Grab your walking boots and head for the hills on a family walking holiday. What could be better than fresh air, plenty of exercise (combined with long leisurely picnics of course!), and the chance to explore some of Europe’s most beautiful landscapes on foot, spotting wildlife, paddling in streams and learning about the area and local ways of life along the way? Choose walks to suit your family’s ages, interests and fitness levels, from short toddles to picnic by a gentle stream, to full day hikes to stretch your teenager’s legs. See our family walking feature from Teresa Hardy and family in the Hautes-Pyrénées.
Discover the beautiful untouched landscapes of Italy, France, Slovenia, Pyrenees, Gran Canaria and many other wonderful destinations, most of which are easily reachable by train as an alternative to flying.
Booking a family walking through a specialist operator not only provides you with lavish pack lunches, the chance of a single base, and guided tours but you can relax in the knowledge that if you or your family do have a problem, you will receive the full support and help of an operator manager who will be based in your village.
