The Camino del Norte, also known as the Northern Way or la Ruta de la Costa, is a pilgrimage route of immense beauty and variety, spanning approximately 800 kilometers along the northern coast of Spain.
Taking pilgrimages through the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias, and finally into Galicia, culminating at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, this route is a mosaic of unique experiences.
It includes some of Spain's most beautiful cities like San Sebastian, with its stunning sea-front promenade, and Bilbao, known for its vibrant art scene. Other highlights include the beaches of Santander, Gijon's working harbor, the quaint fishing village of Ribadesella, and the medieval charm of Vilalba.
Camino del Norte requires a massive physical undertaking, typically taking about five weeks to complete on foot. As such, it is modifiable into seven manageable stages, making it manageable for various schedules, allowing you to return year after year to continue from where you left off.
While our tours traditionally begin with walking on the first day and conclude with walking on the last day, we understand that some travelers may wish to extend their stay. We can arrange additional days before or after the walking tour, complete with accommodation bookings.
Meanwhile, our priorities are your comfort and satisfaction. We handle accommodation bookings and luggage transfers and provide round-the-clock support.
Equipped with GPS navigation and a detailed guidebook, you won't have to think about anything else than getting from town to town and enjoying the scenery.
Lace up for the Camino del Norte and step into a world where history, culture, and nature intertwine.

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.
