The Alps have inspired many of our self-guided walking holidays. High-altitude paths circumnavigate snow-capped mountains and glaciers, while pristine lakes and bucolic meadows undulate below. Conquer a corner of one of Europe’s highest and largest mountain ranges with one of our self-guided walking holidays.
Journeying through the little-known Aravis Mountains, discover the very essence of the Alps – chalet-style hotels in traditional villages, sweeping meadows, and scenic passes between rugged peaks. Your destination is the enchanting, medieval town of Annecy, known for its eponymous lake and nicknamed the ‘Venice of the Alps’ for its canals and pretty, cobbled streets. It’s also a hotspot for foodies, offering tantalising local dishes such as Reblochon cheese, tartiflette, and fondue, among others.
“For me, the real highlight is the contrast between the traditional mountain villages – with their flower-bedecked, wooden chalets – and the hustle and bustle of Annecy. They’re not far apart, but they feel a world away from each other.”![]() |
