9 Classic walks around the world

Embark on an unforgettable 155km pilgrimage along the spiritual Camino-Frances trail in Spain. A patchwork of undulating green countryside stretches as far as the eye can see, and rural farmland snakes past medieval villages. Sample gastronomic delights en route with local delicacies such as Melide's famous 'pulpo a la Gallega octopus' and make a toast to a fun day on the trail with delicious local wines. Santiago Cathedral marks the final destination of this holy journey, but the memories of this unique trail are never-ending.

Climb to the highest point of Africa on our scenic Lemosho Trek up Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Follow your expert local mountain guide as you hike through the lush forests, grassy moors and volcanic rock fields of this iconic walk. On summit day, we rise early and wind our way up the steep scree-strewn sides of the crater under the cover of darkness to the crater rim. As we reach the top, our efforts are rewarded with a breath-taking view of the sun rising above the clouds below us; a sight you'll never forget. 

This challenging nine-day Annapurnas Trek in Nepal is not for the faint-hearted, but its dazzling show of majestic mountains and snow-dusted peaks lure walkers in for an adventure of a lifetime. Far removed from fast-paced modern life, nature is the star of the show here. Mighty valleys carve their way towards the vast natural amphitheatre of Nepal's Annapurna Sanctuary, and colourful prayer flags dance in the swirling winds. 

Hike across Italy, Switzerland and France on this 148 kilometre Mont Blanc walking tour. One of Europe's most spectacular treks, this challenging eight-day route is ideal for experienced walkers looking to stretch their legs and take on a challenge. Emerald-green meadows rise up out of alpine valleys, and rocky passes stretch across altitudes of over 2,500 metres offering panoramic views over towering snow-covered mountain peaks. 

Patagonia's W trek, so-called because of the trail's w-shaped route across the Torres del Paine valleys, takes you from the pristine glacial waters of Lago Grey to the three iconic jagged pinnacles of Paine Towers. Hike along the shores of luminescent turquoise lagoons, scramble up steep rocky ascents and walk in the shadow of towering granite peaks. As night falls, we'll retreat to a mountain refuge campsite, top up the energy reserves and reminisce about the day's spectacular sights before another action-packed day tomorrow.
