Summer Treks and Holidays
Trekking in the Alps began by offering treks in the Alps, but over the years the programme has evolved and expanded and Trekking in the Alps now runs a whole range of walks and holidays in various European destinations - "The Alps" does not really cover it anymore! As well as the French, Swiss, Italian and Austrian Alps, I also offer trips to the nearby mountain ranges of the Dolomites and, further afield the Pyrenees. I have been trekking in all these areas for many years and have discovered numerous hikes that take us away from the busiest routes into the real back country.

The other speciality for Trekking in the Alps is Corsica. I offer at least two trips there each year, one in the spring and one in the summer. This is an area I have visited a lot and I now feel I know this fascinating island well and can take walkers to some of the less frequented and most beautiful spots. Provence is another destination that offers many great walks, especially in the spring.

I offer multi-day treks, and Summit Weeks , which are now very popular. These weeks are based in hotels but will include two day treks, staying overnight in the mountains. The summits can be any altitude and are all accessible to walkers. These weeks can be gentle or strenuous depending on the group. They are flexible and allow us to explore the regions visited away from the regular trekking trails.

Winter walks are done on snowshoes and are based in the Alps. This has become extremely popular and every year I offer new walks for those people who return on an annual basis. Trekking in the Alps snowshoeing trips take place in the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. They tend to be hotel based with some overnights in the mountains. Hut to hut treks are not generally offered on snowshoes because this can be limiting according to the snow conditions. It is preferable to remain flexible on itinerary and to go to the areas that are safest and have the best snow on the day. Nevertheless we do spend some nights in mountain huts wherever possible.

The treks and holidays offered each year by Trekking in the Alps vary and inevitably not all treks feature each year. The list below is not definitive and will certainly be added to in future. It is here to inspire you and if there’s a trek here that isn’t on this year’s calendar, that doesn’t mean it can’t go if you contact me and say you’re interested in it, particularly if you’d like to make a private group. Trekking in the Alps is a small friendly set-up, and I want to know what you’re interested in.
