Moderate-to-challenging walking holidays

 

If you like longer, hillier routes, our self-guided moderate-to-challenging cycling holidays are for you. Equipped with a high-quality bike and lovingly researched route notes, you pedal at your own pace from one delightful hotel to another, while your luggage is transferred.

hill-walking holidays

Our moderate-to-challenging routes bring many rewards, from the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass, to the views that greet you there. But, despite involving fairly full days, they are not just about the walking. In keeping with our Slow holiday philosophy, they are also about appreciating the details – the flowers, the wildlife, local architecture. You’ve no luggage to weigh you down, and no group, so take your time, knowing that a charming hotel and a delicious dinner await.

Our favourite regions for hill-walking

Most of our hill-walking holidays explore mountainous areas – the Pyrenees (either the Catalan Pyrenees in the east or the Basque Pyrenees in the west), the Alps (choose the Vaudoise, to the east of Lake Geneva, Bavaria or the Dolomites), the Apennines (the mountains forming Italy’s spine), Spain’s Picos de Europa… In northern Italy, you can either walk along the ancient Via Spluga route to Lake Como, or from tiny Lake Ledro to famous Lake Garda, or if you prefer Greece, you can choose between Crete or ‘secret’ Andros.
 

How Inntravel walking holidays are graded

Our moderate-to-challenging walking holidays are aimed at fit, regular walkers. To be sure that they are right for you, check our grading system below. Given the flexibility of our holidays, you are free to add in extra nights at any hotel so as to give yourself a rest day or two.
  • Generally easy walking with few ascents / descents, but perhaps the occasional long day.
  • Easy-to-moderate walking with some ascents / descents, and occasional longer days.
  • Moderate walking on varied terrain, with some long days and regular ascents / descents.
  • Moderate-to-challenging walking on more rugged terrain with significant ascents / descents on most days. Compass skills may be required (check the individual holiday).
  • Challenging hikes, featuring long days with significant ascent / descent on challenging terrain. Compass skills may be required.
  • Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
