Introductory walking
Moderate walking
If you have pushed yourself up a few hills of a Sunday these moderate walking holidays will push you just a bit more, with 5-8 hours walking per day, and some days stretching those calves more than others, but leaving you a bit of rest in between, so you can take in the sights. The Alentjo region of Portugal or even the Mont Blanc circuit (not ascent) will whet your appetite as examples.Walking plus one
There are more and more walking holidays for people who want to combine it with another activity, or learning a new skill. For example, you can combine Spanish classes with strolls along sections of Spain’s famous Camino de Santiago. Or salute the sun in the French Alps from both a yoga studio and a mountainside. Hike with huskies in Finland, or combine walking with kayaking in Patagonia.Self-guided walking
Many walking holidays are for groups, however, if you prefer to walk independently, then there are superb options out there. An organised self-guided walking holiday takes all the work out of it for you, providing maps, copious notes, accommodation, luggage transfers and food. So all you have to do is walk. It depends on the walk, but in general no previous experience is needed, although an ability to read a map does help!Walking safari
Centre-based walking
Basing yourself in one place, but taking different walks every day, centre-based walking holidays are great for people who want to explore but not keep unpacking and repacking. They range from basing yourself in a wilderness lodge in Canada’s Rockies, an auberge in the Poitou-Charentes region of France, a 4 star hotel in Catalonia or a country hotel in the Rif Mountains of Morocco.Our top Walking Holiday
