As the year winds down and a new season of travel begins to take shape, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on the kind of hiking experience that feels right for you. You might be planning a journey with family or friends, looking ahead to your next big challenge, or simply exploring what kind of walk best matches your pace, interests, and sense of adventure.
Ryder-Walker trips span a wide range of experiences. We offer Guided, Self-Guided, and Private Guided treks, allowing you to choose the level of guidance that best fits your travel style.
Some travelers are drawn to cultural hikes, like our Peru trek to Machu Picchu, Northern Greece, and Alsace France trips, where wandering through storybook villages, rolling vineyards, and landscapes layered with rich history sets the tone. Others prefer easygoing to moderate hikes, which are also family friendly, where days are active but unhurried and the focus is on beautiful scenery, comfort, and balance— such as our Slovenia: Waterfalls and Gorges, Highlights of Switzerland, and Easygoing Engadine trips.
Many enjoy the steady rhythm of moderate to challenging hikes, moving comfortably across varied terrain like you’ll find on our Corsica, Italian Dolomites, and Ortler Alps treks with rewarding views at every turn. Some are captivated by coastal hikes, like Mallorca, Portugal or Cornwall England, where cliffside paths and sea breezes create a distinctly different sense of adventure. Others are drawn to moderate to challenging, and bucket-list journeys like our Matterhorn, Eiger Trail, and Iceland treks—designed for those who seek long days above the tree line and time spent in unspoiled wilderness.
Whatever inspires you, every Ryder-Walker journey is thoughtfully crafted with our signature attention to detail. Beyond the trail itself, we focus just as carefully on the experience off the trail—hand-picked boutique accommodations, farm-to-table local cuisine, seamless luggage transfers, and meaningful connections to the regions you explore.
