There are like a dozen regions in Europe that fit your bill:
- Italian alps
- Slovenian alps
- French alps
- Pyrenees
- Sierra Nevada in Spain
- Mountains in central Italy
- Balkan mountains (Bosnia via Montenegro to Macedonia)
- Greece (literally half the country is mountains and wilderness)
- Inner regions of Albania
- and more
Pyrenees

Are those areas hike-able in April though? That's my main concern. Afraid it might be too early.

go for the hill-towns in umbria, central italy.

just use some common sense, it's too early to go up north. going high up in the alps is also not recommended. Southern Europe is fine.
also check some weather app and some webcam and you know what to expect
if you want to go absolutely sure go to some Mediterranean island e.g. Majorca or Crete

Skierfag here. The southern alps had one of the worst snow years this season. So I'd assume that they're somewhat hikeable. The higher peaks will most likely be snow covered. Check out the ski resort webcams for some kind of vision on the conditions.
The dolomites have had least snow and are the most beautiful mountains imo in the alps so i'd suggest going there.
I can only speak for Sweden, but we have mild weather right now. The snow is completely gone(anywhere outside the far north) and temperatures are getting mild right now. Expect between 10-15 degrees. Perfect weather to go out in our vast forests. And with allemansrätten, you can camp outside as well without problem.
Thanks for all the replies everyone, much appreciated.

literally came here to post this, go to norcia, stay there, its a bit early but it will still be beautiful and ''hikeable'

what are you afraid of ?
I live in the french Alps and some grandpas & grandmas go hiking every day since early march.
but it depends on your level/liking of hiking though,
I have a suggestion. Why not Bulgaria? It has all the things you requested.
>outdoorsy activities - We have that!
>day hikes -We have that!
>scenery and nature - We have that!
>preferably mild or warm - We have that!
Here's a bonus... Go to Burgas! It's a wonderful place, it even has a beach close to the Black Sea! It's wonderful! For Hiking and other outdoorsy things, go to Sofia! There's the mountains near there! So basically, Bulgaria is the perfect place for you!
Is it cold in estonia?
Planning to go there and maybe more south afterwards

Just came back to Finland from Tallinn. It was a few degrees warmer than Helsinki during my stay. Dress like you would in Finland around this time.

Seconded, Bulgaria has very beautiful scenery, and also is incredibly cheap
