Wake up and go 'Wow!'
Recipe: take an overdose of mesmerising scenery. Walk in it till mid afternoon. Add the unique pleasure of overnighting somewhere spectacular high in the mountains. Drink, eat and watch the sun set on your amazing surroundings. Go to sleep, wake up, repeat.
Step back in time in slow, sub-tropical Europe
Escape the cold and drizzle just as temperatures in Mediterranean Spain & Italy drop to - 'Perfect for Walkers.' Choose day to day whether to join an easy moderate walk or something harder and longer, but just as enchanting. Eat, drink and sleep extremely well.
Dolomiti Superski - not enough superlatives?
"Young, jagged and imposing, the Italian Dolomites are perhaps the most striking mountains in Europe. Although they are a stunning location for summer hiking, they are at their most sublime in winter"
