Company offers walking tours for visually impaired client

Waymark Holidays, one of the UK’s leading Europe walking tour companies is working with disability charity Vitalise to offer walking tours in Austria and Spain this year for visually impaired clients.

It is well known that visually impaired people have heightened sense of smell, taste and hearing. The trips have been chosen to capitalize on their enhanced senses, while giving them the chance to get out and walk in some of the most beautiful areas in Europe.

This year, visually impaired clients are being proposed walking tours to Austria and Spain. They are offered trips to Sierra des Mamblas from 22-29 October, walking along old pilgrim routes across the hills to ancient hermitages, villages and monasteries. It is based in the historical town of Covarrubias with accommodation in a comfortable hotel.

The trip will involve easy to moderate walking at the standard grades offered to all Waymark clients, with groups consisting of 16-22 clients with a helper each and two guides.

Vitalise Holidays is part of Vitalise, a leading UK charity, providing breaks for disabled people and careers and Waymark Holidays had been offering such tours for over ten years and the scheme has proven a success. Both are happy to be working together.
