Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
We craft extraordinary experiences, tailor made to meet your every need,
with every stitch of every day crafted just the way you want it.
Marianne is half of the first brother-sister duo to work their magic at B&R since our founders Martha and Sidney Robinson. A spectacular skier, chef and adventurer, no one knows more about going off piste, off-menu and off-Google than Marianne.Travel + Leisure agrees. She’s on their "A-List."
Meet Marianne
This lifelong jetsetter and competitive skier
is a bloodhound for beautiful experiences—whether it’s finding the most adorable
village in Normandy, or tracking down the richest, most buttery chardonnay in the
Napa Valley. Travellers say her trips don’t
just wow you—they whoa you.
After surfing his way around the world, Dale decided to hang ten in Costa Rica and Mexico, the two places he loves most. But make no mistake, this is no surfer dude. He is deeply connected to the people, culture and cuisine here, and every trip he crafts feels like a refined piece of art.

Born and raised in Britain, John claims to have become a travel researcher at age 16—the summer he first went backpacking through France “on scholarship funds.” Nowadays, this creative thinker keeps busy organizing our portfolio of trips in the Americas and the Middle East.
Meet JohnTravelling with B&R is an over-the-top experience. It seems that every moment from biking in the breathtaking countryside to the luxury hotels, the food, the wine, the other travellers, and the excellent guides—all are the most memorable. The hardest part of the trip is the return to reality!
