Planning your Hiking trip to Europe in 2026

Where to go trekking in Europe

You can experience the legendary Camino de Santiago in Spain, venture through the Alpine scenery of the Dolomites in Italy, or explore the rugged landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. Each destination offers its own unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Why is Europe great for trekking?

Europe is a premier trekking destination because of its vast array of landscapes, well-maintained trail networks, and deep historical roots. From the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland to the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean, the continent offers trails suitable for all levels of trekkers and an infrastructure that supports easy access to both remote and popular areas.

When to trek in Europe

The best time to go trekking in Europe varies by region but generally, the most favorable seasons are spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and the landscapes are at their most picturesque. Summer offers good conditions too but can be crowded, especially in popular destinations.
