One of the rewards walking has to offer is getting close to nature. This invigorating program walks the footpaths and byways of three fascinating natural worlds brimming with unforgettable landscapes, spectacular scenery and ancient wonders. The Dingle Peninsula in Ireland offers a pristine coast, gentle, winding paths, picturesque villages and stunning vistas. You'll share in the hospitality of the South Pole Inn, marvel at prehistoric standing stones and bask in the rugged, challenging beauty that is the essence of Western Ireland. From sheltered trails to hanging rivers of ice, taking the centuries-old Chilkoot Trail into the heart of Alaska reveals a hidden world and a glimpse into the past, when desperate men battled the elements in their rush for gold. Finally, experience the pure pleasure of walking Austria's Salzkammergut with its architectural gems and panoramic views of the Alps. Historic citadels and castles are magnificent relics of the region's imperial past.
