Planning adventurous holidays in Europe can feel overwhelming, especially with kids in tow; but it doesn’t have to be.
This collection of itineraries is built from real journeys we’ve taken: hut to hut hikes, multi day bike rides, and train-based adventures across the Alps and beyond.
Everything here is fun, active, and practical, with just the right amount of challenge but plenty of down time built in too. Most trips are family-friendly, a few are best enjoyed without kids, and all are designed to help you see more of Europe without rushing through it.
