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

🇨🇭🚋 Did you know? Our Swiss Alps centre-based holiday includes a FREE Mountain Pass?

The Mountain Pass provides you with free use of cable cars, buses, and mountain trains up and down the Engadin Valley, including the renowned Bernina Express. This is a wonderful perk, representing a significant saving, as many of our majestic walks are accessed either by bus, mountain train or cable cars - or a mix of all three!

Plan your 2025 Swiss Alps walking adventure now and relish the thought of free, efficient and spotless transport to the trailheads of the Engadin's best walks. 👇

Introducing Garni Tofana – new Collett's accommodation in Corvara ⛷️❄️

This traditional Tyrolean guest house enjoys a tranquil spot just 10 minutes on foot from Corvara’s village centre and ski lifts, but you can do it in 2 minutes on the local ski shuttle that passes every 10 or 15 minutes. Either way, it's a brilliant base for a ski holiday.

This might be a guest house, but with Collett's your stay includes a fabulous 4-course dinner at the stylish Hotel Christian, just 200m down the road. Here, we have our own charming dining area.

What is the Sellaronda? And why should it be on every skier's bucket list? ⛷️

The iconic Sellaronda, at the heart of Dolomiti Superki, is a ski circuit like no other. It circumnavigates the colossal Monte Sella, providing 30kms of skiing clockwise and 30kms anti-clockwise, whilst visiting 4 stunning valleys: Val Gardena, Alta Badia, Arabba Livinallongo, and Val di Fassa.

❄️ Linked by some of the world's most modern lifts, the Sellaronda features charming villages, sublime lunch stops and minimal queues. The panoramic views and piste quality will leave you speechless!
