Walking Holidays in the Alps

For majestic scenery, rewarding mountain ascents and delicious cuisine in quaint towns, nothing compares to an exhilarating walking holiday in the Alps. With diverse flora and fauna, interesting wildlife sightings and plenty of opportunities to wander through pine forests and old way-marked trails, our wide range of walking holidays in the Alps are perfect for every walking and hiking enthusiast.

On foot, discover the French Alps crevasse-scarred glaciers, crystal clear lakes and feast your eyes on the highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc, (or “La Dame Blanche”, to the French) from the summit of Aiguillette des Houches (2285m-7500ft).

While walking in the Alps you can also cross the border into to Switzerland. On this part of the route you can hike past wildflower meadows with views of the Trient Glacier towards the chocolate-box Alpine towns of Martigny and Orsières with formidable mountain panoramas as your backdrop.

For a slower pace, why not trek in the Julian Alps in Slovenia, to see the towering Mount Špik and beautiful Higher Falls. On our Slovenia Alps trip, you can also explore the Karavanke Mountain Range and head off the beaten track to hike to the peak of Golica (1836m) for a truly unforgettable view.

Although I travelled from quite far away, (Vancouver Island, Canada), I was so very pleased at the kindness and friendly attitude of everyone in the group. I was the eldest in the group (73 years young), but had absolutely no trouble keeping up. I would say this trip is not for the feint of heart; even at the end of October/early November the days were quite hot (although the evening temps were perfect). We experienced no bugs and no rain throughout the week. Definitely expect long days and some arduous climbs as well as steep descents. Hiking poles were essential. It was occasionally windy and cool at each summit but I was able to hike in shorts all week. I’m quite used to climbing mountains and found this itinerary to be just perfect. The accommodation was basic but comfortable; the food was good but at times limited for me as a vegetarian. Breakfasts outside were fantastic and the triple-decker sandwiches that José made for us were to die for. You definitely won’t be disappointed.

Who would have thought (without this trip) that there could be such astonishingly lively, unspoiled and (for the most part) unfrequented mountain terrain – and such beautiful and varied walking – just a stone’s throw from the infamous high-rise resort of Benidorm?
