away from the crowds

With Moorish castles and Neolithic cave paintings to discover, not to mention a wealth of flora and fauna, there’s more to a walking holiday in the mountains of Alicante than just walking. We encourage you to explore the quiet villages that you pass through, and to admire your surroundings – you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage (we transfer your bags to the next hand-picked hotel). So enjoy a walking holiday that's worth it, following our trusted route notes at your own pace.

Great walking in Alicante’s mountains

The mountains of Alicante are not far from the bustle of the Costa Blanca, yet feel off the beaten track. This is a secret world of craggy limestone peaks, dramatic gorges, verdant valleys and terraces of almonds, all of which makes for great walking.

Are our walking holidays in Alicante right for you?

If you’re looking for a moderate walking holiday, the mountains of Alicante are an excellent choice. The routes are satisfying without being too challenging, and reward you with dramatic views. To be sure that they are right for you, check our grading system below.

Grade 1

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.
Grade 1-2

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.
Grade 2

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.
Grade 2-3

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.
Grade 3

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.
Flexible

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.
