Orpheus Mountains - Bulgaria

Passing through some of the most spectacular parts of the Rodopi Mountains (the Trigrad Gorge, Yagodina Cave, The Miraculous Bridges and so on), this trip gives you the opportunity to explore the mountains without being escorted by a guide. Pre-arranged accommodation and luggage transportation during the whole trip ensures you enjoy walking through the wilderness of the mythical Orpheus' native lands. The trail gives breathtaking views over high rocky cliffs, dense woods, alpine meadows and the tiny villages where tradition is kept alive.

 

 

La Gomera - Spain

A circular self guided walk around the remarkable Canarian island of La Gomera. It's a lanscape of forest covered moutains, deep gorges and everpresent sea views.


Catalonia - Spain

From the coast to the mountains, from sea to crag, from sandy beach to shady Mediterranean forest - the diverse and changing natural landscapes exert a powerful attraction to walkers. To walk here is a revelation.

This walking trail holiday has been specifically deigned to reveal many aspects of this beautiful part of Catalonia; you will walk along the "wild coast" with its miles of coastal cliffs, solitary beaches and coves with crystal clear water. You will walk inland through the Aiguamolls Nature Reserve where innumerable seabirds and songbirds have settled. You will walk up mountain trails offering spectacular views sweeping far into the Pyrenees.

 

Alpujarras - Spain

Tiny villages are linked by a network of ancient Caminos Reales, centuries old pathways kept open by royal decree and which are still used to this day by the mules taking farmers to their work. The Mediterranean glistens some 15 miles to the south and the magnificent towering snow capped heights of the Sierra Nevada look down on the fertile terraces from almost 11.000 feet above.

 

Tour of Bucegi and Piatra Craiului Mountains - Romania

Transylvania is surrounded by The Carpathians Mountains. The unspoilt mountains with sharp rock edges, large forests, beautiful fauna and flora make us feel like there is nothing else more pleasant and relaxing than trekking its paths.

 

Hunt the Highest Peaks- Romania

Moldoveanu Peak (2,544 m / 8,349 ft) situated in Fagaras Massif is the highest peak in Transylvania Mountains. In Romania there are more than 20 peaks above 2500 m and this is your opportunity to reach three of them. All three in just one week. Fagaras, Piatra Craiului and Bucegi Massifs are the three most different destinations we are offering you, thinking about the views, the rock types, and all these in just one week-time.

 

Inn to Inn Walking Tour - Slovenia

According to a legend a white chamois (Gold Horn) lived high up in the mountain in a magical garden. The Gold Horn guarded a treasure that greedy men wanted to get their hands on. One day a hunter set out to kill the Gold Horn and to claim the treasure. The greedy hunter tracked down the Chamois with the golden horn and wounded him with the gun. The Chamois was so furious that a human wanted to kill him and steal his treasure that he plugged his way through the mountains with his golden horn and was never seen again. This is how the Trenta valley was made. The treasure of the Gold horn still remains undiscovered somewhere in the Julian Alps. People still today come to the Julian Alps to seek the treasure but discover a different treasure, a treasure of natural beauty.

 


Spectacular Hiking in the Julian Alps – Slovenia

The Julian Alps jagged snow capped peaks, culminating in Mt. Triglav at 9,394 ft., contrast with fertile valleys full of colour and activity. The Karst limestone landscape creates a fascinating plethora of caves, underground rivers cascading out of rock faces, dramatic waterfalls, high cliffs and narrow steep gorges. The valleys are full of meadows, cornfields, hopfields, orchards and vegetable gardens and of course wildflowers are everywhere. The delightful enchanting villages have colourful window boxes and the area has everything needed for a superb mountain walking holiday.
