If you are traveling with a partner there are usually a range of other activities available to cater for your non-participating partner alternatively if you are traveling alone some tour operators cater for single travelers.

Walking Holidays

There are walking holidays on the market to suit all abilities from beginners to experienced walkers. Tours vary from gentle walks that combine walking with other activities such as photography, biking and canoing. If you lead a reasonably active life and are in good health then you can usually enjoy gentle walking holidays without any prior experience. If you want to go on intermediate walks you are usually required to have previous hill or mountain walking experience. Tougher walks are better suited to fit and experienced mountain walkers.

You will be spoilt for choice when choosing where to walk. When deciding on a destination pay particular attention to the climate and endurance you will need if you are walking at altitude. Some walking tours include camping but there are also multiple walking holidays that offer accommodation in lodges, inns or hotels.
