Active holidays

Open-air holidays really are the best way to relax and revel in the present moment, together with friends and family, away from the stresses of our increasingly urban lifestyles. And spending time in the great outdoors and activities go hand-in-hand.

For ideas and inspiration, take a look at our articles on activity weekends, hiking and walking holidays, bike camping, fishing holidays, canoe and kayaking holidays and lots more.

And then, of course, check out our excellent selection of campsites in France, in Italy and other countries which are only waiting to be explored. Whether you fancy a luxury chalet, a fully furnished glamping tent or are happy to go back-to-basics with a traditional campervan or tent pitch, we have your activity holiday accommodation sorted.
