Backroads has launched a new trip collection designed for travelers in their 30s and 40s, featuring nearly three dozen itineraries with more than 70 departures worldwide.

The collection includes walking and hiking tours, multi-adventure trips and bike tours across destinations including Italy, Greece, Peru, Alaska and Costa Rica. First departures are scheduled for spring 2026.

During a soft launch, the company reported strong early demand for hut-to-hut hiking in the Dolomites, lodge-to-lodge trekking in Peru and multi-adventure journeys through Greece, Sardinia, Corsica, Costa Rica and Alaska.

"We designed this collection with a deep understanding of where 30- and 40-something travelers are in life—balancing ambition and adventure, career and curiosity," said Avery Hale Smith, chief experience officer at Backroads.
