Europe

All the countries of mainland Europe, including the islands of the Mediterranean and Atlantic are included within this section. From Scandinavia to Sicily, and from Madeira to the Greek Islands, there are year-round opportunities for walking, even in the winter months. In winter, ski touring and snowshoeing can be enjoyed in the Alps, while walkers relish the gentle warmth of southern European destinations such as Mallorca and the Canary Islands. When summer arrives the entire Alpine chain from the Maritime Alps to the Julian Alps becomes a playground for walkers and trekkers, whether on circular day walks or lengthy treks such as the GR5 or the Swiss Alpine Pass Route.
