Our Centre-based Walking Holidays

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...)

Absolutely everything was superb - the staff were so friendly the rooms were lovely the activities were great and as for the food - fabulous. I have also spoken to Dee Collett and told her how wonderful everything was! Can’t thank you all enough for a superb holiday

The Collett’s team in Corvara could not have been more helpful and obliging and are an asset to your organisation. They offered recommendations, advice, laminated route maps and then were open to feedback on our return each day. Chatting to them and meeting the other guests each evening over a beer at the meet and greet hour was grea(Read more...)

We both thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in the Picos. We spent a lovely week walking, eating, drinking and socialising, with others who shared a common interest. The atmosphere was most convivial. The leaders Sonny, Emily, Anna and Izzy were friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Office hour provided an opportunity to (Read more...)

100% perfect !!
Walks and scenery stunning , however a bit more challenging than my friend expected!! Will be returning!!

This being our 4th Collett's adventure. Are second to Ehrwald Austria and it exceeded our expectations, we even had nice weather. It was a fantastic holiday and the scenery on the walks climbing and biking was just breath-taking at times.

We I just finished a magnificent first time Collett's Vacation. I didn't really know what I was getting into!

It was a wonderful trip. I want to especially say how great the 'guides' were: Al & Ali were friendly and helpful at all times. Ali took us on a hike to the Pinnacles. He was kind, patient and above all - just plain fr(Read more...)

There are few occasions when I am tempted to write testimonials following a holiday. This holiday was different. It was superlative on so many fronts. Firstly, the "leaders" were excellent both in their organisational ability and there knowledge of the abundant flora and fauna. Secondly, the flexibility offered by the itinerary - t(Read more...)

This is our second visit to Corvara. Last year we were in Chalet Verena, half board (sadly no longer available), and this year, self catering in Alpi. Andy and I loved the Dolomites, and the whole Collett’s experience. It’s hard to think how the holiday could be improved!

Last year we were only in Corvara for a few days (we stayed(Read more...)

Danni & Cameron were amazing. Totally professional leaders of a quality team. Tim , Ted & Katy were inspiring youngsters. The whole team worked well together. I felt that they all gave 100%. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them.

I particularly liked the fact that the walks were varied in both terrain and ability and that di(Read more...)

Thank goodness for the walking - the scales are confirming the fab food! That's as well as Team Angelo, the scenery, the chalet and the company at the dinner table! Just as well - coming back for skiing next season - thank you all and can't wait for March!

Really enjoyed my stay in the Dolomites with Colletts cycling and walking.Well looked after by friendly and very helpful staff

Fantastic stay at Pension Angelo.Staff were absolutely amazing.Food plentiful and delicious.Could not fault anything.

Another incredible holiday with one of the nation's leading operators ... many thanks and congratulations to you all.

We really enjoyed our week in the Hotel Sabocos. Particularly early in the season, with little open in the village and no lifts or public transport, it was good to have such a welcoming base with good meals and the access to walking information in the folders as well as the advice of the Collett's staff.

My 4th Colletts walking holiday .. previously guests had raved about the Dolomites so I had to try it ! it's certainly a special place, I loved the wild flowers and the staff at Chalet Angelo were great.

This was our first walking holiday to Ehrwald Austria and it exceeded our expectations. It was a fantastic holiday and the scenery on the walks was just breathtaking at times. The Collett's staff Dani, Cam, Tim, Ted and Kate we can’t thank them enough, all of them were amazing. They were very knowledgeable of the hikes and the area,(Read more...)

Superb stay in the Dolomites. The team were excellent particularly Jane, Sandy, Angus, Jack and Ben. They really did their best to ensure we had a great stay.
We will no doubt be back.

Fab holiday, the best variety of wild flowers that I have seen. Great support from the Colletts team, we did a mixture of self guided (well signed) and guided walks. Food good, wine plentiful! Loved it.

Absolutely terrific week in the Italian Dolomites.
Great itineraries, excellent food and outstanding team in the chalet
Met some great characters
Look forward to my next trip

I booked with Collett's for the first time this year as a surprise for my husband for his 50th Birthday we chose self guided in The Dolomites. This was the most amazing experience in a truly beautiful part of Italy. The apartment , location , information and service from all the staff both in the Uk and Italy was so good. This was the(Read more...)

We just did our first trip with Collett's in Erhwald Austria. It was fantastic! It by far exceeded our expectations. The staff on the ground there, Dani, Cameron, Tim, Ted and Kate, were outstanding. Really amazing people. Very knowledgeable about not only the hikes but other activities in the area. The staff in Great Britain were als(Read more...)
