We don’t offer trips to colder climates during the winter month as routes in these destinations close due to weather conditions making them less safe. We recommend heading to warmer destinations like those in the Mediterranean. While their forecasts are cooler, they’re still warmer than the likes of Iceland or Switzerland! As these months are technically ‘off-season’ they’re typically quieter. So, you can expect to experience serene landscapes while hiking in mild temperatures.
If you’re planning your own snowy winter walking adventure, essential gear includes insulated boots, waterproof clothing, thermal layers, gloves, a hat, walking poles, and a good quality backpack.
If you’re heading for some winter sun with us, then we recommend layers, sunglasses, SPF, walking poles and a good quality backpack.
