The Classic Collett’s Walking Holiday in Austria and the Italian Dolomites

This was our second holiday with Collett's to Corvara. This time there were 3 generations of our family. The booking system was easy and we sought advice from your office in helping to decide what accommodation would suit us best. The youngest at 8 and 3 enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the chalet. We gave feedback on the activities(Read more...)

I have been with Collett's several times before and have always appreciated the your helpful and informative approach. The staff are friendly and informative. The accommodation excellent.

Just returned from a fantastic stay with Collett's in the Pyrenees. The hotel was brilliant and the hotel staff so helpful, friendly and professional. Panticosa and the Pyrenees is fantastic. We did the self-guided option and the staff at Collett's - Jo, Olly and Sandy - were great hosts and gave us detailed advice which enabled us to(Read more...)

I stayed with you in the Dolomites last year and the hospitality of your "non-guides" was as outstanding as a remembered. Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and just always eager to help...but none of it forced. A great combination with excellent non-guides. choice of hotel was also excellent with equally friendly and accommodatin(Read more...)

Previous year’s wonderful experience in the Dolomites. The customer service of your staff is what makes the hiking experience outstanding!

A wonderful introduction to Collett's who had been recommended by several friends over the years. It is a shame it has taken us so long. All the staff were unfailingly helpful and full of good advice, from both head office and once out in Corvara, on additions/alterations to our planned routes between huts as some in our group wanted (Read more...)

We always have good holidays with you. We don’t have to plan routes or think about the walking, we can just go to the hotel, Do the walks, relax and enjoy ourselves.

Have been with Collett's before and enjoy the freedom of choice available from booking to daily programme. Staff have always been exceptional. Accommodation and food excellent.

Another great holiday. All of our party very happy. It was our third visit to HV and on arrival felt perfectly at home. Staff were, once again, exceptional.

I've travelled with you before and had two excellent holidays, Austria last year and the Dolomites about 11 years ago. This was my first solo holiday abroad and knowing the Collett's format, was entirely comfortable at travelling on my own.

It was an excellent holiday and having an organised week of walks with all the transport inc(Read more...)

The Dolomites offer a very special and magical place for a walking holiday with such a variety of landscapes. Collett’s proved a great partner for the Dolomites with well chosen walks, great hospitality and an approach that is tailored to the area and the individual. It felt very much an easy and relaxing hut to hut adventure with not(Read more...)

The vision behind Collett's arrangements is admirable. The young people who managed everything to perfection were friendly, knowledgeable, organized, responsible, and fun. The chalet was comfortable and welcoming with a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and the rules were clear and sensible. The meals were delicious! The walks were beau(Read more...)

A fantastic holiday with excellent value for money!

All of the staff were terrific! Friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Previous positive experience with the company (in Dolomites), nice to have guided hikes in an area I did not know, easy way to meet fellow hikers.

Great experience! I would highly recommend to others (in fact, I already have!).

What a superb week. Fabulous walking and fabulous company. We love the Collett's set up - it works!!! Thank you to the entire team for working so hard to ensure everyone gets what they want out of their stay. A special thanks to Ben for looking after us so well, and to Kate - good luck this coming year!

Our week in Matrei was amazing. Each walk we did was carefully chosen by the team based on our experiences and needs. Every walk gave us something special, from challenging ridge walks to wooded walks with wildlife galore. Evening meals were also excellent, great variety and locally sourced. We were very sad to leave which in itself i(Read more...)

We have walked with Collett's before and we know that you offer an excellent combination of flexible accommodation and activities with helpful, friendly, attentive staff who take the time to ensure everyone is having a good time.

Thank you so much to Clare, Kate, Ben & Henry for their professional enthusiastic approach to their cus(Read more...)

Thanks to everybody at Collett's over here and in Europe.We go with you every year!

This was our 15th Collett's holiday- we keep coming back because we really like the way Collett's do things but most of all because of the special staff who work for you, who always impress with their friendly and unflappable approach, people skills and professionalism.

Originally recommended by a friend about 10 years ago. We had a very good holiday with Collett's in the Dolomites.

Although I couldn't join in with any of the guided walks, I really appreciated the communal meals with the staff and other guests, all of whom were very friendly and welcoming. The staff really were exceptional in maki(Read more...)

Just enjoyed a fabulous week walking the Collett's classics. This is the 2nd time we have holidayed with Collett's (Dolomites in 2018). Great location, lovely hotel and excellent food. No trouble catering for one of our friends (Ray) in the party who was 100% gluten free.
The walking was fabulous and even on the one rainy day Collet(Read more...)

We wanted an 'easy' holiday with transfers, hotels and varied walking. We certainly got this and more with great and attentive Collett's staff, a really good hotel and stunning walks in the central, highest part of the Pyrenees. The Colletts staff were excellent with their attention to detail, great humour and calm approach. A really(Read more...)

When a family member who had had a great experience with Collett's in Spain heard that we were planning a trip to the Dolomites, they highly recommended you to us. After researching options and pricing, Collett's offered the most affordable option for a self-guided hut to hut hike. The transportation options fit with our plan of trave(Read more...)

Absolutely! It was worth every penny. We were so happy with our experience, start to finish. This was part of a 3 week trip to Europe and our stay with Collett's was by far the highlight of the vacation.

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed my recent holiday with Collett's - the walk organisers Jo, Ollie and Sandy went out of their way to help guests and were fun to walk with. The Hotel Sabocos was of a very high standard and the staff there were very accommodating, even serving gazpacho on the last meal! Many thanks for making(Read more...)

Great website and options for hikes. Finding a 6 day trek with private rooms. The maps were great, the hotels were adequate and weather was wonderful after a hot week biking in Bavaria.

Having used Collett's for several holidays in the past, I knew they would be reliable for everything.

Discovered Collett's during an internet search for self guided hikes of the Dolomites. The website had great photos that drew me in!

We selected to do the self-guided grand tour of Alta-Badia in July 2019 and it was just fabulous.

The Collett staff were very helpful and enthusiastic - they all seem to love their jobs.
The Rifugios were of a good standard and the walking tracks were challenging but so worth-while.

We loved the Hotel Panorama in Corvara. It was a fab holiday.The staff were lovely as always and it is always good to catch up with those that I have met on previous holidays. As I was traveling with a non-walker and we had a car we did our own thing most of the time, which worked well.

An absolutely amazing holiday that will stay with me for a long time. Collett's staff are all so helpful and make sure that you get the most you can from your holiday. Scenery, walking, food and companionship were second to none. I would certainly book again, in fact I am searching through the website again now!!
