Europe Active Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Lindsey Jarvis
Seeking one of the greatest hiking holidays in Italy? I can highly recommend the Path of the Gods - a must do for hiking enthusiasts, spanning seven kilometres of moderate intensity trails connecting a couple of charming villages.
Lucy Weatherston
Reaching the peak of Europe’s highest mountain is a huge technical challenge. If you don’t feel ready for the full hike, perhaps instead opt to hike one section of the famed Mont Blanc Circuit – a series of paths seamlessly linking together to form one of Europe’s most scenic long-distance hiking trails.
