Easy walking holidays in Europe for relaxed walkers

Our softest adventures

Explore our easy walking holidays in Europe, designed for relaxed walkers, beginners and anyone looking for a gentler self-guided adventure. Choose from softer routes in Italy, Greece, Norway and other beautiful European destinations, with time to walk, explore, eat well and enjoy the journey at your own pace.

We fondly refer to our tours as "soft adventures" because that's exactly what hiking can be – gentle and accessible. There's no need to trek endless kilometers or conquer steep ascents to truly enjoy active travel. 

These trips are specially chosen for those who might be new to walking holidays, wish to travel with less experienced partners or family members, or those who want to balance their time between walking, exploring, sightseeing, taking photos, enjoying local cuisine, or simply strolling at a leisurely pace.
