Collett's Mountain Holidays

Collett's Mountain Holidays Since 1997 we have been offering the very best walking holidays in Europe, and skiing holidays in the Italian Dolomites. Thank you for your interest in us.

Take a look at our website (www.colletts.co.uk), and let the mountain holiday experts take care of your next adventure. We are an independent, ABTA-bonded holiday specialist offering organised and self-guided walking holidays (and more) in five of Europe’s most majestic mountain ranges. We started 20 years ago in the Italian Dolomites with one chalet, hosted by me and my wife, Dee. Now we are the

UK’s genuine specialist for walking holidays with a unique formula in the Italian Dolomites, the Austrian Alps – Zugspitz Arena or Hohe Tauern National Park, the Picos de Europa and the Pyrenees. Walking is the main attraction, but we also offer flower walks, painting strolls, cycling tours, glacier treks, via ferrata and much more. Other Collett’s holidays include: hiking the Camino de Santiago or the GR11 in Spain; self-guided hut to hut in the Dolomites and Austria; Spring and Autumn walking breaks in Andalucia – plus our ever-popular skiing and snowshoeing holidays in the Dolomites. For some UK walking, our gorgeous guest house in Wensleydale is the perfect springboard for the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We have also added a diverse range of self guided UK walking breaks with a little something to suit everyone. Our painstakingly‐recruited hosts and walkers set us apart from the rest. They don’t wear uniforms or sell excursions. They are simply on hand (1) to make you feel welcome and supported, (2) to organise free, optional and unforgettable walks of all grades and (3) to pass on their local knowledge enthusiastically and constructively. Here in the UK, most of us have lived and worked in our destinations – myself included. We use our first-hand knowledge to ensure your booking experience is a reassuring pleasure. The most common request from the guests who stay with us year after year is to keep it small and personal. Their wish is our command. Wherever you choose to go, we are sure you will share our appreciation of the sheer magnificence and charm that awaits you on a Collett’s mountain holiday. We look forward to seeing you in the mountains soon. To see how it all works visit our website - https://www.colletts.co.uk/

We hope to see you in the mountains soon! Tom Collett

Just you, a sip of coffee, native flora, and mountain vistas for miles around. Sound like paradise?

This is the sort of moment that punctuates a Collett's centre-based walking holiday in Austria's Tyrol. A member of our Walks Team, Connie, found the perfect tranquil trail, on which to enjoy her coffee while checking out our Handschuhspitze hike. The hike is a guest favourite, featuring one of the most dramatic peaks in Tyrol, providing sensational panoramas in all directions.

As the UK's remarkable summer tails off, what about a guided walking holiday in Andalucia's Autumn sunshine? Our prowling ground is the Sierra de Tejeda, an hour from Malaga, a region that is Moorish, mountainous, and abundant in wildlife.

Our ever-friendly and experienced guide, Mick, will reveal the area's most breathtaking spots on a series of inspirational moderate walks, where rugged mountain trails lead to olive groves, ancient Roman bridges, and traditional whitewashed villages, abundant in Mudejar architecture.

One such village is our base, where guests can enjoy authentic Andalusian hospitality with sociable evening meals, often served al fresco.

Looking for an Autumn walking break?
Why not trek a tranquil northern section of the Camino de Santiago from San Sebastian to Guernika? Blend refreshing coastal breezes with lungfuls of sea air, and the tantalising scents of Basque country cuisine.

Your daily hikes hug rocky coastal paths, revealing gems like the vibrant port of San Sebastian, where chilled white wines accompany fresh seafood feasts and the best tapas in Spain. Pick your way along cobbled paths in quaint villages like Getaria, far away from the tourist traps of many other Camino de Santiago routes.

This Village-to-Village holiday combines the freedom of taking days at your own pace with a carefully curated hiking itinerary that links attractive village stopovers, where your baggage awaits. Each accommodation is thoughtfully picked by Collett's for its charm and authentic Basque hospitality.

How about taking your final summer break to new heights in Austria's Tyrol?
Or, at least, put it on your 'go-to' list for next year?

Either way, this is a walking holiday that bags some of the most dramatic panoramic views in the Alps. For the fit and experienced, you can indulge in precarious ridges and limestone peaks, whilst the gentle strollers can marvel at picture-postcard alpine landscapes on idyllic valley trails.

Our resort Walk Teams spend their days tracing the best routes for our classic centre-based walking holidays. Come to Ehrwald and use their extensive local knowledge to get the best from your time in a mountain paradise.

This photograph was taken by our Conny, who was hiking the Handschuhspitze, one of the many handpicked routes you can enjoy when embarking on an Austrian Alps Collett’s walking holiday. For more information, please visit our website:

Wind down for the approaching cooler seasons with a Village-to-Village break you can take at your own pace after the frantic summer period.

You can have it all with a last-minute expedition to Corsica, which will offer you sunny mountains, sea and sand in the Med's most mountainous island. A self-guided trip, each day you can choose between the wildlife of the national park, the sweeping gorges of Tavignano and cultural hotspots such as the historical Genoese Bridge, depending on your interests.

Nighttime brings a welcome from family-run accommodation serving up speciality cheeses, fresh seafood and local cured meat delicacies to satiate you after a day on the trails.

The Dolomites: where high trails, electric-blue lakes, and startling rock formations combine to create a hiking heaven. So, why not get up close on a Collett's Hut-to-Hut trip, as you trek between unique sleeping spots: rustic rifugios tucked high into the mountains, where the food and facilities might surprise you.

Set out each morning after a good night's sleep and a fuelling breakfast, making your way through awe-inspiring rocky massifs and knife-cut valleys, arriving in the mid-afternoon at your next stopover.

We work directly with each mountain lodge to craft this point-to-point adventure, but it's a popular holiday with limited capacity, so be sure to book well in advance. For more information, visit our website:

Skirt around the crystal-clear lakes and gaze up at glistening mountain glaciers: you haven't experienced true high-altitude alpine beauty until you've visited the landscapes of our base in Switzerland's Upper Engadin, where we deliver our classic centre-based walking holidays.

Sils is a village hemmed in by two sparkling lakes of teal-blue water. In the majestic peaks that surround it, our routes have been carefully researched by people like Taea, a long-standing member of our Engadin Walks Team. She took this photograph while hiking Passo and Lagh di Lunghin, taken above Maloja looking over Sils lake.

With its dappled, changing light, vibrant grape harvest, and perfect walking temperatures, Autumn is the ideal time to visit Tuscany. Spend sunny mornings on the famed white tracks (or 'strade bianche') flanked by vines heavy with grapes. Pass through medieval hilltop villages, where you can try local wines, some of them world-famous!

Back at your uniquely charming accommodation, you can indulge in authentic Tuscan hospitality, plan your walks with our Walks Team, and savour seasonal local dishes, sourced locally, if not grown in the gardens that surround your beautiful accommodation.

We've got limited dates available for this September & October, so visit our website for more information.

All summer, our Walks Team in Switzerland's stunning Engadin Valley has been blazing the trails. So, if the Swiss Alps in September takes your fancy, some magnificent routes await you. This is alpine walking at its best.
