Admire the dramatic spires of the Dolomites in northern Italy on our guided Dolomites Walk, or enjoy the independence of a self-guided Dolomites Walk. For something different, experience the guided Gran Paradiso Adventure Walk, with views to Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn ranges from the high passes and lookouts encountered. Rugged valleys carpeted in wildflowers, rocky snow covered passes and glacial lakes are typical of these alpine paradises.

 

Besides these tours, there are trips that explore the Apuane Alps, Monte Rosa, the Via Ferrata, and more. Take a look at all alpine hiking tours in Italy here.

Switzerland is a fantastic place to experience fresh mountain air. The Swiss have a fascinating alpine culture to discover. One highly rated tour is the Panorama of the Swiss Alps, a centre-based trip in Meiringen. Meiringen is the perfect centre for walking holidays for all grades (plus you only have to unpack your bag once!). There are over 300km of well-marked footpaths, which range from gentle strolls to high ridges and even glacier exploring. In spring you can follow the melting snows into meadows of glorious Alpine flowers. In summer the high ridges and rugged glacial scenery become accessible. In autumn the landscape is painted with a riot of colour as the first frosts come. The potential for walking is limitless.

 

 

 

The Dachstein massif, southeast of Salzburg, is a small mountain range with dozens of peaks of 2500m or more, typified by its series of glaciers and sharp descents to the valley floor, the limestone mountain contains some of the largest caves in Austria. Take in the awesome views of ice fields and alpine meadows, limestone peaks and dramatic lakes as you trek this exhilarating circuit.
