About trekking
What is trekking?
Trekking is the one if you want exercise and company in a setting that stays under control. The companies we work with specialise in outings organised for groups of friends, couples and families, with no experience needed.
These trekking routes are built around the best of the landscape, and you come back knowing more than when you left. Geotourism walks along the coast and inland in the Basque Country leave you with a good feeling and a better memory. Waiting for you are the best organised routes and breaks!

And finally, the trekking routes in Álava are a very good way to see the place.
Trekking season
This kind of activity runs from March to October, because it depends on the weather to be run properly.
Partner cooperatives
Ekobideak is a cooperative in Bizkaia that works on geology and the environment. Worth getting to know, and worth doing their trekking and hiking routes!
The difference between trekking and hiking
Did you know trekking and hiking are not the same thing? Plenty of people use the words interchangeably. They should not.
Hiking is the relaxed one: quiet, usually on waymarked paths that are properly linked by bridges and tracks. The routes tend not to ask much of you physically, and usually stay low.
Move over to Trekkingand the waymarked paths and easy going are gone. You cross ground with no marked route, and making your way through it takes a fair amount of effort. Usually you are crossing woodland, mountains and so on. It can run over several days, in which case you have to prepare properly and carry the right kit to look after yourself outdoors and to camp overnight.
