Europe Hiking Tours
Highlights of Europe hiking tours
- Hike the stunning Romsdalseggen Ridge, a seven to eight-hour hike with stunning views over some of the best fjords in Norway and passing near breathtaking waterfalls.
- Explore underrated countries such as Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina. The famous Trebevič Peak Trail is a challenging route ideal for those wanting to explore the mountainous surroundings of Sarajevo, while the Black Lake Trail in Montenegro is ideal for those new to this activity.
- Embark on a journey on the Scottish highlands to fully immerse yourself in the unspoiled local nature while visiting ancient sites such as Urquhart Castle.
- See the Cinque Terre, five picturesque Italian towns facing the Mediterranean Sea known for the bright colors of the houses. Hike from one town to the next on the ancient road, giving you the best view over the region’s high cliffs. Some trails, such as the Manarola - Corniglia route, are ideal for expert hikers, while others, such as the Manarola - Riomaggiore trail, are perfect for those who are just starting. These are some of the best hiking tours in Europe.
- Hike the Tatra Mountains in the fall to see one of the best foliage in Europe, and opt for the difficult Orla Perć if you’re up for a challenge.
Travel tips for hiking tours in Europe
- If you decide to opt for a hike in the Romsdalseggen Ridge, plan your trip to land between July and September, as the remaining months tend to be dangerous due to unfavorable weather conditions.
- When hiking in the summer, don’t forget that some mountains in Europe go well beyond 4,000 meters high, meaning that you will need warm clothes despite the lowland summer temperatures.
- Before your Europe hiking tour, research your trail, write down the numbers to call in case of emergency (in most places in Europe, it is 112), and let someone know where you’re heading.
- Always check the weather before embarking on your European hiking tour as, especially in northern countries, a sunny day can often turn into a massive storm in a matter of minutes.
- Watch for hunting signs in France, written as chasseurs or ‘chasse garden’ and indicating a hunting area.
