Easy walking escapes

Our easier walking holidays are designed for anyone who prefers a gentler pace with time to sightsee and savour a long lunch.

They suit couples, friends, or solo travellers looking for a more relaxing adventure – with the reassurance of well-planned routes, detailed notes, and characterful, independent hotels at the end of each day.

A typical day on one of our easier walking holidays might look like:
- A gentle morning walk, stopping to admire wildflowers or lake views.
- Lunch in a café or a picnic.
- A relaxed afternoon of sightseeing.
- Evenings in welcoming hotels, where your luggage and dinner await.

Mösern & the Hidden Austrian Tyrol - On the tranquil Seefeld Plateau, wander through wildflower meadows, beside peaceful lakes, and beneath panoramic Alpine peaks. Your base is a superb 4-star hotel with spa and indoor pool, the perfect place to relax after a day on the trails. Walks here are flexible, ranging from gentle paths to more rewarding routes, while day trips to Innsbruck add a touch of culture to your Alpine escape.

Along the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) - Discover the quiet side of the Riviera, where gentle coastal paths combine walking with sightseeing. Explore Menton, a town that feels more Italian than French, and visit highlights such as Cocteau’s chapel, Rothschild’s villa, and elegant gardens. A short train ride brings you to Monaco, offering a glimpse of glamour before you retreat to the peace of the coast.

Swiss Alps Stroll & Lake Lucerne - Experience Switzerland at its most relaxing, with easy trails winding through flower-filled meadows and valleys framed by iconic peaks. Ride the famous Jungfrau Railway and Europe’s steepest cog railway, and pause at rustic chalets for coffee and cake with a view. Lucerne’s Old Town, with its Renaissance architecture and famous bridges, adds a cultural flourish to your holiday.

Gardens of Lake Constance - Gentle lakeside strolls lead you through orchards and vineyards, past panoramic slopes, and into timeless towns. Visit the celebrated botanical gardens of Mainau Island, and step back in time at the UNESCO-listed open-air museum in Unteruhldingen. Sample fresh fish straight from the lake, or take to the water yourself with a boat trip to Friedrichshafen, home of the Zeppelin.

Yes. Our Grade 1 and 'Stroll' holidays are designed with beginners in mind. Routes are shorter, terrain is easier underfoot, and daily distances allow plenty of time to pause and explore.

Not at all. On our single-centre holidays, you can choose to walk as much or as little as you like. Even on hotel-to-hotel routes, you can add extra nights if you wish.

We grade all of our holidays clearly, from grade 1 (easy) to grade 3 (more demanding). Our easy walking holidays are all grade 1 or grade 1-2, with many falling into our Stroll collection, meaning even gentler distances and terrain.

As with all Inntravel holidays, you’ll stay in hand-picked, characterful hotels – often family-run – that reflect the culture of the region. Many feature gardens, spas, pools, and superb views.

No. Your bags are transferred for you, so you can walk freely with just a daypack. This is included whether you’re on a single-centre stay or a hotel-to-hotel walk.

Yes. Our 24-hour support line means that if you need help at any point, we’re always just a call away for your peace of mind.

Absolutely. Many of our easier holidays include highlights such as historic towns, famous gardens, castles, and museums – so you can combine gentle walks with plenty of sightseeing.
