Acclaimed as Europe’s best alpine trek the walk, the route circles the epic Mont Blanc Massif and covers a distance of some 170km and including 10,000m of ascent and descent.

Macs Adventure’s Katie Berry, the European Team’s Destination & Adventure Specialist, reckons the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage trail from Canterbury to Rome, is a must for walker in 2016. She says: “The Pope has named next year as a holy year so lots of pilgrims are heading to Rome. What better way to do so than by foot via the routes that travellers have walked for thousands of years?” See Via Francigena. Also see Walk of the Week. Camino de Santiago

Another great pilgrimage route is the Camino de Santiago (also known as The French Way or Camino Frances). It is the most popular Camino route and the pilgrimage commonly referred to as "the Camino". The Camino Frances extends almost 800km across northern Spain from St Jean Pied de Port on the French border to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Macs Adventure offer many different Camino de Santiago walking holidays. Which one will be on your bucket list in 2016?

The fabulous Icelandic walking route is on the bucket list of Sarah Henderson, the Operations Manager at Macs Adventure. She says: “This one has been on my bucket list since we started offering it at Macs and a trip to Iceland in 2014 really cemented my interest in this amazing country. I can’t wait to go back and I have booked for July 2016.” The epic route takes in many of the amazing landscape wonders of Iceland including volcanoes, lava fields, hot springs, mud pools, waterfalls, mountain lakes, canyons and wooded valleys.

Another great pilgrim’s trail is found in Japan. The 11th century Kumano Kodo traces a route through rural Japan to the three grand shrines of Kumano. See Kumano Kodo Everest Base Camp

A trip that will be on many people’s bucket list is to reach Everest Base Camp. Of course, for others, the higher goal is Everest summit itself but this trekking tour is still worthy of making it on to the list. The classic lodge trek takes in Kala Pattar, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery and Kathmandu from Lukla to Everest Base Camp. 

Cycle Venice to Poreč

Andy Girdwood, the European Cycling Specialist at Macs Adventure, suggests the stunning Venice to Porec cycle route. He says: “It is a bit of a hidden gem but it is just amazing and such a great way to see the Adriatic coastline. The weather is great, plus the views are amazing and there is lovely food and wine, too. What else do you need in a bucket list destination?” See Venice to Porec Cycle Tour West Highland Way
