Most European mountain holidays run from late spring to early autumn, when paths are clear of snow and mountain huts are open. July and August bring the warmest temperatures, while June offers magnificent wildflowers and September provides crisp, clear days perfect for photography.
Mountain weather can change rapidly, so layered clothing is essential. Good walking boots with ankle support are crucial for uneven terrain, while walking poles can provide extra stability on steep ascents and descents. Don't forget sun protection – UV exposure increases at altitude.
Our mountain holidays range from leisurely (Grade 2-3) for gentle explorations to challenging (Grade 7-8) for serious trekkers. Be honest about your fitness level when choosing – we offer "two leaders, two grades" on many mountain holidays, allowing different ability levels to enjoy the same destination.
