Walking Holidays in the Alps

New for 2027 in the Alps
For 2027, in Austria we add the Lechweg - coming soon! A week-long trip following the Lechweg River through the stunning Austrian Alps and staying in comfortable hotels.

In Switzerland, we are expanding our offering on the Jura Crest Trail and on our Davos to St Moritz trek. The Jura range which sits just North of the Alps proper, without so much rockiness and steepness as we know from the Alps, whilst the Davos to St Moritz hikes through the classically Swiss Engadine.

Walking Holidays in Scandinavia

Our Jotunheimen Tour is a circuit of the highest and boldest national park in Norway. The hut system is outstanding, giving you a real flavor of Norwegian mountain culture. We also offer an extended version of the tour which ventures south into the wilder areas of the Jotunheimen National Park.

Walking Holidays in Scandinavia


New for 2027 in Scandinavia
We have no new trips in Scandinavia for 2027. Our newest trip in Scandinavia is the Lofoten Islands which we introduced in 2025. On the Lofoten Islands we offer a series of day-hikes to experience the best of what the islands have to offer, staying in comfortable hotels every night.

Please view our 'In the Pipeline' page for more information on routes we are working on:
