Where we go
Destinations
8 destinations, 8 routes, 27 departures this season.
Dolomites
Pale limestone walls, hut-to-hut traverses, and the strange pink light the Italians call enrosadira. A short season, but a serious one.
Best: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep
Kyoto & Nara
Two former capitals within an hour of each other, between them a thousand years of temples, gardens, and the slow ritual of tea.
Best: Mar, Apr, May, Oct, Nov
Patagonia
Wind, granite, and ice. The Torres del Paine massif is the headline, but the steppe on either side earns its own day.
Best: Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar
Morocco
From the souks of Marrakech up into the High Atlas, then south through palm oases to the dunes of the western Sahara.
Best: Mar, Apr, May, Sep, Oct, Nov
Iceland
Waterfalls, black sand, glaciers, and a coastline that changes mood every hour. The south coast is the most rewarding single week in the country.
Best: May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep
Scottish Highlands
The west coast is the real Highlands — sea lochs, white beaches, a single distillery at the end of the road. We pace it around the weather.
Best: Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep
Northern Vietnam
The far north is the real Vietnam for a walker — rice terraces around Sapa, the karst road over the Ma Pi Leng pass, a private junk on the bay.
Best: Sep, Oct, Nov, Mar, Apr
Andalusia
Seville to Granada through the white towns of the Grazalema park — sherry, market mornings, and a walk between two villages.
Best: Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Sep, Oct
