Gentle Walking Tours
Explore Europe's hiking trails on an easy and leisurely walking holiday
Don't break a sweat with this inspiring collection of gentle walking trips in Europe. These introductory-graded walks have been designed to be achievable and accessible for travellers who like to explore Europe by being active without being overwhelmed.
On these leisurely walking holidays you can expect to walk from 4 to 5 hours per day at a relaxed pace, and to cover distances of approximately 7km (4 mi) to 18km (14.7mi). The terrain is generally flat and easy to navigate underfoot. There are options to join a small group guided tour, or to explore at your own pace on a self guided trip.
Just because they've been labelled as "gentle" walks doesn't mean the experiences aren't extraordinary. From the scent of truffles in the Dordogne to the charming villages of the Cotswolds, you're sure to encounter unforgettable moments on your journey.
