Walking Northern Europe in winter
- the quiet side of the mountain
Walking is one of the best ways to enjoy the Alpine winter: no previous experience, special technique, or specific clothing is required, and you move at a pace that allows you to appreciate every frosty berry and natural ice sculpture.
These holidays are about more than just walking, however. They’re about pausing for a warming hot chocolate at a welcoming mountain hut, visiting fascinating local towns and nearby cities, and relaxing at the end of each day in your hotel spa – or in front of its roaring lounge fire.
Depending on the altitude of your chosen location – and, of course, the conditions while you’re there – your surroundings may either be lightly dusted with snow or true winter wonderlands. Come prepared for all weathers – they’re all magical.
It's easy to reach our winter destinations by train
Our top tip for getting your holiday off to the perfect start? Ensure the journey to your destination is made as sustainably as possible. At Inntravel, we love rail travel for its reassuringly low carbon emissions, but that’s far from our only reason. We also love the relaxing and immersive experience rail offers – the chance to observe gradual shifts in the landscape, the comfort, the generous luggage allowances, and the easy check-in process. There are so many ways that Inntravel can aid and enhance your journey by train. By knowing which routes to select, which operators to book with, and how to decipher all those complex tickets and timetables, we ensure that travelling this way feels like a real extension of your holiday.
