Nothing beats that post-hike pint, except maybe a massive, fluffy hotel bed waiting for you right after. Whether you’re a hardcore rambler or just in it for the pub at the end, a walking holiday is the perfect excuse to switch off, get some fresh air, and give your legs a proper workout.

And because we’re all about doing late, great, you don’t need to plan your trek months in advance. Just pick a route, grab a last-minute deal, and go.

Where to drag your hiking boots

You don’t have to look far to find a decent mountain to climb. But if you need a little inspiration, here are a few spots where the trails are top-notch and the nearby beds are incredibly comfy.

Top US stomping grounds

  • Yosemite National Park: The big one. Whether you’re braving the Half Dome cables or just taking a mellow walk to Lower Yosemite Fall, nearby hotels are perfectly geared up for tired hikers.
  • The Appalachian Trail: Wild, rugged, and totally brilliant. You don't have to hike all 2,000 miles of it, either. Pick a day hike in the Great Smoky Mountains and earn yourself a massive dinner.
  • Zion National Park: Want to wade through The Narrows or tackle Angels Landing? Base yourself in Springdale and hit the trails early before the crowds show up.
  • The Rocky Mountains: For killer views and serious elevation, the trails around Estes Park are winners. Plus, the local breweries are top tier.

Trails across the pond and beyond

  • The Inca Trail, Peru: Swap the local woods for ancient ruins. Trekking to Machu Picchu is a bucket-list favorite, and the hotels in nearby Cusco are the perfect place to acclimate and recover.
  • Patagonia, Chile and Argentina: Think fresh mountain air, massive glaciers, and the famous W Trek. It's proper hiking territory, with plenty of hearty food waiting for you at the finish line.
  • The Lake District, UK: Trade the Rockies for rolling green hills. A stomp up a local fell gives you sweeping views, and you get to eat your body weight in pub grub afterward.

Rest those weary legs

You’ve just hiked 15 miles. You deserve options. The good news is we’ve got plenty of hotels near popular walking routes. And you can stay exactly the way you want to.

Need a cheap, cheerful, and affordable base camp to just crash and burn? Sorted. Fancy waking up to a massive breakfast included in your stay before you set off? Easy. Or maybe you want to go full luxury and book a spa hotel to soak your tired muscles. It’s perfect for big group hikes who want to stay together, or if you just want to go it alone and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Whatever your vibe, we’ve got the biggest range of accommodation to book last-minute at the best price. Oh, and if you become a member, you can save up to 15% on your booking. More cash for trail snacks, right?

Walking holiday FAQs

What is a walking holiday?

Basically, it’s a vacation where the main event is putting one foot in front of the other. You pick a scenic spot, hit the trails during the day, and crash at a great hotel by night. No stress, just good views and tired legs.

What should I pack for a last-minute hiking holiday?

Keep it simple. Broken-in hiking boots (blisters are the worst), weather-appropriate layers, a solid backpack, and plenty of water. Oh, and a swimsuit if you booked one of those sweet spa hotels we mentioned.

When is the best time to book a hiking holiday?

Whenever you feel like it. Spring and fall offer the best weather for hitting the trails, but honestly? If you’ve got a free weekend coming up, grab a last-minute deal and go.

Are there last-minute hotel deals near popular walking routes?
