Center-based

On the most relaxed hiking trip or cycling trip, you stay at one or two hotels during the week. Hiking and cycling from a "basecamp" works in places with particularly dense trail networks and good communications. Perhaps an alpine valley with deep side valleys, high plateaus, peaks and a summer-open lift system, or a coastal stretch with a practical railway line along the water that stops in all the villages. Every day you return to an unpacked bag and yet variation is guaranteed!
