Our Guided Walking Holidays
The majority of our guided walking holidays offer a choice of walks each day, so there’s something for everyone. In the UK there’ll usually be three different walks on offer: an Easier, Medium and Harder route. In Europe there are usually two walks, an Easier and Harder route.
The difficulty of the walk depends on the location and is often determined by the amount of ascent in the walk, rather than the distance. You’ll find individual walks details – including distance and ascent, on our holiday web pages.
We tend to be away from the hotel from approx 9.30am – 5pm. On some days you’ll walk direct from your accommodation, whilst on others we’ll use a coach or minibus to reach the walk (in Europe we may use a chairlift or cable car to get higher into the mountains).
Our Self-Guided Walking Holidays
You’ll find a Discovery Point at all of our UK country houses. These contain a great range of walks – anything from 2 to 15 miles.
All our walk directions have been prepared by experienced leaders and contain detailed route notes, photographs and an annotated map.
Our Special Interest Holidays
We operate a wide range of holidays, most are open to all levels - from beginners to the more experienced. Others are designed for a certain level of experience or skill. This information is given in our brochures and on our website. It’s worth spending a bit of time selecting a holiday that is right for you.
Brexit advice from ABTA
ABTA has said that there's nothing to suggest that you won't be able to continue with your holiday plans after Brexit. Even in a no-deal scenario. HF Holidays have been arranging travel for more than 100 years and are fully bonded members of ATOL, so when you book with us, you get complete peace of mind. There's no benefit to booking after Brexit - our prices won't change as there will be no surcharges added to our prices, but by booking early with us you're guaranteed the best price and the widest choice of holiday dates.
