Specialist walking tour operator Involved Holidays has introduced Montenegro to its range for 2027.
The operator has also added three new tours in its established destinations of Italy and France for next year.
Expanding its already popular Balkans product, Walking in Montenegro is a seven-day itinerary featuring Lake Skadar – Europe’s largest lake – and half-board accommodation in Budva and Kolasin. It includes five guided walks led by local experts.
Highlights include seeing the Bay of Kotor by cable car and Unesco World Heritage Sites at Kotor, Stari Grad and Durmitor, plus Black Lake in Durmitor National Park.
There are two new Italian tours, called Walking in Brescia Lakes and Veneto Trails & Rails, which explores the university city of Padua.
The new French itinerary is Castles of the Loire Valley on Foot, which offers two nights of half-board accommodation in Blois and five-nights’ half-board in Amboise.
There are three guided walks exploring the Loire Valley’s châteaux, river landscapes and vineyard countryside. Clients will travel by train between Blois and Amboise.

Steve West, managing director at Involved Holidays, said: “It’s exciting to be expanding our itinerary portfolio for the second time this year.
“Our new itinerary options offer agents more scope to sell in some of our established destinations, allowing them to cater to clients that love the destination but want something new.
“And Montenegro, our newest destination introduction, offers something different for those wanting a slightly more active take on our style of relaxed walking holidays.
“Offering five guided walks, this new destination compliments our extremely popular Walking in Beautiful Balkans tour perfectly and aids agents in matching one of our walking holidays to clients who are looking for a more active option.
“This expansion is a real statement of intent for the business and we look forward to agents beginning to share them with their clients.”
Involved Holidays currently offers more than 40 week-long hiking holidays in the UK and Europe, with flights from 20 airports.
