Active Family Holidays with luggage transfers

Getting outside and staying active with your family can be quite a challenge, especially in today's digital age where screens often take up our time. However, there's nothing quite as fulfilling as embarking on a cycling or walking adventure with your loved ones in the great outdoors. Europe boasts an array of cycle paths and walking trails, offering numerous opportunities for creating lasting memories. Whether it's enjoying ice creams, setting up picnics, or indulging in little treats, these simple pleasures take on a special significance when you've earned them through physical activity.

Our selection of active family holidays has been carefully curated with the specific needs of children and young adults in mind. We prioritize factors such as the family-friendliness of the routes and the suitability of hotels for children. Moreover, our family cycle tours provide child-specific bikes, ensuring that every member of the family can enjoy a comfortable and safe ride.

Similarly, our walking tours are thoughtfully designed to offer the ideal level of challenge for young feet, making the experience both enjoyable and manageable for the whole family.

Cycling and walking holidays are particularly advantageous for families because they offer numerous benefits. Firstly, they provide an opportunity for quality bonding time, away from the distractions of daily life. Cycling together fosters communication, cooperation, and shared experiences, strengthening family bonds.

Secondly, cycling and walking promote physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. It's an excellent way for both parents and children to stay active, and it can serve as an introduction to an active lifestyle for younger family members. The scenic routes in Europe also make physical exercise enjoyable, as you explore new landscapes and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

Our active holiday services

Why book an active family holiday with us

For active families

Our active holidays with children bring families closer to nature through activities during the day.

Included activities

Our cycling and walking holidays range from utterly relaxed to pushing individual boundaries. We ensure that every participant receives the best experience to suit their abilities, but there might be times when you need to go outside your comfort zone. All of our activities are human-powered too!

Family time together

Due to the increasingly hectic pace of our daily lives, enjoying shared experiences as a family is becoming a rarity. With our family holidays, we want to change that with our active holidays that give families a chance to experience organised activities in the outdoors together to create shared memories.

Planning taken care of

For many of our included activities, we leave our guests free to choose what they would like to do that day. All essential information is provided in your detailed travel documents and questions can be asked before your arrival.

Nature and sustainability

We take our sustainability efforts seriously. We are proud that our active holidays hardly use any fossil fuels and only have a small impact on the environment. Except for the outward and return journeys which are organised by customers, our trips have very low CO2 emissions.

Holiday types

We feature three different holiday types for our active holidays. On individual tours, you have complete freedom to organise the day as you wish. We offer luggage transport for our cycling and hiking tours and your family’s bag will arrive at the next hotel each day.
