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. 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 you’re on a walking holiday that’s worth it.

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 Bavaria or the Dolomites, among others), the Apennines (the mountains forming Italy’s spine), Spain’s Grazalema Sierra… In northern Italy, you can either walk along the ancient Via Spluga route to Lake Como, or between the great cities of Bologna and Florence. Alternatively, if you would prefer an island adventure, you can choose Crete, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and more.
