If you’re an adventure-seeker craving the freedom to explore new landscapes at your own pace, hiking expeditions with Edusport Travel are exactly what you need. From mountain paths to scenic coastal routes, our hiking holidays offer the perfect balance of independence and challenge, all with expertly designed trails to make your experience smooth and thrilling. 

Top Tips 

  • Know Your Elevation Gain: Master the terrain by understanding the elevation ahead. Gradual climbs allow you to conserve energy, but when you’re facing a steep ascent, pacing is crucial to avoid burning out too soon. 
  • Travel Light, Travel Smart: Don’t carry unnecessary weight. Pack only the essentials – weather-appropriate clothing, quality layers, and high-calorie snacks. Be prepared for any conditions, but never weighed down by extra gear. 
  • Footwear is Everything: The right boots are your best friend. Make sure they’re broken in, fit properly, and are suited to the terrain you’re tackling. The last thing you want is sore feet derailing your trek. 
  • Hydrate and Refuel: Hydration is key, but don’t forget electrolytes to keep cramps at bay. Fuel up regularly with snacks to keep your energy up and your body in top shape. 

A self-guided hiking expedition gives you the freedom to explore on your terms. With carefully mapped routes, you’ll be able to take in the incredible scenery, explore new paths, and push yourself without the limitations of a group. The best part? You decide when to stop, explore, or challenge yourself further.

Event Information

Italy

Without a doubt, Italy remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in Western Europe, particularly as it is the centre of historical Roman-era architecture and Renaissance art, as well as the birthplace of much modern science and exploration. In fact, the country is home to a staggering 51 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the most in the world. Italy borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, and its famous ‘boot’ – where you will find Tuscany and Sicily – extends into the Mediterranean Sea. Italy is well known for its slow pace, stylish flair and incredible cuisine – gelato and pasta remain iconic foods in Italy for both locals and visitors. Visit the Pantheon and Colosseum in Rome, take in the incredible art of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica, travel along the scenic Amalfi Coast and snap a photo at the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Spain

Much like its famous tapas, Spain itself is a seductive buffet of culture-rich cities, colourful markets, traditional villages, fantastical architecture and Mediterranean beaches. From marvelling at Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces in Barcelona and exploring the museums and royal palaces of Madrid to rugged El Camino de Santiago-inspired hikes, Spain will give you countless opportunities to create the moments that move you. Embark on an off-the-beaten-track adventure into the mountainous terrain of the Basque Country. Spend lazy siestas on the uncrowded beaches of the south-west coast. Wherever you go in Spain, chase down authentic local cuisine with a jug of cold sangria and embrace the nation’s spirit of living life to the fullest.
