The route you’re about to embark upon will take you through the most beautiful landscapes and panoramic viewpoints of the region. This route has been selected based on walking interests, together with special interests such as cultural features along the way.

Once you have begun your walking holiday, you will very quickly realise that walking is an amazing (if not the best) way to discover an area – getting up close to its flora and fauna, with all your senses awakened in the fresh air. You’ll feel healthier from the very first day!

Take the time to wander along a sinuous path at your own pace, with as many breaks as you like. Breathe deeply, feel the wind, taste the air and smell the aroma of adventure.

After your day’s walk, what better than to arrive in a warm and welcoming hotel? We select hotels and other accommodation based on their comfort, facilities and character. Usually, you will arrive at your hotel in the late afternoon, giving you plenty of time for a rest, a refreshing shower, a visit to the local village etc.

You can enjoy all the things that make for a relaxing holiday and top it off with a traditional meal in your hotel, prepared with the best fresh, regional products. We always give preference to hotels with their own restaurant and chefs, and those awarded with a quality label and/or recommended by recognised guidebooks. More importantly, we have tried them for you! And we always look forward to coming back.

Obviously, hotels and restaurants are dependent on local infrastructures and the above applies to the vast majority of our holidays. Sometimes we even arrange the route so that it passes by a hotel that we particularly like. However, it could happen that on a particular walking holiday or a specific stage, the accommodation, while clean and friendly, will be more basic.

Every day, we take care of your luggage so it will be waiting for you when you arrive at the next hotel. During the day, you can comfortably walk with a day pack of about 4 kg. We believe that walking with a light pack provides you with a level of comfort that ensures you really enjoy your walk.

If you take the picnic option, your hotel will provide you with a picnic lunch before you set off on your walk that morning. You can stop at your own leisure to eat a well-deserved and substantial meal. You can then continue at your own pace, indulging in a siesta or perhaps going for a swim, before arriving at your next hotel.

Before your departure, you will receive a holiday pack containing all the information about your holiday, including your walking notes and detailed maps.

These walking notes are extremely detailed, describing the route on a step-by-step basis.

Our notes are checked regularly and updated accordingly. In addition, we welcome all customer feedback on our walking notes. As such, they are constantly being refined and improved.

Our maps are the best in terms of design and usability.

Last but not least, the vast majority of the selected routes follow well-marked paths. An explanation of the various markings is provided with the walking notes.

One of the main reasons to go on a walking holiday with us is that, as part of our packages, we leave you room for customisation. This allows you to get the most out of your holiday.

Typically customisation includes, but is not limited to:

• Extra day at the beginning, during or at the end of the walk. This can be added in order to include a rest day in your holiday, or to take advantage of a cultural town that you wish to explore in greater detail.
• Add an activity to your walking holiday. For example, on our walking holidays to the Alps you can opt for an extra dose of adrenaline with one of our white water excursions: rafting, kayaking, hydro speed, etc. These activities are fun and exciting and give you the impetus to walk further.
• Comfort Plus: When this option is available, you have the possibility to upgrade your already comfortable accommodation to luxury accommodation with swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, etc. Typically, upgrades are from a 2* standard to a 4* standard.
• Donkey: In some of our walking holidays, walking with a donkey is a fun option and an easy way to encourage kids to embrace the adventure.
