Guided Itineraries

Our new guided itinerary trips are a product that has been created by UCPA, but instead of being based in one UCPA centre, these holidays move location, following an itinerary throughout the week. These unique adventure trips allow you to travel the world differently, with sport as a means of transport, fostering connection and new friendships along the way.

What are UCPA Guided Itineraries?

UCPA have launched a new kind of adventure holiday! We are now offering guided itinerary holidays in small groups at more than 250 locations across France, Europe and worldwide. It’s the same ethos as their regular holidays, but if you’ve already travelled with UCPA, you should expect something quite different when booking a UCPA Planète trip.

As usual, all meals are included, whether in the refuge or accommodation you are staying at or in local restaurants along the trail.

Our itinerary courses are just another great way to immerse yourself in nature and meet new people in a fantastic setting. All logistics taken care of for you, all you need to do is turn up ready to embrace the journey ahead.

What is the accommodation like on UCPA Guided Itineraries?

Each UCPA Guided Itinerary is completely different from the next, and the same goes for the accommodation. They are not purpose-built UCPA centres, but instead vary from hostels, apartments, refuges, and camping, each having its own bit of local charm.

Although the style and size of your accommodation will differ from the UCPA centre experience you’re used to, there is the same ethos in terms of common living and room sharing. You may have a room to yourself, or you could be in a shared room with other guests and depending on the trip and accommodation, there may be the option to book a twin/double room for a supplement. Again, bathrooms may be shared, and some rooms will have en-suites. You'll be able to read about each destination to find out more about the accommodation that awaits you.

What is the food like with UCPA Guided Itineraries?

Alongside hiking along your chosen itinerary, you’ll be able to dive into a new cuisine local to the area. Whether in Spain or Corsica, or wherever you choose to explore... the food on offer will vary a lot.

Some meals will be served in your residence and others in local restaurants. Breakfast is usually served in your hotel and may be a buffet. Depending on your destination, lunch could be a packed picnic on the trail or at a restaurant, and in the evening, dinner might be at your residence for the night or again in a local restaurant. Read about your chosen itinerary to find out more information about what to expect.

Just like with UCPA France, if you have a dietary requirement, please make sure to notify your guide upon arrival.
