Europe

---

Ireland, Scotland, England, Belgium, and France offer some of Europe's best hiking and biking, with tours that traverse the lush, rolling countryside and overnight at quaint inns. Germany, Switzerland, eastern France and northern Italy turn up the volume with hiking and mountain climbing in the Alps. In Sweden, Norway, and Finland, you can take a fjord cruise and play insomniac in the arctic midnight sun. Even Russia is getting in on the act, introducing adventure travelers to the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains and the windswept Kola Peninsula.
