Notes
We do everything we can to make your walking holiday as easy and enjoyable as possible.  Our walking tours are accessible to reasonably fit, healthy people with the enthusiasm to discover beautiful regions on foot. You’ll be part of a small group of walkers, complete with your own guide. Each day, you’ll be guided along well-planned routes at a leisurely pace, so there’s plenty of time to take in the scenery. Most days will begin with a short transfer from your hotel to the walk’s starting point, that way, you don’t cover the same ground every day.

Each of our walking tours feature:
• Well-planned itineraries at a leisurely pace
• Specialist walking guides with detailed notes and maps
• Hand-picked gasthofs and inns with good food

PLUS... if you’re unable to walk on any day, or if the weather is bad, you’ll be offered an alternative optional excursion by coach so you can still enjoy your surroundings.

Prices are per person, based on two sharing.
