But what if\u00a0you\u2019re after a more\u00a0meaningful\u00a0travel experience\u00a0than lying by the pool?\u00a0For anyone seeking a\u00a0truly\u00a0rewarding vacation,\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"\/europe\/walking\">Great Walks of Europe<\/a> offer a powerful journey of rediscovery after the emotional and spiritual challenges of the past few years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/walking\">Guided group walking tours<\/a>\u00a0with an experienced leader are about much more than simply walking from point A to point B. They provide income for locals in regional towns, many of which have been hit hard financially by border closures, and offer not just physical but also mental health benefits. When you walk with a group, the journey is shared, and the way ahead is easier with friends by your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intrepid&#8217;s Great Walks of Europe offer a sustainable way to see some of the world\u2019s most spectacular scenery, with the wind in your hair and the sun (and a smile) on your face. With your luggage transferred from one point to the next and an expert leader to guide the way, all you need is a pair of good walking shoes, a daypack and a sense of adventure to enjoy the following European walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are 5 of the best walks in Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Mont Blanc&nbsp;(the easy way)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, you don\u2019t need to be an\u00a0expert\u00a0hiker to tackle\u00a0mighty\u00a0Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. On a small group\u00a0<a href=\"\/france\/mont-blanc-highlights-160922\">Mont Blanc Highlights<\/a>\u00a0tour\u00a0with an experienced\u00a0International\u00a0Mountain Leader,\u00a0it\u2019s possible to\u00a0cut out the tiring climbs without missing a moment of the region\u2019s scenic beauty. With an ingenious combination of cable car rides and local knowledge, your leader will share the magic of hiking Mont Blanc with the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On daily walking adventures from your home base at a historic hotel in the heart of Chamonix, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, you\u2019ll hike along the foot of the Bionnassay glacier, cross a Himalayan style suspension bridge, and see the rocky needles of Mont Blanc piercing the sky above. With a free day in Chamonix halfway through the trip to rest your legs and discover the region your way, this centre-based trip offers the perfect mix of time spent together and apart and is a hit with adventurous solo female travellers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/france\/mont-blanc\"><strong>CHOOSE THE RIGHT MONT BLANC WALKING TRIP  FOR YOU<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

This seven-day life-affirming small group hiking adventure takes in the final section of Spain\u2019s Camino de Santiago, the most iconic part of the trail. Walking through traditional countryside, quaint hamlets, Roman ruins and more, you\u2019ll fuel up on traditional Galician specialties like polbo a feira octopus in Melide, cheese in Arzua and sample Queimada, which involves casting a spell so special powers are transferred to those who sip the local brew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your journey ends in the ancient city of Santiago de Compostela where you\u2019ll collect your official Camino de Santiago certificate, the Compostela, which is only available to those who complete the minimum 100km (62 miles) of this iconic Great Walk. Time your arrival for before noon and you can enter the cathedral and participate in the pilgrims\u2019 mass where the names of all those who have collected their Camino certificates in the last 24 hours are read aloud \u2013 including yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/spain\/camino-de-santiago\">WALK THE CAMINO FROM SPAIN OR PORTUGAL<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/trekking-the-choquequirao-trail-peru\/\">READ MORE: WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF ON AN INTREPID WALKING TRIP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
