Hotel to hotel walking holidays for winter months

Escape the grey winters that we are used to and head instead to the southernmost reaches of Europe for a self-guided hotel-to-hotel walking holiday. With luck, there'll be blue skies overhead as you walk from one village to the next, navigating with the help of our carefully compiled route notes, while your luggage is transferred ahead.

Hotel-to-hotel walking,

with your luggage transported

What makes hotel-to-hotel walking so satisfying is the sense of journey. Over the course of a week you could cross from central Gran Canaria to the island's north coast, or head from the lower reaches of Tenerife towards the peak of towering Mount Teide. Witness the landscapes change gradually as you progress, and enjoy a great sense of achievement at reaching your final destination. Staying at different hotels along the way adds extra variety to your holiday.

For the winter months, we offer hotel-to-hotel walking in Europe's southernmost reaches, with particular focus on southern Spain (walking holidays in Alicante are particularly popular) and the Canary Islands, where our walking holidays on La Gomera and Tenerife, among others, wow walkers with the impressive scenery.

Hotel-to-hotel walking holidays, Inntravel style

There are three cornerstones to our hotel-to-hotel walking holidays (and Inntravel holidays in general): timeless scenery; hand-picked accommodation of character where you’ll find warm hospitality; and delicious regional cuisine.

Detailed route information

We take extra care to provide you with clear, coherent route notes that we update regularly. Including useful tips about places to visit, Inntravel route guides give you more time to focus on the simple pleasures of walking, discovering the natural landscape at your own pace and soaking up the local ambience.
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.
Friendly experts

We’ve built up a wealth of experience since we started in 1984. Whether you’ve got a query or wish to book a holiday, you’ll deal with friendly experts who share a passion for travel and who have stayed in our featured hotels and walked our routes. They’ll be delighted to answer your questions and help you plan your perfect holiday.
