A hiking or walking holiday in Europe gives you proper days on the trail with the planning done for you, and the 26 programmes on this page cover a wide spread of landscapes and paces. You can walk the coastal path on Brittany's Emerald Coast, climb into the Albanian Alps, trek through Gorski Kotar's forests in Croatia, follow a section of the Camino de Santiago in the Gers, or hike on Uløya, an island at the northern end of Norway's Lyngen Alps. Italy is well represented, with the Dolomites, South Tyrol, Abruzzo National Park and the mountains above Positano. Portugal, Mallorca, Fuerteventura, Romania, Switzerland and Germany's Rhön are here too. Programmes run from three to eight days, and most last about a week. Many pair walking with daily yoga, and some add e-biking, cycling, spa time, Qi Gong or trail running. The effort varies widely. In Madeira you choose your pace, with walks of 2 to 9 km a day, and the Mallorca week is built around easy, mostly flat walks. In Romania's Apuseni foothills you hike 8 to 15 km with climbs of up to 800 m, and the Amalfi Coast week opens with hard morning treks. There are two women-only weeks in southern France, and a self-guided option in Brittany if you would rather walk independently. Prices start at 400 CHF for a four-day trail running camp in Davos and reach 41,000 NOK for an autumn Northern Lights hiking week in Arctic Norway. Many sit between roughly 1,000 and 1,700 in euros, pounds or dollars.
