Activity holidays in Europe

There's a great choice of activity holidays just a short flight away. We have walking holidays (both guided and independent) available in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, with routes ranging from easy 1-boot coastal walks to challenging 3-boot mountain hiking. We also have an extensive range of cycling holidays which provide the ideal opportunity for independent exploring of these beautiful and varied countries. Our ever popular canoeing holiday in France is a great choice for families, or for those people who'd prefer to glide along enjoying the views while the river does the hard work for them!

There are plenty of choices in central Europe too - from walking in the Bavarian Alps to cycling and multi activity holidays in Austria, and from challenging mountain hikes in Switzerland to gentle strolls along the beautiful coastline of Croatia, there's something to suit all tastes, ages and abilities.

Whatever you choose, our holidays will introduce you to places where you can go as travellers rather than tourists.

“In the Swiss Valais, numerous unusual butterflies inhabit the Emaney Valley, just above our hotel. There are uplands where you'll see marmots, mouflons, isard and ibex, as well as many rare birds of prey.”
