The Best Adventure Holidays in Europe
Tough enough to brave the Arctic wilds or lava-spewing volcanoes? You’ll find plenty of adrenaline-fuelled excursions when you book on one of these Culture Trip adventures.
Europe isn’t just about architectural splendour, history and culture. There are plenty of opportunities to get active as well, from snowmobiling across an Icelandic glacier to hiking in the Caucasus Mountains. Book yourself onto one of these small-group trips and you’ll be conquering epic landscapes in no time.
Explore remote villages and trek in the Georgian Caucasus
With snow-capped mountains, remote villages and churches, and forests teeming with wildlife, Georgia, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, is an adventure lover’s paradise. On Culture Trip’s nine-day tour, you’ll have the chance to spot golden eagles, wild boar and possibly bears and wolves on a hike through Lagodekhi National Park in the foothills of the Caucasus. Trek to Gergeti Trinity Church, which sits on a grassy ridge close to the Russian border, explore the remote village of Juta – with superb views of the jagged Chaukhi massif – and top it off by soaking in ancient sulphur baths in Tbilisi.
