- Best of Montenegro - Self-Guided Multiactivity Adventure inc. hiking, cycling, rafting, kayaking
Our family holiday with 3e Travel in Montenegro was an unforgettable experience! The team was exceptional, always going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our kids absolutely adored them! From the moment we arrived at our first accommodation to our final evening, everything was seamlessly organized and perfectly suited for all ages. The mix of activities like cycling, hiking, and tailored family adventures were thoughtfully curated and fun for everyone. A special highlight was the boat trip to a hidden beach on Lake Skadar – the kids had a blast swimming, and we enjoyed the delicious fish. We can't recommend 3e Travel enough for an amazing, family-friendly adventure in Montenegro. Thanks for the incredible memories!

What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Europe
What are the best hiking trails in Europe for various skill levels?
European trails cater to hikers of all experience levels with varied terrain and distances. The Amalfi Coast paths offer moderate walks of 10-12km daily through coastal villages. For seasoned hikers the Tour du Mont Blanc presents a more rigorous challenge with 23km daily routes and 1000m elevation gains. The Lycian Way in Turkey provides easier terrain covering 14-16km each day while the E5 route between Germany and Italy tests endurance with daily climbs exceeding 2500m. A TourRadar traveler shared about the Amalfi Coast: "The walks were just about right - distance elevation etc all punctuated with stops at the best cake shops and gelaterias."
What is the best time of year for hiking in Europe considering weather and trail conditions?
Hiking seasons shift across European regions. The Alps welcome hikers from June through September when snow clears from passes and mountain huts open. Mediterranean areas like the Amalfi Coast and Greek islands offer pleasant conditions during spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) with fewer crowds. A TourRadar traveler noted about Greece: "The weather was perfect in May with stunning wildflowers in bloom and ideal hiking conditions." The intense heat of July and August makes hiking difficult in southern regions.
What accommodation can I expect on European hiking tours?
Lodging options range from basic to upscale across hiking regions. Alpine trails feature mountain refuges and local hotels like Hotel Regina at Lake Como. Greek island routes include nights in village guesthouses and family homes. The E5 Alpine crossing combines mountain huts with modern hotels. According to a TourRadar traveler in Corfu: "The family-run Hotel Santa Lucia provided comfortable rooms with elegant decor in typical Mediterranean style located perfectly near hiking trails and the seafront."
How physically demanding are hiking tours in Europe?
Physical requirements vary by trail. The Lycian Way includes moderate 14-16km daily walks with elevation gains between 500-800m. Alpine paths like Tour du Mont Blanc demand more stamina with 23km daily hikes and elevation changes over 1000m at high altitudes. Amalfi Coast paths offer gentler 10-12km routes. One TourRadar traveler said: "The Tour du Mont Blanc required good fitness levels but our guide ensured a comfortable pace with plenty of scenic rest stops. Walking poles were essential for the steep sections."
What equipment and clothing should I pack for a European hiking tour?
Key items include well-worn hiking boots waterproof outerwear layered clothing with thermal base layers hiking poles and a daypack (30-40L). Tour du Mont Blanc requires mountain-specific gear while Camino routes need lighter equipment. A TourRadar traveler suggested: "Pack smart layers for the Alps - we experienced rain sun and near-freezing temperatures on Monte Rosa Glacier. Good boots and poles were essential."
How does luggage transport work on European hiking tours?
Most tours transport main luggage between stops letting hikers carry just daily essentials. Tour du Mont Blanc moves bags (15kg limit) except at mountain refuges. The Camino provides daily transfers between hotels. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The luggage service was flawless - our bags were always waiting at the next hotel letting us enjoy the hiking without heavy packs."
