Walking holidays in the Alps

Walking in the Alps

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.

Mont Blanc and beyond
From Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, hiking in the Alps promises captivating mountain-studded landscapes, wooden chalet-lined Alpine villages, and hearty, wholesome food that’s the perfect antidote to a day’s walking (Rösti and an array of artisan cheese are our favourites). They span eight countries, from France all the way to Slovenia, and within the valleys, mountains, glaciers, and lakes, well-marked paths make the Alps a joy to explore.

New - The French Alps & Lake Annecy


 
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.”

Where to walk in the Alps
The Tour du Mont Blanc takes some beating in terms of elevated walking, which includes the balcony path to Courmayeur with views of Mont Blanc’s south-west flanks and the crossing of Col de la Croix du Bonhomme. There’s also a thrilling trek from the Eiger to the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Trek from hotel to hotel along some of the best- and lesser-known routes 3,000m above sea level.
