Walking vacations with Sherpa

Sherpa have been offering walking vacations in some of the most scenic and beautiful parts of Europe and the world for the best part of 30 years. The key to Sherpa walking vacations is flexibility and freedom. You can normally start your walking vacation on any day during the season, and build in extra days where you desire, for resting or sightseeing.

Unlike many other walking vacations, with Sherpa you set your own pace as you are not limited by the constraints of group travel. You are free to shorten or lengthen your walk as the terrain permits and can even take a day off! Unless it is necessary, carrying a large backpack is not a feature of Sherpa walking vacations. All of our walks have back-up support. Your baggage will be moved by the hoteliers or our own support vehicle.

We offer three types of walking vacations from which to choose.

Self-guided Inn to Inn walking vacations
These follow a linear or circular route, staying at hotels or country inns, as you are walking independently you are free to follow the trail at your own pace. Your bags are moved on to the next hotel each day so you can enjoy your walking vacation knowing that your baggage will be waiting for you at your next night's accommodation.

The hotels are chosen for their accessibility to the trail and for the warmth of their welcome. Many of our hoteliers are keen walkers themselves and take an active and helpful interest in our clients' walking vacations.

Escorted group walking vacations
These tours explore the world's most beautiful mountain regions. Our walking vacations are either based in small hotels, mountain huts and refuges, or you may have the chance to sleep out under the stars. It is the terrain that dictates where we stay rather than the facilities, but we always seek a blend of ambiance and comfort.

Most of our camping treks are assisted by a support vehicle so you have little to carry. Meals vary from walk to walk - some nights we dine in camp, others we eat in local restaurants. Walking vacation groups number between 6 and 15 people and are international in flavour, from North America to New Zealand. Whether camping or staying in charming village pensions and tavernas, the experience will bring you closer to your fellow travelers and the local culture you are visiting.

Walking vacations in Britain
We are proud to present our tenth year of walking vacations in our homeland, Britain. All the walks offer rocky coastline, rolling hillsides and/or craggy mountains. Our aim is to include all the elements that make up this green and pleasant isle in one great walking vacation.

We've designed our independent walking vacations that enable the visitor to sample the countryside and the history of Britain. Our routes bring alive the descriptions of writers like Wordsworth and Thomas Hardy. You may visit places where Roman legions marched and fierce battles were waged. Dramatic scenery, castles, historic churches nestled amongst wild flowers, sleepy villages: these are all integral parts of a walking vacation in Britain.
