Walking holidays

Walking is one of the best ways to get to know any area and it's an incredibly exhilarating experience in the mountains.

You can tailor your walks through the magnificent Alpine landscape to suit your ability and fitness - from challenging, peak-topping hikes to leisurely ambles through picturesque meadows and forests.

• Austria is a walker's paradise, with more well-marked trails than you can shake a walking stick at. The captivating views, fresh mountain air and abundance of cable cars, buses and lifts make for an incredibly rewarding, exciting and accessible experience.
• The summer hiking trails in The Dolomites are just as exciting as the skiing on offer in the region through the winter, with a huge network of well-marked paths to explore.
• There's some truly incredible walking on offer in Switzerland. The Lauterbrunnen valley at Wengen is a particular highlight - and staying in Grindelwald will give you easy access to the north face of the Eiger.
• Chamonix in France is another great choice for walkers, whether you prefer gentle strolls or challenging hikes. Use the ski lifts and the Mont Blanc express to take you deep into the mountains and then make your own way back along some spectacular routes.
• Slovenia is another gem for walkers.
