Walk, relax and enjoy your holiday your way
Our holidays are made for outdoor lovers. For trail seekers. View chasers. For those who walk for the scenery, the culture, the food, and the sheer joy of discovery.
In short, our walking holidays are for people who love to holiday just as much as they love to walk.
We don’t tell you where to go and when to move. No constant repacking, no hotel hopping, no rigid schedules. Just beautiful trails, expert-led walks in many resorts, and the freedom to explore at your own pace and enjoy everything else you love about being on holiday.
As walking specialists, we’re here to help you design your perfect trip and get the most out of your time away. With Destination Experts on hand in resort, you’ll have local insights, practical tips, and access to hidden gems, making sure your holiday is as unforgettable as the trails you’ll walk.
Walk. Relax. Holiday. Your way.
Why book your walking holiday with Inghams?
We are walking holiday experts, here to make sure every guest has an unforgettable holiday.
A holiday feeling every time
Holidays shouldn’t feel like hard work. That’s why we take care of everything, ensuring you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy as much or as little walking as you fancy.
There are handpicked hotels, top-notch food & drink, friendly Destination Experts on-hand and plenty of culture and activities to get stuck into.
And because all our expertly crafted holidays are Stay & Walk, you’ll have one comfy, familiar hotel to call home for the whole of your trip.
Best of all, you’ll come back refreshed and rewarded, feeling like you’ve had a proper holiday. Just the way it should be.
Destinations in depth
Feel like a local as you get stuck into the very best of Europe. And we don’t just mean the scenery.
Fancy trying the local delicacies? We’ll point you in the right direction.
Feel like exploring the nearby village? We can show you the highlights.
The result is a richer, more rewarding experience, with our Destination Experts on hand to share everything your chosen area has to offer. Nobody knows your destination better - and nobody’s happier to help you enjoy it to the full.
Award winning service for 90 years
When you travel with us, you’ll feel the difference that outstanding service can make. The reassurance of knowing you always have someone who can help (we’re available 24/7 during your holiday) means you’re free to enjoy every moment.
We’ve got the silverware to back it up too, with our Feefo Platinum Service Award and Which? recommendations. But for us it’s not about the awards, it’s about giving you a relaxing, rewarding and unforgettable feeling – a holiday you’ll want to take over and over again.
Take it in your stride
As much or as little walking as you like - with options for every level, from gentle stroller to seasoned hiker and everyone in between. It means you’re free to explore your destination in a way that feels just right.
There are guided options in many resorts, letting you discover your route with an extra helping of local knowledge. And if you choose self-guided, our Destination Experts can offer personalised recommendations and help you discover the routes you’ll find most rewarding.
Above all, and however easy (or hard) you want to take it, this is about walking for pleasure, not an expedition or an endurance test.
We're the whole package
It’s simple. With a package holiday, everything’s sorted (and protected by ABTA and ATOL) including travel, transfers, accommodation and expert advice tailored to you.
The sheer convenience makes it worth it, but here’s the best bit: think of us like your own personal team of specialists, available over the phone, via email, social or live chat to answer as many questions as you can think of.
We’re a close-knit team with over 90 years of experience behind us, and lots of staff who live in our resorts, all ready to tailor your trip and make sure your holiday is perfect.
