Small is Beautiful
Did you know that some of the best walking holidays in Europe can be hard to find? That’s because they’re offered by smaller, independent businesses. And those are not always as visible online as the larger companies with bigger marketing budgets.
But bigger isn’t always better…
Something special
We believe that an independent walking holiday company can give you that extra special something you often miss elsewhere. Their local knowledge, enthusiasm and love for the place where they live all helps to make your holiday unforgettable.
So that’s why here you’ll only find such small-scale walking holidays. All together in one place, presented in the same way.
Like this you can easily see what’s on offer and find your next perfect hiking adventure.
Book directly
Every walking holiday links you directly to an independent, local business. You book directly with them, without any middle man or commission.
There are guided and self-guided walking holidays in Europe here. Plus a number of tours with both options. From leisurely rambles to more serious hikes, there’s something for every level.
