The best walking holidays in Europe

Paul Bloomfield

Europe is a famously popular and, in places, crowded travel destination. Escaping the bustle on a walking holiday in Europe's more-remote corners is a good way to escape the day trippers, tour buses and cruise ships that plague the continent’s busier hotspots.

Walking holidays in the Alps

Rudolf Abraham

Organised walking holidays in the Alps come in two broad categories: inn-to-inn or centre-based. Inn-to-inn walking holidays typically follow one of the official waymarked long distance walking trails; your accommodation will be pre-booked and your overnight luggage will be transferred for you from point to point.

Walking Holidays In The Dolomites

Paul Bloomfield

Another good alternative to the busier French and Swiss Alps, I would argue the Italian Dolomites, in Italy’s far northeast, are the most beautiful section of the Alps. This is my top choice for a walking holiday that combines photogenic mountains with superb cuisine.
