What can you do on site without a car?

Enjoy nature activities around the site

Once you’ve settled in at your Huttopia destination, the car often becomes unnecessary.
Depending on the site, you can make the most of the surrounding nature: go hiking, swimming, hire a bike, explore a forest, reach a lake, or simply enjoy the facilities and activities on site.
To plan your stay, check out the accessible trails, swimming spots, markets, nearby villages, and activities before you leave. This way, you can enjoy a more relaxing, immersive experience, closer to nature.

Explore the area on foot, by bike, or by local transport

Without a car, getting around becomes gentler and more active.
On foot, you can discover the surroundings at your own pace; by bike, you can venture a little further to a village, lake, or viewpoint. Depending on the region, greenways, cycle paths, and trails make it easy to explore the great outdoors.
Local transport can also enhance your stay: buses, summer shuttles, regional trains, boat shuttles, or taxis sometimes make it possible to reach a tourist site, a nearby town, or a hiking trail.
By planning these options in advance, you can enjoy a more local, simpler, and more immersive discovery of the area.

An ideal experience for slow travel

Train holidays are naturally in tune with the spirit of slow travel: taking the time to discover a region in depth, from trails and local markets to swimming spots, nearby villages, bike rides, and moments of relaxation in the great outdoors.
At Huttopia, this philosophy is at the heart of the experience. Stays invite you to slow down, live outdoors, and reconnect with what matters, while the train makes the journey gentler, more contemplative, and less dependent on road constraints.
Slow travel doesn’t mean doing less, but living differently. Without a car, you focus on activities that are closer, more local, and more authentic, creating memories that are more deeply rooted in the place.

And what about winter holidays without a car?

Winter is also best enjoyed outdoors — and by train.
From the city, travel light and head to a Huttopia Campsite accessible without a car: a chance to slow down from the start, watch the scenery go by, and leave everyday life behind. Once there, enjoy a nature break: skiing or frosty walks, fresh air, and cosy evenings to share, simply.
A different way to travel in winter: smoother, calmer, and closer to what matters.
