There’s something deeply satisfying about a mountain walk – the crunch of the path underfoot, the sharp scent of pine, and the moment a sweeping view opens up before you. Whether you want to test yourself on a multi-day trail or savour the scenery at a more relaxed pace, our mountain holidays are planned so you can focus on the joy of the journey.

From gentle valley strolls to challenging high trails – we’ve done the hard work, so you can enjoy the climb.
Walkers who want the freedom to explore without following a group.
Travellers who appreciate comfort and local character at the end of each day.
Those seeking either a true mountain challenge or a gentler way to enjoy the high places.
Anyone who values a holiday where every detail has been thought through – from the routes to the resting places.

Wake to the clear light of the mountains and choose the day’s adventure – a high ridge walk with panoramic views, a gentle path through meadows, or perhaps a day of rest to enjoy your hotel’s terrace.

Pause at a viewpoint for a picnic, take time to photograph a wildflower-strewn slope, or stop in a village square for coffee. Your route notes point out the best places to rest, refuel, and take in the view.

At the end of the day, your handpicked hotel awaits – perhaps with a spa, a pool, or simply a peaceful balcony – and your luggage ready in your room. Dinner is often a highlight, with local recipes, seasonal produce, and regional wines.

A Stroll in the Italian Dolomites – UNESCO-listed peaks and mountain culture made easy, with cable cars and funiculars to avoid strenuous climbs, and a first-class spa hotel to return to each evening.

Walking & Wildflowers in the Engadine Valley – Stay in a frescoed village in Switzerland’s secret valley, with guided walks and the freedom to explore on your own.

The Austrian Tyrol’s Leutasch Valley – A high, sunlit valley surrounded by peaks, perfect for gentle exploration and crossing borders into charming Mittenwald.

White Towns & Rugged Mountains of Andalucía – Limestone ridges, soaring raptors, wildflowers, and the timeless rhythms of rural life, ending in dramatic Ronda.

Wherever you choose, you can expect:
Carefully planned, self-guided routes with varied scenery and rewarding views.
Comfortable, characterful accommodation where the welcome is genuine.
Meals prepared with local ingredients and regional recipes.
Luggage transfers so you can enjoy every step.

 

Not necessarily – we offer both challenging high trails and gentler valley routes, so you can choose what suits you.

Absolutely – our itineraries are flexible, with optional walks and plenty of opportunities to relax.

We handpick hotels and guesthouses that are as much a part of your mountain experience as the walking itself. Many are family-run, with generations of hosts who know these landscapes inside out and take genuine pride in sharing them with you. You might stay in a chalet with flower-filled balconies, a centuries-old inn tucked into a cobbled village square, or a stylish alpine lodge with sweeping valley views.

Each reflects the character, traditions, and flavours of its region – from hearty Tyrolean cooking and Dolomite woodcarving to Andalusian courtyards scented with jasmine. And because a day in the mountains should end in comfort, most offer excellent facilities, whether that’s a cosy fireside lounge, a panoramic terrace, a spa, or a pool where you can soak tired legs as you take in the view.

Our holidays are self-guided, so you walk independently – the only group is you and the rest of your booking party, but with our detailed notes and downloadable GPX tracks, you’ll feel confident navigating every stage.

For over 40 years, we’ve been exploring Europe’s high places – not just the famous trails, but the quieter, lesser-known routes that reveal the true character of a region. We know where to find the best paths, the most welcoming hotels, and those special moments that make a holiday unforgettable.
