Hiking Difficulty

All our hiking vacations are suitable for anyone with good levels of fitness, though some are more challenging than others. Many of our clients are 60+, are some of the best walkers and thoroughly enjoy our routes. There are often rest days built in, and ways to shorten walks. Please get in touch for full details.
