Book Your 2027 Trek at 2026 Pricing Through October 15
Updated October 2026
Thinking about hiking beneath the Matterhorn, exploring Italy’s Dolomites, or walking along the cliffs of Cornwall? Booking ahead gives you more choice of dates, a better chance of securing our favorite accommodations, and time to prepare for the trail. Here are five reasons to start planning your next Ryder-Walker adventure now. Whether you’re dreaming of the Tour du Mont Blanc, our Engadine Trek in Switzerland, or hiking in Mallorca, here are five reasons to book your next Ryder-Walker adventure early.
1. Stay at Our Favorite Hotels and Inns
One of the top reasons to book early is a better chance to book our favorite hotels, inns, and mountain huts. Many of the villages along our routes are tiny, sometimes just a handful of chalets. As a result, rooms at our favorite properties fill quickly.
Booking early gives you more options:
- First pick of boutique hotels and alpine inns on routes like the Eiger Trail, Heart of Austria trip, or the Berner Oberland Trek.
- A better chance of securing our preferred properties, from welcoming Italian inns to spa hotels in the Swiss Alps.
- Peace of mind on high-demand routes like the Tour du Mont Blanc, where lodging is limited and we only offer two guided tours and a handful of self-guided pre-booked departures in 2027.
Our long-standing relationships with local hoteliers mean Ryder-Walker guests are welcomed like family.
2. More Time to Plan Your Travel
Flights, trains, and transfers book up quickly in summer. By reserving your trip now, you’re more likely to enjoy:
- Once your trek is confirmed, you’ll have more time to compare airline fares, schedules, and routes.
- More flexibility for pre- and post-trek travel—perfect if you want to add on Paris, Venice, or Barcelona before or after your trip.
Planning ahead takes the stress out of travel and allows you to design the journey exactly how you want it.
3. An Easier Time Coordinating Your Group
Traveling with companions? Early booking makes group travel easier. Reserving ahead of time means:
- Room availability for your whole party in the same properties.
- More time to align schedules and preferences.
- In addition, booking early gives everyone more time to plan extra activities before or after your trek.
Our team communicates with each traveler individually, answering questions and addressing concerns so everyone feels prepared and excited. You focus on the adventure ewhile we handle the logistics.
4. More Time to Prepare for the Trail
By departure you’ll have had time to prepare for the hiking ahead. Build up your walking distances, add hills to your routine, and break in your boots before departure. You’ll have time to review your trip’s daily distances and elevation gains, gather your gear, and arrive feeling ready to enjoy the trail.
5. Something to Look Forward To
Whether it’s a guided trek through Norway’s fjords, a private guided adventure on our Italy’s Ortler Alps Trek, a self-guided journey across Portugal’s coast, or a mini-trek in Scotland, the best time to reserve your Ryder-Walker trip is now.
Choose your trail, gather your favorite hiking companions, and give yourself something to look forward to. We’ll handle the accommodations, luggage transfers, and route planning so you can focus on the hiking.
