France ~ Follow the Shepherds Trails in the Cevennes and Grands Causses 

The Cévennes, a rugged and historic region in southern France, is a land shaped by its people, traditions, and striking landscapes. Our walking holiday in the Cévennes is based in a beautifully restored 12th-century château, offering 4-star comfort, an indoor and outdoor pool, and a renowned restaurant serving classic French cuisine and wines.

From this charming base, we walk on ancient drovers’ trails through high pastures and dramatic limestone gorges, where vultures circle overhead. We explore medieval sites, sample local sheep’s cheese, and take a boat journey through the Tarn Gorge. The combination of spectacular scenery, rich cultural history, and a superb hotel makes this a perfect single centre walking holiday.

Menorca - Island Walks for Birds, Flowers and Prehistoric Taulas

Menorca’s unspoiled landscapes, diverse wildlife, and fascinating history make it a superb destination for a cultural walking holiday. We stay for a week in a delightful first-class 14th-century manor house, set on a 250-hectare private estate leading down to the sea, with a swimming pool and an excellent restaurant serving some of the finest cuisine available on this quietest of the Balearic Islands.

Each day’s walk takes us through a different side of the island, from pine-scented trails leading to secluded coves to clifftop paths with breathtaking sea views. Along the way, we visit prehistoric taulas and talayots, explore the historic towns of Ciutadella and Mahón, and sample Menorca’s famous local wines and gin. This relaxed walking holiday in Menorca combines gentle walks with cultural discoveries, all while enjoying the comfort of a first-class base.

Switzerland - Walks and Music at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival

For those who love alpine landscapes and world-class music, our walking holiday in the Alps is an ideal choice. Based in a 5-star hotel in the picturesque village of Schönried, overlooking Gstaad, this trip blends gentle high-altitude walks with unforgettable musical performances at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival.

Each morning, we take gondolas or mountain railways up to scenic trails with panoramic views of the Alps. Afternoons are free to relax by the one of the two heated pools, soak up the sun on the terrace, or browse Gstaad’s world class boutiques. Evenings are dedicated to outstanding concerts, with early dinners at the hotel before short transfers to the concert venues. Staying in one luxurious hotel throughout the trip ensures a stress-free and indulgent experience, making this a truly special single centre walking holiday.

One of our clients sums it up perfectly here:

"One of the many perks of this trip was being settled in a five star hotel for the duration of the trip, not living out of a suitcase, and yet still being able to hike among the many slopes where every turn in the trail revealed to us a new and majestic vista."
