General information about walking holidays
A walking holiday is an active trip where you explore nature, villages and places of interest on foot. At Travel2Move, we offer various walking tours with luggage transport included.
A hut-to-hut hiking trip is a multi-day mountain walk where you hike to a different mountain hut each day and stay overnight there. Instead of hotels, you sleep in simple and atmospheric huts, often surrounded by nature or high in the mountains.
While a walking holiday with luggage transport focuses mainly on comfort, a hut-to-hut trip is more adventurous and pure: you usually carry your own backpack, follow well-marked mountain trails and experience the landscape up close. Meals are often provided in the huts and the routes are carefully planned.
A walking holiday is suitable for anyone with a basic level of fitness. There are routes for beginners, experienced walkers and mountain hikers. You choose your own pace and difficulty level, with options ranging from flat landscapes to hilly or mountainous areas.
A basic level of fitness is sufficient for most walking holidays. To prepare well, it is advisable to walk longer distances regularly in the weeks before departure.
In light rain, you can usually continue walking with proper rain gear. In case of extreme weather, it is often possible to skip a day or choose a shorter route.
For most multi-day walking holidays, luggage transport is included and your luggage is transferred daily to the next accommodation. This means you only walk with a light day backpack. Please check the details of your specific trip, as this may vary depending on the itinerary.
Yes, the routes are clearly marked and provided with a route booklet, map and/or GPS file. This allows you to navigate independently using signposts, GPS or an app.
