Trekking Holidays

Trekking holidays – The experience of a lifetime
Trekking holidays can be the experience of a lifetime. There is nothing quite like the sense of exhilaration and achievement that go with trekking holidays; a marvellous way of getting to know a country while passing through spectacular scenery that can only be seen on foot. Modern guides and maps and ever improving materials have brought the pleasures of trekking holidays to a wider public. Classic trekking holiday destinations in Europe centre on the Alps, the Dolomites and the Pyrenees. Lesser known trekking holiday destinations in Europe include the Pindos Mountains in Greece, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe or the island of Corsica. Don’t rule out trekking holidays in countries more associated with summer beach resorts. Rewarding trekking holidays can be had in Spain’s Picos de Europa and as far south as the gorgeous Alpujarras in Andalusia.

Trekking holidays – Choose your trekking style
Independent trekking holidays will bring you extraordinary close to the local people while organised trekking holidays will offer valuable expertise and company. Independent trekking holidays require a certain amount of experience but are well within the means of any reasonably fit person young or old. Organised trekking holidays will often transport bags and organise campsites and cooking, leaving you free to enjoy the view. Whatever your style, no trekking holiday should underestimate the importance of mountain safety, respecting weather conditions and adequate equipment.

Trekking holidays – The world’s most beautiful places
Trekking holidays in the highest mountains of Europe are obviously limited to the summer season. Trekking holidays outside the peak school holiday months will enhance the feeling of being away from it all. Trekking holidays can experience some of the classic walking routes of the world; Everest base camp in Nepal, the Gr across Corsica or the Atlantic to Mediterranean transverse of the Pyrenees. Trekking holidays outside Europe offer amazing experiences all year round; the jungles of Thailand or Costa Rica, the Atlas in Morocco, the extraordinary Peruvian Andes and the remarkable Himalayas.
