Levada Walks and Mountain Peaks

Madeira’s sub-tropical climate, varied terrain and vibrant flora make it a fantastic destination no matter when you visit. In spring, wildflowers spill across the levadas (historic irrigation channels), while summer and autumn are perfect for coastal walks and high-altitude treks across the island’s central mountains.

Walking in Madeira is a sensory delight, from the scent of eucalyptus in the forests to the panoramic views from Pico Ruivo. For those who prefer pedal power, Madeira also offers rewarding cycling routes that wind through valleys and along the island’s wild coastline.

Sunshine, fresh seafood and lush green landscapes make Madeira one of Europe’s most underrated year-round gems.

Himalayas to Heritage

India is a country of contrasts in landscapes, cultures and climates. That’s what makes it such a versatile destination all year round. While the north is blanketed in Himalayan snow, the south enjoys tropical warmth and beachside bliss.

In winter, head to Rajasthan to see the Taj Mahal and cultural discovery, tiger safaris and cycling past ancient forts. Spring and autumn are ideal for trekking in the Indian Himalaya, where remote trails, mountain passes and vibrant Buddhist culture await. Between January and April offers the perfect time to explore Kerala’s misty hills and immerse yourself in Southern India.

Whether you're after spiritual discovery, jungle wildlife or high-altitude challenge, India delivers, season after season.

Springtime All Year

Just off the northwest coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are famed for their “eternal spring” climate - a perfect balance of sunshine, cooling trade winds and dramatic landscapes. That makes them a favourite all-year-round destination for walkers and cyclists alike.

La Gomera's lush forests and volcanic ridgelines offer some of the most scenic hiking in the Canaries, while Tenerife’s iconic Pico del Teide (Spain’s highest mountain) is a must for summit seekers. Prefer two wheels? Lanzarote’s otherworldly terrain is tailor-made for cycling adventures, with quiet roads and unforgettable coastal views.

Whether you want to explore ancient laurel forests, crater rims or black-sand beaches, active holidays in the Canary Islands deliver every season.

Ever-Changing Adventures Across the Seasons

From snow-dusted peaks to Saharan dunes, Morocco’s diverse landscapes offer something special every season. Winter brings the perfect introdction to mountaineering with the opportunity to summit Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. In spring and autumn, the Atlas Mountains come alive with colour, perfect for trekking through remote valleys and Berber villages.

During the summer months, cooler Atlantic breezes make walking Morocco’s coastline a brilliant choice for family adventures or relaxed cultural escapes in Essaouira. Meanwhile, the Sahara offers spectacular trekking and starlit camps from October to April.

With such incredible geographic and seasonal diversity, Morocco isn’t just a one-time destination, it’s an ever-evolving adventure.

Winter Sun and Volcanic Trails

With warm temperatures, low rainfall and dramatic Atlantic scenery, walking in Cape Verde is an adventurer’s answer to winter blues. This remote archipelago, lying west of Senegal, offers spectacular ridge walks, traditional villages and rugged coastlines ideal for hiking holidays in cooler months.

The island of Santo Antão, in particular, is a trekking paradise and you can choose to explore it guided or self-guided. Its zigzag paths and terraced valleys wind through scenery that feels worlds away from the holiday resorts that have put Cape Verde on the map. Between walks, you’ll soak up Creole culture, taste local catch-of-the-day and enjoy laid-back evenings under tropical skies.

For a winter walking escape that’s off the mainstream radar, Cape Verde is hard to beat.
