Crave to see the off-the-beaten-track paths of mother nature that are unreachable by car? Roaring waterfalls, glorious cliffs, breathtaking panoramas - if you're a fan of natural wonders, Europe is surely a great place for your explorations on foot. Frequently, many travelers hesitate to go on hiking tours, intimidated by the possible difficulty of the long intense walks or the inaccessibility to comfortable living conditions (explained by overnights in outdoor tents and having to carry heavy bags), and, as a result, they miss out on incredible experiences. From our years of expertise in European travel, we know that there's a better way to do it: combining comfort with adventures! On this page, we present you a new better way of hiking in Europe, always offering not only accommodation in great hotels or cozy countryside villas but also best-planned inspiring hikes to gorgeous locations which are of low or easy/moderate level of intensity. Depending on your preferences, you can choose from several types of Europe hiking tour packages: private guided hiking tours with transportation, guided small group hikes for up to 8 or 16 people max, as well as self-guided hiking tours, providing the opportunity to easily explore at your own pace with a pre-planned route map and included luggage-carrying service.
