Our alpine walking holidays in Austria & the Italian Dolomites

The team in Arabba were outstanding throughout. Claire, Robin, Ben and Ben were really terrific - not just helpful they were great company. Really excellent throughout! Thank you for a truly terrific holiday.

I loved my first attempt at cross country skiing so much that I would love you to organise a beginners week.

We have had a wonderful holiday.

ALL your staff are amazing. We really admire you for taking on people like Danny and for giving your young resort staff such a great opportunity. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant holiday.

Outstanding

All very well handled. Thank You - Collett's team were excellent in every regard. So friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our holiday and would definitely use Collett's in the future.

All really well organised. Best I’ve ever experienced on a winter holiday.

We came away with other friends who were staying at A(Read more...)

This was our first holiday with Collett's and won’t be our last.

The hosted apartments in Arabba suited us perfectly. Our hosts Claire, Ben, Ben and Robin made us feel so welcome . They were totally committed to ensuring we had a wonderful skiing holiday, nothing was too much trouble. Their attention to detail was amazing and was v(Read more...)

Enjoyed a great week in Hotel Panorama, Corvara which was very comfortable, with delicious breakfasts and dinners and very friendly and helpful staff. Collett's were very efficient and helpful both in England and Italy. I had a bad knee so only snowshoed once, but James was very encouraging and kind when our projected route lengthene(Read more...)

We had a great week in Corvara, skiing. Nearly every day we benefited from, and enjoyed, the company of Sandy, Ali and John from Collett's. It was great not to have to get our heads around the piste maps, but to say where we fancied skiing, and using the local knowledge to use the best slopes and restaurants. We found their recomme(Read more...)

Nice accommodation and food, brilliant helpful staff. Everything was spot on. We will come again.

Truly outstanding holiday with Collett's in Chalet Angelo, Corvara. Staff were awesome. Food great. Cleanliness great. Skiing advice and hosting really appreciated. Thanks!

We enjoyed a fantastic week at Haus Valentin, in Badia, the team; Milly, Ollie, James, Jim, Alex and Justin (as well as Charlie, Tom and Danny from other properties) looked after our family group of 14 so well. We enjoyed skiing, snow-shoeing and fabulous hospitality. Thank you all for answering our endless questions and contributing (Read more...)

I just wanted to say what brilliant staff you have employed at Angelo.

We stayed over the Christmas period and had a great time. Yes the snow and mountains were great but the staff made it.

Can you pass my thanks on to all the people who fed us; cleaned for us and took us out on great days out.

You've got a great recruitmen(Read more...)

We had a fantastic week skiing in Corvara over New Year.
As always the staff in Chalet Angelo were efficient, friendly and helpful. This year though we particularly appreciated Danny very willingly offering to drive the minibus on the odd occasion when required. In previous years, we were very much told that this wasn't an option w(Read more...)

The chef had gone to great lengths to cater for both vegetarian and gluten free - the food was great and only complaint was there was too much of it!

This is my fifth outing with Collett's and again it has been amazing- the young people who looked after us were also lovely and couldn’t do enough to help - free transfers a real bon(Read more...)

The team at Collett's were first rate, can't recommend them highly enough!

Warm up week for the season and the new faces were already well on top of their game with local knowledge and taking every free opportunity to find out more. The welcome, hospitality and meals were well up to Collett's usual high standards. It looks like Haus Valentin has another winning team in place for the 2019 season. We are alrea(Read more...)

2nd consecutive holiday in Posada la Plaza and it didn’t disappoint. In fact it was even better with so much banter and laughter, such a great group.

This was the 2nd trip with Colletts to Corvara this year, the first for via ferratta and this one for cycling. Again it is difficult to fault the service provided. The accommodation in Chalet Tino was outstanding, all the reps were exceptional helpful and friendly and as ever, the dolomites did not disappoint. For cyclists, this are(Read more...)

This year I have stayed in June/July at Haus Valentin then four days in Ehrwald at Hotel Sonnenspitz and in September at Hotel Hinterlager in Matrei. They were all excellent. Haus Valentin is the most homely and knowing Monika, Christina and Rheiner well helps and I love his cooking. Sonnenspitz is the grandest and probably best for (Read more...)

Great accommodation. The team of guides were excellent. They provided details clearly and were very cooperative, pleasant and encouraging. Though only two of us were there for two days but they went with us on hikes and maintained the pace. Ride to the local train station was also very much appreciated!

My husband and I recently did the Northern Dolomites hut to hut self guided trip. We had no issues for any logistics during our vacation. The staff at Collett's was super responsive and well organized. We provided feedback on some “finer points” that we felt could be improved but they are minor and only icing on the cake...we would (Read more...)

We have had the most wonderful holiday walking the Pyrenean Peaks.
Cat and her team were all terrific and enthusiastic and keen to help us enjoy the Pyrenees as much as they do.
We certainly benefitted from their knowledge of the walks. It is impressive that they go and explore other walks/peaks on their day off.
Thank you very much indeed!

I just want to thank you and your Team in Corvara for assisting my wife and I in having a fantastic holiday in the Dolomites and a great way to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Since our first visit in 1990, this was our 4th and probably the best! Apart from a bit of poor weather (to be expected in any mountain environment) (Read more...)

This was our 6th trip with Colletts and we were not disappointed. The Pyrenees were amazing and the organisation was up to their normal high standard. If your looking for a challenge then this is it.

Seamless efficient knowledgeable service from whole team from start to finish!

Professional, caring, attentive delivering a first class break, by a first class team. Thank you.

This was an outstanding holiday overall, The overall holiday style offered perfectly for me and I think the flexibility works really well for people with different abilities and objectives for their stay.
The Haus Valentin was delightful and very well located. I particularly want to commend the staff who were always friendly, inform(Read more...)

We did the Grand Tour of the Alta Badia. All the organisation from Collett's was perfect - From the initial conversation a few months ago, to the info pack sent out a couple of weeks before the trip, to the actual bookings and rifugios themselves. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. The dolomites are such a special area. You sure do (Read more...)

A truly great holiday made better by the dedication and enthusiasm of Sonny, Anna and Emily in the Picos. There is no doubt that we will travel with you again. Many thanks.

I had an amazing time on recent trip to the Dolomites. Even though I certainly made life difficult for Beth and Pete by rearranging the times, losing the map and a host of other indiscretions they were always more than accommodating.
Loved the hike, accommodation was perfect, scenery spectacular, hike info and details provided was g(Read more...)

All Collett’s staff are excellent and those we met this year were particularly friendly and helpful, even with people arriving and leaving daily no one felt left out.

From the moment I reached out about planning a trip, to the last round of farewell beers at Valentin House in Badia, Collett's friendly, knowledgeable and efficient team delivered an amazing experience. Office staff was always quick to get back to us--whether my question was about potential dates, upcoming weather, appropriate footwea(Read more...)
