Trek & Walk: Beyond the Weekend Stroll

Designed for fit weekend walkers, our moderate trekking holidays elevate your typical hiking experience without venturing into expedition territory. Expect to walk 4-8 hours daily on well-established paths, with the rewarding challenge of some more significant ascents and descents—sometimes reaching 1000+ meters, but often less demanding.

These journeys might take you to breathtaking heights between 3000-4500 meters, where the thin air adds a satisfying challenge to your achievement. Occasional higher passes might involve walking on snow, adding variety to your adventure.

From the ancient pathways of Peru's Inca Trail to the stunning Alpine routes connecting charming European villages, these moderate treks deliver the perfect balance of challenge and accessibility.

Cycling: Two Wheels, Countless Discoveries

Our moderate cycling adventures cater to weekend cyclists looking for an engaging challenge rather than a gruelling test of endurance. Primarily following paved roads, forest tracks, and gravel paths, you'll cover impressive daily distances—up to 60 kilometers on adventure cycling tours or 80 kilometers on road-focused itineraries.

The undulating terrain provides a natural rhythm to your journey, with occasional longer, steeper climbs that reward your effort with spectacular views and exhilarating descents. These adventures might take you through the rolling vineyards of Tuscany, along Vietnam's dramatic coastline, or through the charming villages of Provence.

What sets these journeys apart is the perfect balance of physical engagement and cultural immersion. You'll work up a healthy appetite for local cuisine and earn those spectacular viewpoints, all while maintaining energy to truly appreciate each destination.

Family Adventures: Creating Shared Memories

Our moderate family adventure holidays are crafted for fitter families who already enjoy outdoor activities together. These holidays invite you and your children to embark on shared challenges—perhaps walking for consecutive days or enjoying the novelty of a night under canvas.

While most days remain accessible for young adventurers, the occasional more challenging day adds excitement and a sense of achievement that builds confidence and creates lasting memories. Imagine your family conquering a panoramic viewpoint in the Pyrenees, spotting wildlife while trekking in Costa Rica's forests, or navigating a moderate kayaking route along Croatia's stunning coastline.

These adventures transform family holidays from passive experiences to active journeys of discovery, where shared challenges strengthen bonds and create stories you'll recount for years to come.

Winter Adventures: Beyond the Ski Slopes

When winter blankets the landscape, our moderate winter adventures offer an invigorating alternative to traditional downhill skiing. Designed for reasonably fit individuals—perhaps weekend walkers or recreational skiers seeking something different—these holidays reveal the magic of snow-covered landscapes through activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or winter hiking.

The beauty of these moderate winter experiences is their accessibility—in most cases, no previous experience is required, just a reasonable level of fitness and an enthusiasm for crisp winter air. From traversing the silent forests of Finland on snowshoes to gliding along groomed cross-country trails in the Dolomites, these adventures offer a fresh perspective on winter's wonder.
