What does an active holiday mean to you?

The range of what characterizes an active holiday is individual from person to person, and we can actually accommodate most preferences.

Whether you're visiting Sønderborg, the city in nature, on a shopping trip with café enjoyment, or heading out into our nature to get your heart rate up and some speed in the field, you'll find a wide range of options on the mainland as well as on the island of Als.

 

Hiking tours

Lace up your hiking shoes and enjoy nature on one of the numerous hiking trails around the Sønderborg area. Here, you'll find both short and medium-length hiking paths, as well as the very long hiking routes that may take several days.

You can follow the Alsstien, with family and friends, on the 64-kilometer-long and scenic route from Hardeshøj in Nordals to Drejet in Sydals.

Denmark's first European quality hiking trail, the Gendarmstien, takes you through beautiful and varied nature on the 84-kilometer hike from Padborg in the neighboring municipality of Aabenraa, through Sønderborg city, to Skovby in Sydals.
