Our favourite adventure holidays in Europe

When you’re in search of a thrilling holiday packed full of adventures, there’s nothing like the diverse landscapes of Europe to provide a range of activities to keep your adrenaline pumping. Lightfoot Travel’s specialists have investigated (and tried and tested) endless exciting activities throughout the continent so they can customise an incredible adventure holiday to your preferences.

Mountain walkers have plenty of options in Europe, with countless hiking trails boasting picturesque views of rocky peaks, lush valleys, and sparkling lakes. Once you’ve had enough of skiing the slopes of the Swiss Alps, try your hand at ice-climbing or mountaineering. In the hilly Andalusia region of Spain, take your pick from horse riding, canyoning or mountain biking.

If you’re looking for something closer to sea, sprinkled off the Croatian coast are deserted islands, secret coves and secluded bays, so don’t just stick to snorkelling off the beaches - grab a paddle and go on a sea-kayaking exploration.
