Walking Holidays in Europe

WALKING HOLIDAYS IN EUROPE

Managing to effortlessly pack in a little bit of everything, Europe is the small continent with so much to offer. There’s a fabulous selection of walking routes through national parks and nature reserves, plus a dizzying array of coastal trails on sun-kissed islands and culture-packed places to explore – each with their own remarkable history.

On the majority of our European walking holidays, you’ll have an HF Holidays Tour Manager to take care of all planning and travel arrangements, alongside a local leader who’ll guide you on the best walks or sightseeing experiences in the area.

What to expect on a guided walking holiday in Europe

Our walking holidays in Europe offer a choice of up to two wonderful walks per day plus a host of cultural experiences. Whether you’re trekking across the Canary Islands, exploring Italy’s rugged Dolomites, or summiting peaks in the Swiss Alps, every detail is taken care of by our dream team of expert local leaders and HF Holidays Tour Managers.

Spend a week in Provence sampling French food and wine and walking through the very landscapes that inspired the likes of Van Gogh, Matisse, and Cézanne. Or visit the Amalfi Coast to walk the famous Path of the Gods, eat authentic Italian cuisine, and have a go at making your own gelato.
