Hiking Getaway for Couples | Eurohike Hiking Blog

When the Trails Are All Yours Again

Do you know that feeling? Between barbecue parties, outdoor movies, open-air concerts, warm summer nights, swimming, refreshing cocktails, and boat rides on the lake, the summer months seem to fly by. When the heat of summer fades, the gentle calm of the quiet season settles in. The first leaves turn golden, and mountain huts, beaches, and hiking trails grow peaceful and still. We believe this is the perfect time for a getaway for two.

A Late-Summer Escape for Two Is Always a Great Idea

Fewer travelers, more peace and quiet

Pleasant milder temperatures

A vibrant palette of colors from green to orange to red

Quality time together, away from the crowds

So, the question is: where should your journey lead? Some of our destinations are true late-summer paradises. Nature welcomes you with a vibrant, atmospheric palette of colors, while the sea and lakes remain warmed by the summer sun. With a bit of luck, you can take a refreshing dip in the sparkling waters or linger in picturesque coves, all to yourself. It’s the perfect time to relax, breathe deeply and soak it all in.

Majorca: Where Island Romance Meets Wanderlust

Experience a true dream vacation on the sunny island of Majorca. Wander leisurely from finca to finca, savor traditional Majorcan cuisine, and unwind beneath pine trees as the sun sets over the sea in glowing shades of orange and red. Or perhaps you'd prefer to check into the charming finca hotel Es Port and embark on unforgettable hikes right from this peaceful retreat. The west coast of Majorca is full of spectacular highlights—like a coastal hike to the stunning bay of Sa Calobra, followed by a relaxed boat ride along the shoreline back to Port Sóller. For adventurous couples seeking a bit more of a challenge, we recommend exploring both the coastline and the island’s scenic interior on the GR221 long-distance trail or the Trans Tramuntana route. Both lead you through the breathtaking landscapes of the Tramuntana Mountains, a truly unforgettable backdrop for a hiking getaway together.

Travel Story Trans Tramuntana

My first Team-Member-on-Tour hiking travel takes me to a hiking holiday on Majorca. Although I've visited the island before, I’m excited for this diverse hiking journey. Since becoming a Travel Specialist for this region at the start of the year, I've spent a lot of time getting to know the island. The more I learned about Majorca, the more captivated I became by its beautiful hiking areas. This growing fascination has only been fueled by the exceptionally positive feedback from our guests. On my last visit, I focused primarily on Majorca’s popular landmarks and well-known spots. That’s why I knew I had to return to the largest Balearic island, this time to explore its rugged landscapes and unique coastlines. It's the end of September, just before the season ends. My partner and I packed our bags and set off full of energy and anticipation for our hiking adventure Majorca – Trans Tramuntana.

Travel story Majorca: On the sunny long-distance hiking trail GR221

Fall has arrived, and there's eager anticipation within the marketing team as we await the announcement of the upcoming hiking and cycling tours. It takes just under 5 minutes to finalize my preferences for the next Team Member-on-Tour experiences: either crossing of the Alps on the E5 or the new route on Majorca along the GR221 trail. Following my unforgettable island adventure in the hiker's paradise Tenerife last year, the allure of the fresh journey, nestled between mountains and sea, is undeniable. Having grown up amidst the mountainous landscapes of the Salzburg region, the contrasts of the last tour overwhelmed me. The harmonious blend of rugged mountain ranges, the sea, and the laid-back southern lifestyle is an ideal escape. In celebration of our birthdays in April, my dad and I are embarking on the sunny island adventure. So, it's time to board the plane and immerse ourselves in our hiking holiday in Majorca!

Spring Hiking on Mallorca

The beautiful Mediterranean island of Mallorca has inspired me again and again for many years. Not only the uncomplicated and quick arrival, but also the wonderful Mediterranean nature, the stunning hiking paths, the uncomparable cuisine and the typical charm of the island – this is what makes for a perfect, active break in the South in my view. I am all the happier to be able to experience together with my husband our new hiking holiday on Mallorca’s West coast with Charm. Hiking tours based in one hotel offer many advantages and we are spared the daily change of hotels – that way we have even more time to experience, enjoy and relax during our hiking holiday. And after all, there are plenty of opportunities for this on the Balearic island. What we were able to experience on our hiking holiday in Mallorca, which hiking tours particularly impressed us and what our personal highlights were, I will reveal now on our Eurohike HikingBlog.

