After a wonderful walk, end each inspirational day in a different village, where your luggage is waiting for you.

If you crave a walking experience a little less intrepid than our hut-to-hut walking holidays , take a look at our village-to-village walking holidays, on which we combine a sense of adventure with comfortable accommodation in charming, traditional villages. These point-to-point holidays are a discovery of glorious landscapes and characterful villages, all punctuated by absorbing natural and/or man-made features. When you arrive at your authentic, handpicked hotel, your luggage will be waiting for you, along with some welcome comforts and cuisine.

These trips are crafted with all the care and expertise that defines Collett’s’ reputation, coming with seamless logistical support throughout. You’ll be provided with a comprehensive Walk Pack containing everything you need for easy self-guiding.  Also, most routes are now accompanied by optional, user-friendly smartphone navigation.

If you would prefer not to pack your bags each day and move on, take a look at our centre-based walking holidays, all of which include the support of a dedicated Walks Team and much more besides. At the other end of the scale, check out our hut-to-hut walking holidays in the Dolomites, where mindboggling high trails link you with mountain lodges, where you get a comfortable night’s sleep, hearty cuisine, and the engaging camaraderie of other hikers.
