Why Visit Portugal on a Hiking Tour?
Portugal’s diverse landscapes make it one of Europe’s top hiking destinations, yet it remains a hidden gem for many outdoor enthusiasts.
What sets Portugal apart is the wide range of experiences packed into a small country.
Along the coast, the Fishermen’s Trail, known as one of the world’s most stunning coastal trails, winds through dramatic cliffs and secluded beaches, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic.
Just outside Lisbon, the misty forest trails of Sintra National Park lead you to the hidden Pena Palace and the ancient Castle of the Moors.
Further inland, Portugal’s wilderness takes on a different beauty.
In the remote expanses of Peneda-Gerês National Park, ancient Roman roads guide you through deep valleys and hidden waterfalls, where wild Garrano horses roam freely.
For those seeking tranquility, one of the world’s oldest wine regions, Douro Valley, offers peaceful walks through its UNESCO-listed vineyards.
The remote Azores archipelago, on the other hand, offers a different kind of adventure. Volcanic craters, lush forests, and natural hot springs form a unique backdrop that feels like a world unto itself.
Thanks to Portugal’s mild climate, most trails can be enjoyed year-round, although spring and autumn are the best times to hike and avoid the summer heat. Public transport is convenient in populated areas, but access to remote trails is most convenient by car.
Whether drawn to the coastline, the serene vineyards, or the rugged peaks, Portugal has a trail to match every passion.

We had great experience with the Triglav Tours team. They were always available, responsive and helpful. They arranged our trip during high season and managed to find solutions were other agencies did not. Thank you Eva and the entire Triglav Tours team!
I have a lot of experience hiking in the mountains but still chose to book a guide, as I have neither the gear nor experience in via ferrata climbing. It turned out to be a really good idea! Prior to the trip, I had contact with the organizer and a video call where I could ask questions, which provided a good basis for deciding which trip was right for me. We were three women + our guide Jakob. On day 2, we started very early before sunrise, which gave us a bit more space on the trail and the pleasure of watching the sun rise over the mountain. Jakob was incredibly good at making our small group function, even though our levels were quite varied. I have a fear of heights, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was really nice that there was time to clip us into the wire. Back at the cabin, we had breakfast before heading back down towards the car. An absolutely fantastic trip that requires good physical fitness.
The Tour du Mont Blanc was easily one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken in years. From breathtaking views and warm, welcoming people to delicious food and charming mountain huts, every aspect of the journey was unforgettable. The hikes were significantly more challenging than I had anticipated, but the reward was well worth the effort. I can’t overstate how much smoother and more stress-free the experience was thanks to Hut to Hut’s incredibly detailed guides. Having accommodations pre-booked, access to a well-designed GPS trail map, and a comprehensive guide outlining what to expect, what to pack, and what to watch out for made all the difference. If you’re considering hiking the TMB, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Hut to Hut. Their support turned a great adventure into an exceptional one.
