Family Adventures

We have a range of adventures to suit families with children as young as 2. On many of our self guided cycling trips we arrange bike trailers which accommodate up to 2 children to a maximum of 40-60kgs (depending on specifications), and trail-a-bikes for 4-9 year olds. Our self guided walks are suitable for active children from 8 years old, while our guided Mont Blanc Family Adventure is available to children from 7 years. Discounts are usually available for children under 12 years when sharing a room with two adults.

Here are a few of our trips which are particularly suited to families:-

  • Treasures of Tuscany - choose from a 7 or 11 day self guided walk from Voterra to Siena or Florence. The Tuscan countryside is perfect for rambling with the family. Children as young as 8 can join in this trip.
  • Volcanoes of Sicily - take the family to explore the Aeolian Islands and the stunning volcanoes of Stromboli and Etna. As the trip involves day walks there is flexibility. Unfortunately the climb of Stromboli is not considered suitable for children.
  • Danube Cycle trips - Our boat based cycle trips and the section between Passau and Vienna are ideal for children. Following the Danube cycle path the route is generally flat and perfect for taking in the scenery and the many castles and monuments that overlook the river.

This is just a sampler of what we can offer families. If you would like more details contact us.

Heady heights of the Via Ferrate
The breathtaking pinnacles of the Dolomites are well known to climbers around the world. During WWI, the Dolomite mountain range was the scene of heavy fighting and became an almost continuous front throughout the war, from Cortina d'Ampezzo in the west to the Predil Pass in the east. Making full use of their elite Alpine mountain troops, the Italians had to fix iron ladders and wire cable to the rock to enable them to fight on the vertical walls. Today these Via Ferrate 'iron ways' have been turned into recreational climbs, allowing non-climbers to discover the mountains in safety and adding a new dimension to hiking the pristine alpine wilderness of the Dolomites. Daily climbs and walks are between 3 and 6 hours depending on the fitness of the group. Nights are spent in mountain hotels sampling the specialty foods of the region. Although no previous climbing experience is required, a high level of fitness and sense of adventure is essential.  CLICK HERE for more details.
