Our Centre-based Walking Holidays

Having recently returned from Chalet Roch in Corvara and Hotel Hinteregger in Matrei, I'd like to thank the staff in those locations for continuing to provide the winning formula for which Collett's are renowned. It certainly takes the pain out of organising a holiday for a mixed ability group.

Apologies to the Colletts team in Ehrwald for the slow feedback, mainly due to filling out insurance claims for a damaged hire car (not done by us!) and a German speeding ticket (who said you could drive as fast as you want in Germany!), but all that is another story!
I think this is our summer trip 18 but starting to lose count. As (Read more...)

Lots of lovely organised walks, plus great advice on self-guiding from Dani, Cam and the team. For hardier walkers there is plenty of scope for pushing your limits, and we returned home well satisfied (if tired).

We didn't hire a car this time and didn't need to. The train from Munich Airport worked well and is incredibly cheap!

From the off, our lovely Colletts hosts Sonny, Izzie, Anna, and Emily made this a wonderfully convivial holiday, added to by an interesting and friendly mix of guests. The Colletts 'office hour' every evening gave us an opportunity to investigate and discuss each walk that was offered, and to consider its merits. Beers and G&Ts, deliv(Read more...)

Thank you once again for a special holiday, particularly with it being our Wedding Anniversary when we arrived; Danni, Cam, Kate and all the staff made us feel so welcome as always, plus the hosts and facilities at Hotel Spielmann were simply brilliant.
The Zugspitze Arena really is a fabulous adventure playground and the more Mounta(Read more...)

We chose you because my friends and I have been with your Collett's in the Dolomites before and last year in Austria. We have always had a lovely walking holiday with your company. We did the hut to hut in the Dolomites and you sent lots of information, maps etc so we could be prepared to do our walking well. We might do an Austria hu(Read more...)

Wonderful time in the Dolomites. Walking was great, instruction helpful and facilities what we were looking for. As a family with 2 kids of 7 and 11 this worked great, despite being the only family in the group.

Excellent holiday. Great accommodation, trips to suit whatever mood takes you, and the chance to make new friends from all over the UK. We felt really well looked after on this trip and really enjoyed being able to relax and go out for well thought through walking expeditions, without the hassle of planning the logistics. It really (Read more...)

6 day hut to hut - faultlessly organised, great trip notes.
4 days in Chalet Angelo - the usual very high standard I’ve come to expect from Collett's. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, accommodation of excellent quality and plentiful good food. All add up to a brilliant holiday experience and the reason why I and many others are (Read more...)

Loved every moment at Haus Valentin. The staff, atmosphere, walks and activities were terrific and as guests came and went the ambience remained. The family Valentin and the chalet are lovely too.

This was our second time with Collett's and our first time in Ehrwald. We had a really good holiday. Dani, Cam, Kate, Ted and Tim were excellent hosts; warm, friendly and very knowledgeable regarding the walks and other things to do around Erhwald. They couldn't do enough for us to help make our holiday a success. The guided walks(Read more...)

What a fantastic first experience with Collett's. Just back from an excellent week walking the High Pyrenees. Cat and her team were great, very professional, choosing the right routes on the right days to take best advantage of the weather. Hotel Sabocos exceeded expectations; very friendly. Being able to relax with a beer at the end(Read more...)

Great location. Suburb hotel. Excellent leaders. Multiple walking options. Great value.

Probably the best Collett's holiday so far (it's my 5th time) - great location, stunning mountains, comfortable and roomy hotel (and rooms) and excellent staff. What I particularly appreciated was that two of the guides (Dani and Cameron) were older than usual. Given the average age of your clients (I'm guessing 50+) it's helpful to h(Read more...)

Great few days on hut to hut in Erhwald. Hotel Alpin was a lovely stop at either end of the walk. Hostess very friendly and welcoming.

We really enjoyed the huts- two very different in character. Wolfrathausen friendly, quiet and great food. Coburger bustling, good hearty food, fantastic setting and we really appreciated having o(Read more...)

Second time staying here for taking part in the maratona cycle race. The location is perfect, the staff are great, the food is great, storage for our bikes. My friend has been coming here for several years and I don't think we could find better.

Wonderful holiday, made enjoyable by your staff Sonny, Emilie, Izzy and Anna, a great group of people, very helpful, knowledgeable and good fun. Accommodation and variety of walks were brilliant and Sonny & Emilie managed the entire trip with skill and laughter.

We looked at your holiday information and then chose to return to the Sport Hotel Panorama in Covara... We don’t normally repeat holiday destinations so this is the exception! Thank you, once again, the Sport hotel is exceptional and in combination with all that Collett's offer, we once again had a fabulous walking holiday.

We had a fantastic walking holiday in the Dolomites. The views from our room were stunning, the food was delicious , the walks were amazing and all the Collets staff were brilliant. We could not fault any of it and will definately return.

We were a group of 12 family and friends including three US visitors in Ehrwald. For some it was the first Colletts holiday , for others it was our third . To everyone it was "special" . The location, hotel, walking, food and friendliness provided everything we wanted. Cameron, Danni ,Tim, Ted and Kate did everything to ensure succes(Read more...)

My friend and I had the most wonderful holiday in Ehrwald, Austria.

All aspects of it were spot on...the hotel, the food, the beauty of the Austrian Alps and the wonderful led walks.
However, as always, it is your staff that are the icing on the cake. They are warm, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and good company.

We will c(Read more...)

Had a great stay at Chalet Angelo in Alta Badia having turned up a couple of days before cycling the Maratona dles Dolomites with a couple of friends who had stayed there before. Beautiful and very convenient location, good facilities and friendly staff with excellent local knowledge. Joey, Jess and the rest of the team were extremely(Read more...)

Thank you for a wonderful stay in the Picos. We really enjoyed the walking, the supportive and helpful staff in particular, the scenery and the company. The hotel was good, too. Great.

As a regular Collett's visitor to the Dolomites this was our first visit to Austria and, whilst it's very different to the Dolomites it is equally majestic with stunning scenery and amazing walks. Massive thanks to Jo, Jack, Katie and the Hotel Hinteregger team for making us so welcome.

The food and company was excellent and I'm su(Read more...)

We had a lovely holiday and were very impressed by Collett's. Thank you very much and we thought the staff at Chalet Angelo were great, plus all the Rifugio bookings and taxi bookings you did for us were really efficient and lovely.

This was our second visit to Haus Valentin, Badia and it was just as wonderful second time around. Chalet Haus Valentin is delightful with good rooms, (we had one with a balcony and fantastic view), boot room, lovely bar with honour system and the most delicious food (and wine). But the most important factor was the amazing staff - u(Read more...)

Have recently returned from a wonderful 8 days in the Pyrenees with Collett's. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the organisation of the walks in those beautiful mountains was exceptional. Not only do they look after everyone and plan each walk well, they also managed to keep everyone amused maintaining great humour throu(Read more...)

Excellent holiday. Great apartment. Lovely walks. Friendly and helpful guides.

This is my seventh stay in Corvara with Colletts, my sixth in Angelo. I really appreciate the laidback style of the place, the superb location, the hearty food and the excellent staff. It all works very well for cyclists like me doing the Maratona Dles Dolomites. As always the booking process with the support of staff in Saffron Walde(Read more...)

Absolutely wonderful holiday in Ehrwald with a spectacularly good Colletts' team.

Liked:
the walking, especially the hard walks
the location - best walking we have had from a single centre in Austria over the past 12 years visiting
the mountain guides (who are, of course, not mountain guides...) - Dani, Cameron, Tim, Kate and Te(Read more...)
