Walking holidays in Catalonia

 

Enjoy a non-group, self-guided walking holiday in Catalonia, on which you walk from one characterful hotel to the next while your luggage is transported, or explore from a well-located single base. We provide you with a map and our much-praised route notes; the pace at which you walk is up to you.

Catalonia has many different faces

In the north, the rugged peaks and glacial lakes of the Pyrenees give way to the wooded, volcanic hills of the Garrotxa, where ancient trails lead through flower-filled meadows and past the isolated ruins of Romanesque chapels and remote farmsteads.
Below these lies the rolling Empordà plain. Dotted with medieval villages of honey-coloured stone, this stretches to meet the Costa Brava with its whitewashed fishing villages and sandy bays. Further south, beyond the vibrant capital, Barcelona, lies another landscape again: the Penedès vineyards, which produce Catalonia's delicious Cava.

Where to go walking in Catalonia

You can rely on Inntravel to have found the best walking Catalonia (Catalunya) has to offer. Walking holidays on the Costa Brava and in Empordà promise a combination of medieval villages, Surrealist art and time by the sea, while the Garrotxa offers scenery of wooded volcanoes and ancient stone settlements. For high-mountain scenery, make a beeline for the Pyrenees.

Are our walking holidays in Catalonia right for you?

We offer holidays for all levels: for easy walking, the Costa Brava is an obvious choice, as you meander gently from one bay to another. At the other end of the scale, our walking holidays in the Pyrenees offer more of a challenge. To be sure of choosing the holiday that’s right for you, read our grading system below.
  • 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.
