What makes these "classic" routes?

These are the most iconic and historically significant long-distance walking paths in Europe, including the Via Francigena, the Camino de Santiago, the Tour du Mont Blanc, and the Dolomites Alta Via.

They are classic not just for their scenery, but for their cultural and pilgrim heritage.

Do I need to walk the full route, or can I do just a section?

Most routes are available as individual stages, from 3-day weekends to multi-week journeys.

You can start with a single section and return to complete the rest in future years, at your own pace.

Are these trips suitable for first-time long-distance walkers?

Yes.

Many routes have an "Easy" version with shorter daily stages and gentler terrain.

SloWays also offers a difficulty guide to help you choose the right trip for your fitness level.

What is included in a classic route package?

Each package includes pre-booked accommodation, luggage transfer between stops (where available), GPS offline navigation via app, detailed route documentation, and 24/7 assistance during the trip.
