From well-known Lake Bled to lesser-known Lake Iseo, we feature enchanting lakeside trails linking pretty waterfront towns and charming, independent accommodation with vistas. We've walked the walks, finding trails up into the hillsides where the views over the lakes expand and the routes become quieter. In addition to captivating walks, you’ll be ideally placed for sampling the region’s gastronomy and dipping in and out of local museums and art galleries.
Our Travel Expert James talks about what it means to do a lake walk with Inntravel and how you can still explore popular destinations in an authentic way.

"Many lakes across Europe are deservedly popular, but our holidays offer a different perspective. We take you up into the hills, where you can enjoy sweeping views over the water while escaping the crowds. You’ll see the famous places you’ve heard of – and the hidden corners you haven’t." - James Keane, Destination Expert |
We’ve spent over 40 years finding the perfect balance between lakeside charm and tranquil walking. It’s not just about where you go – it’s about when you go there.
Europe's lakes are famous for good reason: sparkling waters, charming villages, and a relaxed pace of life. But they’re also popular, which means the most beautiful spots can be busy during the day. Our lakeside walking holidays are designed to show you a different side: we take you into the surrounding hills and valleys, so you can look down on the water from peaceful trails, returning to the lakeshore in the evening, when the day-trippers have gone home and calm has returned.
Your days begin by the lakes, but you’ll soon be climbing into the surrounding hills, pausing at panoramic viewpoints. Lunch might be in a quiet mountain meadow, or at a small restaurant in a village most visitors never reach.
In the afternoons, descend towards the lake as the crowds begin to thin, arriving back in time for an evening stroll along the promenade and dinner at your hotel or recommended restaurant.
You can enjoy:
- Peaceful mornings on quiet trails with panoramic views.
- Flexible walking options, from easy lakeside paths to more challenging routes.
- Opportunities to explore by boat, cable car, or funicular.
- Evenings in welcoming accommodation.
