Centre-Based Walking Holidays

Find your holiday

Discover the alpine magic of the Dolomites, Austria
& the Swiss Alps on our centre-based walking holidays.

Our centre-based walking holidays offer you the flexibility to tailor your days just as you wish, rather than being confined to a fixed itinerary. Each of our charming mountain resorts is a perfect springboard for exploring your heavenly surroundings. You choose your accommodation, from luxury hotel, to traditional B&B.

Your Walk Pack is full of tried and tested gems, researched over many years, ranging from Easy & Idyllic Walks and Moderate Classic Hikes at one end, to Challenging Treks at the other. You choose whether to focus on one grade – or mix it up, pushing yourself one day and taking it easy the next. If you fancy a rest day, we have amazing non-walking scenic mountain days to recommend. The icing on the cake is our friendly local Walks Team, which knows every itinerary in your Walk Pack. Their daily support and vast knowledge will guarantee you a succession of wonderful walks, all within your comfort zone.
