Self-guided hotel-to-hotel walking routes scattered across Europe, from Portugal to Turkey and from Andalucia to England, often in little-known regions. All routes are designed by local people, and are graded to offer something for all types of walker, from the experienced hiker to the Sunday stroller. Your accommodation is likely to be small, charming and friendly, often special, rarely luxurious. Your luggage will be transported from one accommodation to await your arrival at the next, so you need only carry a light day pack.

This trip introduces walkers to the glory of the Italian Lakes – specifically Lake Maggiore and its lesser-known companion, Lake Orta. See the glamorous lakeside spots as well as off-the-beaten-track areas, and the Franciscan chapels of Sacro Monte. Savour the region's slow-food cuisine and little-known Alto Piemonte wines.
A eight-night self-guided hike from Spoleto, southwards through the Sabine Hills.
A self-guided hike through the unspoilt Karst from the Slovenian capital Ljubljana to the Habsburg port of Trieste, taking in the Postojna and Skocjan cave systems too. Farmhouse stays, and local food.
This is the true centre of Basque culture - the well-kept villages of the western Pyrenees, a border zone with strong French influences too. Be prepared for a unique and somewhat incomprehensible language, and an outgoing friendliness resulting from the pride of being born Basque.
A self-guided walking holiday in the foothills of the Julian Alps, finishing with a visit to Lake Bled.
