Our Lakes & mountains holidays & tours
Ready to experience some of the most spectacular places on our planet? Our lakes and mountains holidays are here to help, with destinations spanning from Europe’s alpine panoramas to the jagged peaks and turquoise lakes of the Rockies and Patagonia. Whether you’re hiking above glacial lakes, wildlife watching or relaxing in a hot tub in a mountain chalet, they’re all steered by people passionate about sharing the beautiful backdrops – and who are equally passionate about protecting them. That could be by championing (and, on occasion, getting you stuck into!) conservation projects, buying produce from local vineyards and farms, and accommodating you in small hotels that invest in their communities.

Lakes & mountains holiday highlights
Active trips in amazing places
Our lakes and mountains trips have an adventurous streak. We can take you cycling on mountain roads, walking through wildflower meadows, rafting along white-water rivers, and swimming in cool glacier lakes – or combine them all in a multi activity trip. Some tours are point-to-point while others are centre-based, and they include a plethora of family-friendly adventures. Best of all, they’re created and steered by people who care deeply about the environment you’re exploring – often, because it’s their home. Our popular walking holidays also help you tread carefully, showing you how to preserve these paths for generations of adventurers to come.
Europe: for alpine adventures
When it comes to variety and ease of access, Europe is hard to beat. Our trips whisk you away to the mountain huts (and mountain hot tubs) of Austria, the lochs of the Scottish Highlands, the sharp, photogenic peaks of the Dolomites, and Switzerland’s luminous lakes and red mountain trains. And that’s just the classics: we also love recommending lesser-trod routes that support rural communities who don’t often get a share of the economic benefits of tourism. Traffic-free road trips through Slovenia, perhaps, or deep dives into the national parks of Montenegro. Wherever you go, hiking, yoga, swimming and photography are just some of the activities on the cards.
The Americas & beyond: Rockies, Patagonia & New Zealand
Lake Louise’s turquoise waters, Patagonia’s Los Glaciares National Park, Fiordland in New Zealand – some vistas have to be seen to be believed. Thankfully, we can make that happen. Our trips never stop at just the photo op, though – they always go deeper, offering walks with local guides who can share the significance of the peaks and paths to Indigenous people and point out wildlife you might otherwise miss.
Summer vs. winter
Ah, summer in the mountains: walking through wildflower meadows, swimming lakes, and days seem to last forever. But, oh, then there’s winter: the wonder of waking up to a fresh layer of snow, snowshoeing across frosty forests and frozen lakes, and the chance of seeing the Northern Lights dancing overhead. Caught in indecision? Our experts will help you choose the season that suits you. Departure dates are also thoughtfully planned, with active trips often skipping the busiest, hottest months or opting for quieter, cooler routes and activities instead.
