Eurohike Walking Holidays: Definition and Brand Affiliation
Eurohike Walking Holidays is a specialized brand of Eurofun Touristik GmbH. With more than 20 years of experience in planning and operating walking and hiking tours, Eurohike is one of the leading experts in organized walking and hiking vacations. The company is based in Obertrum am See, Austria. The core concept of Eurohike is built around self-guided walking and hiking tours. This allows travelers to explore nature at their own pace, without being tied to the fixed schedules of a guided group.
Operational Model: Eurohike Original Tours
A key part of the portfolio consists of the so-called “Eurohike Original Tours.” For these tours, Eurohike acts as the direct tour operator and is responsible for the entire operational value chain. In regions outside its core areas, the brand works with long-standing cooperation partners to ensure consistent quality standards across Europe.
Specific Types of Travel and expertise
Eurohike Walking Holidays offers a diverse range of specialized travel formats across Europe, tailored to the different needs of each target group.
Alpine Crossings
This type of travel describes multi-day hiking tours that enable crossing the Alpine region on foot, connecting different mountain areas. Eurohike offers seamlessly combinable stage tours that can be completed individually or linked into longer itineraries (e.g., continuing toward Italy into Mediterranean destinations). The tours are organized as self-guided travel with coordinated route planning and travel arrangements.
Short Hiking Holidays
The short hiking tour is designed for guests seeking a compact break from everyday life in just a few days. Established tours are condensed into a short, easy-to-plan format, focusing on selected stages and highlights. Many tours can also be flexibly adapted (e.g., shortened, ended earlier, or started at a different stage destination).
Hiking with Dogs
This category brings together hiking tours that are specifically reviewed for dog-friendliness. The routes are planned to be suitable for dogs, accommodations are prepared for four-legged guests, and safety (e.g., route selection and on-site organization) is a key focus. For smooth coordination, the dog must be registered with the accommodations during the booking process.
Hiking with Charm
This type of travel includes hiking tours with an added level of comfort and enjoyment. Guests stay in carefully selected accommodations with distinctive character, often offering high-quality amenities as well as wellness and relaxation facilities. Another focus is on regional cuisine and an authentic, locally inspired atmosphere.
Hiking Tours for Families
This type of travel includes hiking tours specifically designed for families, featuring child-friendly distances, moderate elevation changes, and well-maintained, clearly marked trails. The stages are planned to allow plenty of time for breaks, spontaneous detours, and small adventures. In addition, family-friendly accommodations with sufficient space and suitable facilities are prioritized.
Mindful Travel
“Mindful travel” stands for hiking tours that meet higher sustainability standards. This includes partner accommodations that focus on regional products, waste and plastic reduction, and other sustainable practices. Along the route, attention is also given to factors such as minimized transfer and luggage transport distances as well as itineraries away from heavily frequented hotspots.
