Walking Holidays in the Alps
Starting in the West, our Tour du Mont Blanc is a circuit of the massif bordered by France, Italy and Switzerland. Just to the South, in the Vanoise National Park is our new Tour of the Vanoise trip. Our Walker's Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt strikes out East across the Swiss Valais. Further North in Switzerland and making a full East to West crossing of the country is the Via Alpina. Heading East into Austria we offer the Adlerweg through the Austrian Tyrol. South into Italy we trek the Alta Via 1 and Alta Via 2: North, and finally at the South Eastern end of the Alpine chain are the Julian Alps, the fabulously rocky and colourful hills of Slovenia.
New for 2025 in the Alps
For 2025 we add the Alta Via 9, offering an exciting expansion to our Dolomites coverage! Unlike our other Alta Via trips, the Alta Via 9 crosses the Dolomites from West to East, taking in many of the famous Dolomiti peaks. In Switzerland we've looked into a new group of hills: those between Davos and St Moritz!

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. In Sweden we walk the first week of the spectacular Kungsleden, a trail in the far North within the Arctic Circle. Staying in a mixture of catered and self-catered huts, this trail feels remote and wild.
New for 2025 in Scandinavia
For 2025 we add the Lofoten Islands, offering further exploration into Norway! 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.
