EXPLORE EUROPE
YOUR WAY
Cycling or walking, 2-star or 4-star, small group or self guided, land or sea – UTracks can help you explore Europe exactly the way you want.
Every year we scour Europe’s trails to develop new experiences for our travellers. This year is no exception. We’ve extended our range of European destinations with the addition of more Balkans walks: explore the untapped Via Dinarica in Bosnia; traverse the Accursed Mountains in Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania; or access Poland’s wild Tatra Mountains with a self guided walk or small group trip.
We are so proud of our Camino pilgrims, especially the growing number of octogenarians who travel these glorious paths. You are all an inspiration to us. To help with your thirst for pilgrim trails we’ve added a bundle of new ones including the Camino
Sanabres to Santiago, the Magna Via Francigena crossing Sicily, the Via Degli Dei from Bologna to Florence, and the Camino dos Faros along Spain’s rugged Atlantic coast.
There are new cycling routes on Turkey’s Lycian coast, along the French Atlantic coast and between Portugal’s Algarve and Alentejo regions. There’s also a Tuscan bike and sail trip, the Thames Path Walk, and an active family trip to Sweden with great chances of seeing the northern lights.
This brochure is just the starting point. Visit our website for our complete range of new and updated trips. Happy active travels to Europe in 2020.

UTRACKS offers self guided & small
group active holidays across Europe. We’re all about helping you explore Europe’s most iconic and untrodden paths the way you want. Whether you choose to circumnavigate Mont Blanc, cycle from castle to castle in the Loire Valley or take a walking holiday on the Camino de Santiago, UTracks aims to make Europe’s vast networks of tracks and trails accessible, achievable and affordable. UTracks began in 2006 as the specialist active European holiday division of World Expeditions, one of the world’s original adventure travel companies.
ACTIVE TRAVEL
IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE.
Step beyond the days of passive sightseeing: endless hours sitting on a coach, shouldering crowds to take photos of well worn tourist sites, being fed meals fit for tourists.
Our active travel style lets you become completely immersed in your trip.
Walk village back roads and stumble upon authentic farmers’ markets. Cycle through crisp alpine landscapes and soak up the scenery in the fresh air. Encounter locals who are genuinely happy to welcome you to their region. Feel unbridled satisfaction when you reach your destination and create more valued memories as you celebrate the journey. And, after a day of lively activity, the food and wine is so much tastier – trust us.
