What makes a single-centre walking holiday without a car so appealing is that carefree feeling: you needn’t pack and unpack every day or two, and don’t have to worry about driving on foreign roads. Head out from the door or make use of local transport and/or taxis to access the walks, following our trusted route notes at your own pace.
There’s a reason we often refer to our centred walking holidays as ‘discovery walks’: they give you the chance to really get to know the area you are visiting. We choose one or two superbly located hotels and provide carefully compiled route notes for a variety of walks that you can access either from the door or by using public transport and/or taxis. The great advantage of this is the flexibility – you can take your pick of the walks depending on how you feel.
Of course, if you don’t feel like walking at all, you needn’t – the location of our hand-picked hotels usually means that there is plenty to see and do in the area besides walking (we make suggestions in your information pack), or you could simply relax in the hotel lounge with a good book.

How our single-centre walking holidays are graded
Inntravel’s single-centre walking holidays without a car tend to cater for people looking for easy or moderate walking (or a combination). Before you start looking through our selection, we suggest that you read through our grading system.
Grade 1 - Easy
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What to expect from your single-centre walking holiday
There are three core ingredients that feature in our single-centre walking holidays (and Inntravel holidays in general): alluring scenery; accommodation hand-picked for its charming and welcoming atmosphere; and tasty regional cuisine.
Holidays tailored for you
Because you explore independently on an Inntravel holiday, you can personalise the arrangements. Pick a holiday, then decide when to start, how long to stay (you can add extra nights) and how to get there. Then we take care of the details – from train, ferry or flight bookings to hotel and taxi reservations.
