to explore – from the rolling hilltops of Italy to Norway’s spectacular fjords – we'll make it worth it.

Inntravel walking holidays are self-guided to give you the freedom to set your own pace, and the space to enjoy every moment. With no groups to hurry you along or hold you back, you have time for everything: for exploring the best of your destination – its culture, traditions, and cuisine – and for enjoying some beautiful walking along the way.

The Tour du Mont Blanc - Where every day is a highlight

One of the world’s classic multi-day walks, the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is a 170-kilometre circuit of western Europe’s highest peak. It’s a truly iconic route – taking you through three different countries and promising both outstanding scenery and a tremendous sense of challenge.

We now have three ways for you to navigate the Tour du Mont Blanc and given its popularity, this is a holiday to book ahead – and we’ve now opened reservations for next year! Don’t miss your chance to walk this unique trail…

Types of walking holidays

 

How our walking holidays are graded

So broad is our selection, that we have a self-guided walking holiday for everyone, from gentle strolls (grade 1) to high-mountain hikes (grade 3) such as the Tour du Mont Blanc. Naturally, the grading of individual holidays is subjective and within each holiday you will occasionally find some days slightly more challenging or easier than others. If you need any advice, please ask our friendly experts.
  • These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.



    View all gentle walking holidays
  • You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.


    View all gentle to moderate walking holidays
  • Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.


    View all moderate walking holidays
  • Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.


    View all moderate-to-challenging walking holidays
  • Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.


    View all challenging walking holidays
  • Our flexible walking holidays give you a choice of routes each day, some of which are easier than others, so you can select the one that’s right for you on the day. This flexibility also makes these holidays perfect for anyone who is unsure of their level, or for groups of friends or family who want to enjoy a walking holiday together, but who may not all be at the same fitness level.
 

FAQs - Find the right walking holiday for you

If you’d like more information about a specific walking holiday, or advice on choosing the right grade or destination for you, please get in touch – our friendly experts will be happy to help.
  • We try to vary each day’s route, but you’ll no doubt fall into a pattern, perhaps setting off at 9am after familiarising yourself with the route on the map while you enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

    You can pause as often as you like to admire the views, the flowers or the birds – there’s no rush. Linger over your picnic at a panoramic spot, then continue on your way, arriving at your next hotel some time in the mid to late afternoon, with time to freshen up and explore the village before a dinner of delicious regional cuisine.
  • First, pick a grade and a style of walking (hotel to hotel, centred, or with your own guide). Then think about your preferences in terms of country, scenery, style and standard of accommodation. You can ask our experts to suggest a shortlist, or use the holiday search facility.
  • Holiday pages usually either state the cumulative ascent/descent for each day, or feature elevation charts which show the distance and an approximation of the ascents and descents involved. Pay attention to the scale of the chart, as this varies.
  • The descriptions of the walking routes on the holiday pages usually make it clear if walks are suitable for vertigo sufferers, but if you need more detailed advice, please contact us and we’ll arrange for you to speak with someone who has walked the routes.
  • Often you follow waymarked trails, but even where not, we provide very detailed route notes, which are checked on a regular basis, and a map (usually 1:25,000, but sometimes 1:50,000).

    In addition, for all but a handful of holidays, we’ll send you a link to the GPX tracks for your route which you can download onto a GPS device or a smartphone with the relevant app. This gives you added reassurance, but is by no means essential; if you prefer to solely use the route notes and maps, that’s entirely up to you.

    As well as guiding you from A to B, the step-by-step route notes provide information about the places of interest you pass. If there’s a worthwhile detour, we point this out too, and even suggest picnic spots.
  • We aim to take care of every detail, so things rarely go wrong. If they do, the hoteliers – many of whom have worked with us for years – are able to solve most problems, but for added peace of mind we provide a 24-hour emergency line.
  • It depends on the holiday. If you would prefer not to, choose a hotel-to-hotel walking holiday that features two nights at each hotel, or a centred walking holiday on which you stay at just one hotel and can decide each day whether to walk, sightsee or rest.
  • You’ll need walking boots or shoes, depending on the terrain and your personal preference, plus a compass, water bottle and waterproofs. Walking poles and a GPS device are useful, but not essential.

    Clothing-wise, you should pack for all eventualities, remembering that it is often cooler at altitude and in the evening. We’ll provide more detailed information when you book.

    Our arrangements generally allow for one large item (15-20kg) and one small item (up to 10kg) per person. On most Swiss holidays, there is a limit of one piece of luggage per person.
  • Just a camera, your picnic, drinks, sun cream and waterproofs – we transfer your luggage if you are moving on to another hotel. All we ask is that you leave your luggage in reception as you leave.
  • Most of our walking holidays are suitable for older children who walk regularly and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved in the chosen holiday. Please note, however, that family rooms for more than 2 or 3 people are uncommon at many of the smaller hotels.
 

What is the accommodation like?

The accommodation varies from destination to destination and, to some extent, from holiday to holiday. Some feature only 4-star hotels, others take advantage of special accommodation unique to the area, such as the masserie (ancient farmsteads) of Puglia in Italy or the converted fishermen’s cottages of northern Norway, and many more offer a mix of accommodation, including agriturismos (working farms) and high-quality hotels. What you choose will depend on your preferences and your budget.
 

What to pack

What you should pack for your walking holiday depends on where in Europe you are visiting.
