Suggested trip lengths and day groupings below are our editorial starting points. Your personalized plan will depend on your interests, pace, and dates.
How much time to allow
Seven to ten days suit a lake stay and one contrasting inland area. A north-to-south route benefits from more time.
Choose a connected route
Choose a southern landscape-and-lake route or a northern focus. The country’s long shape makes repeated cross-country transfers inefficient.
Where to base yourself
Choose a lakeside base for relaxation and accommodation closer to parks or hiking areas for outdoor starts. Check the final access road or boat transfer.
Before booking
Confirm current transport and excursion arrangements. Match mountain walks and water activities to local conditions, and leave enough time at the lake to avoid turning the trip into a driving circuit.
