BERKELEY, Calif., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Backroads, the leader in
active travel, today announced more than two dozen new trips for
2025, including active European journeys from Dublin to Belfast, the Bavarian Alps to the Dolomites,
Andalucía to the Algarve, and a Walking & Hiking trip in the
renowned Berkshires and Catskills with a section of the Appalachian
Trail. The company is also introducing a new two-country Family
Trip in Sweden and Denmark as well as first-time trips in the
Baltics, Madeira and Greenland
among its new adventures for 2025.
Backroads' 2025 trips also include the debut of Home Base, a new
category of active luxury adventures offering the ease of unpacking
just once at a single property specially chosen for its picturesque
location, plush amenities and access to incredible hiking.
Prestigious Home Base retreats include the Estelle Manor in the
Cotswolds, the Schloss Elmau in Bavaria and La Fiermontina in
Puglia.
"Forty-six years after starting Backroads, I still get excited
when we roll out new trips," said Tom
Hale, Backroads Founder, President and CEO. "In 2025 we're
hiking in Puglia for the first time and adding trips in a few
amazing new North American destinations and several across
Europe, including trips for
families. I'm especially excited about Home Base, and I think our
guests will be too. My wife Liz and I went on our Brenta Dolomites
hiking trip last year, which features just one hotel, and we
thought unpacking once could be an appealing option in even more
regions. When we returned from that trip, we started working on the
Home Base concept."
