Hiking Tour Du Mont Blanc, France, Switzerland, Italy
The Tour Du Mont Blanc covers a distance of about 170 kilometres and takes in three countries France, Switzerland and Italy in a loop around Mont Blanc. There are valleys to walk through as well as long stretches high up in the mountains with mountain passes to cross. The first known person to walk around this area was in 1767 although it is possible that Hannibal used the pass, the Col De La Seigne when he crossed the alps with his elephants. It is impossible to describe the beauty of the mountains which have to be seen to be believed and the best way to see them is …
The Cotswold Way is a National Trail footpath which runs along the Cotswold Edge Escarpment of the Cotswold Hills in south west England. It runs from the town of Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire down to the ancient Roman city of Bath. It was a long distance footpath for a number of years, but officially became a National Trail in May 2007.
Along its route, the trail passes through many interesting places, a few of which are:
Stroud — a very arty town, known for its cloth and wool trade, and also for its involvement in the Industrial Revolution.
Painswick — an extremely picturesque and quaint small town famous for its wool trade.
Winchcombe – containing the famous Sudeley Castle …
The ancient Lycian way starts in the Mediterranean resort of Kas which is known for its rocky coastline and unpolluted waters.
On your Turkey walking holiday you will find the beaches of this region perfect for relaxing before you begin your walk along the Lycian trail. However, historically the city offers much more than perfect sandy beaches for sunbathing. Here you can join a glass-bottomed boat tour to the ancient sunken cities around Kekova Island where the secrets of ancient civilisations lurk out of reach. Not so out of reach are the ancient archaeological sites of Myra, Demre and the Xanthe Valley which give you the opportunity to walk around Turkey’s ancient past. Myra was the …
Firstly let’s talk about Porters. Most people trekking in tour groups, or treks organised by tour operators will be offered a Porter and I see quite a few people’s faces screw up when asked if they want one. Now the one thing I need to ask you is if you are not training for some marathon trekking expedition, why wouldn’t you use a Porter? Firstly, it is giving somebody a job that otherwise may not be able to feed their family more than a bowl of rice that week, and secondly isn’t it your holiday? So why are you putting yourself through hell!

All regions of Morocco can be trekked if you want adventure. Unfortunately, some regions of Morocco require summer trekking experiences. Jbel Toubkal is the highest mountain peak in the Atlas Mountains. The higher elevations experience heavy snow fall during winter. It can also turn very cold up there during the evenings. For this reason Morocco tours will hike the mountain at certain parts of the year.
This is only a concern for individuals wanting the ultimate adventure. Anyone who is visiting Morocco to soak up culture can find Morocco trekking all year. These types of tours can be day hikes, overnight treks, and even a few days out in the mountainous regions of the country.
One of …
