Preparing for your winter walking holiday

• What to pack

  Packing appropriately is key to ensuring a successful winter walking holiday.

Don’t forget warm accessories, like gloves, hats and sun cream – even in the winter it’s important to pack sun protection.

These sun-kissed regions are ideal for exploring on foot during the cooler months, with perfect conditions for unhurried discovery.
