Exodus Travels has launched its new “Active Europe Collection.” This expanded offering includes hiking and cycling trips, and comprises over 19 new itineraries across nine European countries.
Designed for adventure enthusiasts, the new “Active Europe Collection” offers options for every skill level and interest. From the Tuscan countryside and the U.K.’s Lake District to Norway’s fjords and the Mediterranean Coast, each trip includes authentic encounters with Europe’s natural wonders. Here are the highlights of the new European collection:
- “Tuscan Hills & Chianti Wines – Premium Adventure:" On this eight-day guided tour, guests can explore the Tuscan countryside, with a stay in an exclusive villa complete with a pool and private chef. From this base, which is located near the medieval town of San Gimignano, the trip includes five days of walking and sightseeing, including visits to Florence and Siena, as well as the walled town of Certaldo. Activities include three wine-tasting experiences, as well as a visit to Brolio Castle gardens, the birthplace of Chianti wine.
- “Castles, Hadrian’s Wall & the Lake District:" Travelers can discover the forts, fells and film sets of northern England on this six-day guided trip that combines history and hiking. Highlights include a visit to Alnwick Castle, which stood in as Hogwarts in the first two “Harry Potter” movies, the Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and more. Travelers will also hike a section of Hadrian’s Wall, hike Cat Bells for views over the Lake District, and summit Helvellyn.
- “Cycling the Mediterranean Coast in Spain:”Travelers will cycle between the cities of Barcelona and Valencia on this week-long guided adventure. Traveling along the Mediterranean coast with stays at a different seafront hotel each night, the itinerary offers a mix of cycling lanes and paved roads, with only four short transfers on the cycling days.
- “Cycling the Coastal Portuguese Camino:" On this eight-day culture-cycling adventure, guests start in Porto and head north, eventually crossing into Spain and to the final stop in Santiago de Compostela. Along the way, the tour visits a string of coastal towns, and through the Galician countryside, while also collecting the stamps necessary to receive the Compostela certificate in Santiago, proof of completion of this historic pilgrimage.
- “Walking the Fjords:" On this nine-day guided hike, travelers will be immersed in Norway’s landscapes, including snow-capped mountains, steep green hillsides and waterfalls plunging into clear fjordic waters. In the fjords, guests stay in two locations—a family-run guesthouse that looks towards the Feigumfossen waterfall, and another family-run hotel on the waterfront in the town of Fjærland.
- “Cycle the Loire Valley:" On this week-long cycling adventure, travelers ride sections of the Loire à Vélo, a scenic route that tracks along the Loire River, from Blois to Saumur, past orchards, vineyards and villages. Highlights include visits to a chateau steeped in Renaissance history, stops at the vineyards of Vouvray and Chinon, and more.
As with all itineraries, Exodus Travels’ “Active Europe Collection” prioritizes sustainable and responsible travel practices, fostering a connection with local communities and minimizing the environmental impact.
