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 in 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.
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 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. TREKS

Creaky Knees Specials
Do stiff knees at the end of the day ruin your mountain hikes? Look no further there is a life after cartilage! Creaky Knees Specials: 4 and 6 day trips featuring challenging mountain hikes but with minimal downhill. After 20 years guiding here I can plan walks that take us high into the hills, with great views and spectacular terrain, and we'll use lifts / transfers to descend. There will inevitably be some downhill, but as little as possible - and you're allowed to limp a little! If you're fit but have knees / hips / ankles that are wearing out - these are the trips for you! Full programme will be available in Sept 2010 but do email me for more details.

The other speciality for
Trekking in the
Alps is 
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.

you want to be in the mountains but find the downhills an ordeal?
