The Guardian Travel section is inviting readers to share their favourite experiences in Europe’s national parks. The best tip of the week will win a £200 voucher towards a stay at a Coolstays property.
Europe is home to nearly 500 national parks, offering some of the continent’s most pristine scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. The competition specifically excludes parks in the UK.

Participants can submit tips about various activities and locations. Examples of potential entries include snowshoeing across the frozen lakes and wild taiga forests of Finland’s Hossa, kayaking the wild wetlands of Estonia’s Soomaa, or tracking wolves in the Mercantour in southern France.
Prize and Judging
The winning tip will be chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet. The prize is a £200 voucher that can be used at any of Coolstays’ more than 3,000 properties worldwide.

The best tips will be published in the Guardian Travel section and on the website. While contributors are encouraged to send relevant photos, the competition is judged solely on the quality of the written words.
Eligibility and Entry
Due to legal reasons, only UK residents are eligible to enter this competition. Those interested can submit their tips through the designated form on the Guardian website.

Readers experiencing technical difficulties with the submission form can find alternative access options on the page. Full terms of service and privacy policies are available for review before entering.
