Centre-based walking holidays for winter months

Head to southern Europe, where the milder climate makes for excellent walking conditions in winter. Detailed, reliable route notes enable you to walk self-guided and, with no group, you can take your pick of the suggested routes, or spend some days sightseeing or simply relaxing at your superbly located hotel of character.

Escape to southern Europe

Since they are a good way to get to know the area you are visiting, we tend to refer to our centre-based walking holidays as ‘discovery walks’. As with all Inntravel holidays, they feature hand-picked hotels of character, but these ones are specifically chosen because they serve as wonderful bases for discovering the very best of the region. Depending on the holiday you have chosen, you explore using either a hire car or public transport, with freedom to choose whether you walk, sightsee or simply relax each day.

How our centre-based walking holidays are graded

Inntravel’s centre-based walking holidays cater for all levels. In fact, on many holidays there is a choice of easy, moderate and more challenging walks, letting you choose how energetic you want to be. Before you start browsing, we suggest that you familiarise yourself with our grading system.

Grade 1

Generally easy walking with few ascents / descents, but perhaps the occasional long day.
Grade 1-2

Easy-to-moderate walking with some ascents / descents, and occasional longer days.
Grade 2

Moderate walking on varied terrain, with some long days and regular ascents / descents.
Grade 2-3

Moderate-to-challenging walking on more rugged terrain with significant ascents / descents on most days. Compass skills may be required (check the individual holiday).
Grade 3

Challenging hikes, featuring long days with significant ascent / descent on challenging terrain. Compass skills may be required.
Flexible

Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.

Centre-based walking holidays, Inntravel style

There are three essential ingredients that feature in our centre-based walking holidays (and Inntravel holidays in general): enchanting scenery; charming, hand-picked accommodation; and delicious regional cuisine.

Detailed route information

We take extra care to provide you with clear, coherent route notes that we update regularly. Including useful tips about places to visit, Inntravel route guides give you more time to focus on the simple pleasures of walking, discovering the natural landscape at your own pace and soaking up the local ambience.
The advantage of independence

With Inntravel, unlike travelling with a group, you can stay in charming small hotels and set your own timetable each day. You’re also free to choose a start date that suits you, to extend your holiday if you wish, and to decide how to travel and from where – we’re happy to handle plane, ferry or train bookings for you.
Friendly experts

We’ve built up a wealth of experience since we started in 1984. Whether you’ve got a query or wish to book a holiday, you’ll deal with friendly experts who share a passion for travel and who have stayed in our featured hotels and walked our routes. They’ll be delighted to answer your questions and help you plan your perfect holiday.