Salzkammergut: Alpine Idyll, Summit Bliss, and Turquoise Lakes

“In Im weißen Rössl on Wolfgangsee, happiness is right at your doorstep,” as Peter Alexander, the famous Austrian singer and actor, already knew in the popular Heimatfilm of the 1960s. You’re sure to feel happy at the picturesque Wolfgangsee, where the incredibly beautiful shades of blue are rarely seen in nature. The Attersee, Mondsee, Hallstätter See, and Traunsee are equally enchanting, and the numerous hiking trails offer stunning bird’s-eye views of these beautiful waters. From easygoing strolls to more challenging routes, there’s something for every level. A trekking adventure with glacier views awaits on the Dachstein High Altitude Trail. Styria’s Salzkammergut is home to countless natural gems, including the Tauplitzalm and the impressive Loser Massif. For a more leisurely pace, you can enjoy alpine hiking or moderate walking tours in the region.

Speaking of indulgence: in the Salzkammergut, it’s certainly not in short supply. Whether it’s a picnic on the boardwalk by the lake, a Kaiserschmarrn on the alm, or a light salad featuring Abersee sheep’s cheese, there’s something for every taste.

Insider Tip: At Hotel Bergrose Hideaway in Strobl, you can indulge in SeeSushi prepared with freshly caught fish from Wolfgangsee. If you book the Wolfgangsee Hiking Tour, you’ll stay at this charming hotel. Even on another tour in the Salzkammergut, you can stop by to enjoy the chef’s creations on the panoramic terrace with breathtaking lake views.

Summer hiking with a view of the Dachstein glacier

I’ve been part of the Eurohike team for five years now. For exactly this long I have taken care of our hiking tours in the Salzkammergut. I live in the town of Mondsee, so the stage locations and day hiking tours lie practically at my doorstep. Now it’s finally time to get to know my home a little better. My colleague Christina has raved about this tour for a long time: “Helene, just imagine, I am working on a new tour, walking right across the Salzkammergut, all of my favourite places are included…”. In 2021, as the tour beamed out of the catalogue for the first time with mountain and lake photos, it was clear for me: I would try out the hiking tour "High altitude paths, lakes & Dachstein Glacier" next!

Travel story: A high-altitude hike around the Gosau ridge

Especially with high temperatures during summer the pleasantly cool mountain air in higher regions and a refreshing dip in the beautiful Salzkammergut lakes are just the ticket. This combination also won me over and so I was able to experience the unique Dachstein World Heritage region up close last year on my first employee-on-tour trip. The Dachstein high-altitude circular path combines summit experiences with cooling summer freshness and offers hikers, who are looking for a challenging trekking tour, an unforgettable adventure. Feel free to take a look at the entire Dachstein high-altitude circular path travel report. What I remembered in particular about this trekking holiday can be read here in my report along the queen’s stage of this hiking holiday with luggage transfer.

Hiking for families

Travel report: Family hiking in the Salzkammergut

"Experiencing the world from a child’s perspective” – previously I could never imagine anything like that. However since my son Aaron was born almost exactly 2.5 years ago, this expression actually started making sense to me. The hiking holiday Salzkammergut Rivers and Lakes for Families was also new for me and my wife: never before have the three of us been on a hiking holiday together. Easy hiking tours, crystal clear mountain lakes, plenty of spots for swimming fun – that sounded like the right holiday for us. So, bags packed and off into a hiking adventure in the Salzkammergut region.

Algarve: 3,000 Hours of Sunshine for Two

Late summer and autumn are ideal for a hiking getaway along the sunny Algarve. With 3,000 hours of sunshine each year, this region is a true paradise for sun lovers. A gentle Atlantic breeze accompanies you as you hike along the coast, where authentic fishing villages, Mediterranean cuisine, dramatic cliffs, striking rock formations, and secluded beaches await. Depending on whether you prefer to explore the area from a single base or hike from place to place, you can choose between tours based from one hotel or coastal trekking. Especially popular with couples is our Coastal Charm Tour. In the typically Portuguese accommodations of Casa Mae Lagos or Hotel Pousada Convento de Tavira, you can truly unwind and let your soul relax.
