Freedom without the fuss

Our self guided walking tours Europe give you the luxury of flexibility without sacrificing structure. You choose when to start your day, how far to walk, and which detours to take. At the same time, expert local teams have carefully crafted each route to guide you through picturesque villages, breathtaking countryside, and cultural landmarks. 

Each trip includes pre-booked accommodations in charming guesthouses, boutique hotels or countryside inns that reflect the region’s character.

Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a casual walker, you set the rhythm and the experience follows you.

Discover France on foot

France is a walker’s paradise, and our self guided walking tours in France showcase its most iconic regions. Wander through the rolling vineyards of Bordeaux, the coastal paths of Brittany, or the majestic trails of the Alps. In Provence, inhale the scent of lavender as you pass stone villages and olive groves. In the Dordogne, step back in time with prehistoric cave tours France, following quiet river paths past cliffside towns.

The Loire Valley offers fairytale-like walks between Renaissance castles. In the Basque Country, trails wind through mountains and coastal farmland. From the rugged Atlantic Coast to the volcanic trails of the Massif Central, each itinerary is crafted to connect you with France’s diversity — naturally and effortlessly.

Extend your journey across Europe

If your adventure leads you beyond France, our self guided hiking trips across Europe bring you into direct contact with the landscapes and cultures of the continent. Explore the fjord-like coastlines of Croatia, the coastal cliffs of Portugal, or the emerald trails of Ireland. In Italy, enjoy sun-soaked walks through Tuscan hills or along the dramatic Amalfi coast. Choose self guided walking tours Spain for historical pilgrimage routes and vibrant local life. And for crisp air and glacial beauty, Switzerland offers unforgettable alpine trekking.

These experiences are available to solo travelers, couples, or small groups, with tours that run even for one person on select departures. Our flexible grading system lets you choose easy strolls, moderate walks, or challenging hikes, depending on your preferences and fitness level.

Ethical, sustainable, and meaningful

Our self guided hiking tours go beyond tourism. They support responsible travel by working with local accommodations, minimizing environmental impact, and contributing to small economies. Walking naturally reduces your footprint, encourages mindful exploration, and offers the chance to engage with places in a more human, slower, and meaningful way. Whether you’re walking from hotel to hotel or enjoying looped trails from one base, you’re helping create a more sustainable travel future.
