Inntravel walking holidays are relaxed affairs – not just easy terrain, but easy arrangements too. We book charming hotels, and provide our thoroughly researched route notes – plus luggage transfers if you’re walking from hotel to hotel – so that you can explore self-guided at entirely your own pace.
Our gentle-to-moderate walking holidays are aimed at people who are not necessarily seasoned walkers, but who can nevertheless manage walks of several miles over relatively easy terrain – we put the emphasis on getting to know the region, not bagging peaks, and encourage you to revel in the details: unusual architecture, the flowers, the birds… You’ve no luggage to encumber you, and no group either, so it’s you who sets the pace and decides when to pause.
You can trust us to hand-pick accommodation of character and to provide accurate route notes that not only guide you there but also point out good picnic spots and worthwhile detours to viewpoints, so relax and enjoy…
Destinations include Tuscany, Roman Provence and the Dordogne, whose appeal lies in their alluring scenery, picturesque villages and delicious cuisine; the lakes and mountains east of Salzburg; the palace-strewn area west of Lisbon; and Piedmont, a region in northern Italy combining medieval villages, top-quality wines, and cuisine to match.
How Inntravel walking holidays are graded
Inntravel offers five different levels of walking holiday, with those at the lower end suitable for occasional walkers of average fitness. To be sure that our easy-to-moderate (grade 1-2) walking holidays are right for you, read our grading system below.
Grade 1
These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
Grade 1-2
You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
Grade 2
Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
Grade 2-3
Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
Grade 3
Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
Flexible
Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
