Collett's Mountain Holidays

My wife and I have been on 3 Colletts holidays in the Dolomites. Suitable for anyone for any age. I am 77 and can still find walks that are easy or hard depending on your ability. There are also adrenaline fulled walks and (very safe) climbs for the more adventurous. The staff and accommodation is excellent. The food and camaraderie at the evening meals is excellent.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE HOLIDAYS.

My dad and I recently finished the Camino tour with Collett's. This is my second tour with Collett's (previously did a wonderful Dolomites tour).The tour was excellent, from start to finish. The logistics, from arrival transport, luggage transport, and taxi pick-up, was efficient and well-organized. Javier, the on-the-ground guide, provided wonderful walking cards and a very thorough briefing to get us started on our self-guided walking tour.The accommodations were all unique and very nice. They were local places that we would have not been able to find ourselves! The provided lunches were good and more than sufficient. The provided dinners (3 in all) were also good, although we much preferred to go out and find our own bars and pintxos!The walking itself was beautiful and hilly. Most of the walking is along the coast and is stunning. The alternative paths provided a nice amount of challenge and were absolutely worth it for the views.

We have been on holiday with Collett's about a dozen times both skiing and walking, which just about says it all!The prices are reasonable and there is a lot of flexibility in departure/arrival arrangements. It's holiday not a selling opportunity for in resort 'extras'.The experience has been the same and consistently excellent over 15 years, if it ain't broke don't fix it.The unique thing about Collett's is the quality of the in resort hosts, whatever their age (and there are lots of ages!) they are engaging, inspirational and committed to both providing a great service and the mountains-but not usually in that order!Finally the back office is personalised and particularly helpful.

In early July my wife and I had a truly magnificent holiday with Colletts in Erwhald. The scenery was stunning with some equally stunning walks with the most memorable, for myself, being the Zugspitz Challenge. Our hotel accommodation was comfortable and well appointed and we were 'fed and watered' to a very high standard. Finally our thanks must go to the Colletts team in Erwhald; they could not have been more helpful and friendly. In short a very memorable holiday.

just had a fabulous week in the Pyrenees on the village to village walk to celebrate my 60th birthday with 5 friends. The walks were amazing: varied, challenging, interesting and the self guiding notes and GPS tracks were a great help. The hotels varied from posh to basic, but were all we needed and it was great to be fed in the evening after a long walk. The food also varied a bit: Some dinners were stunning, others just hot and filling, but it was a walking holiday, not a gourmet one so we were happy. The whole holiday was extremely well planned and I would definitely do a Collett's holiday again.

I had the most wonderful holiday with Collett's in Ehrwald in July. I was travelling as a single and didn't know what to expect, never having hiked with an operator before. I shouldn't have worried as the experience was spectacular. Collett's staff was incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough and the other guests were extremely jolly and congenial to a person. I plan to try Collett's program in the Dolomites next summer. Issue of being single hiker solved forever!

We used Collett’s to book and travel with for a summer walking holiday to the Italian Dolomites. From ease of booking through to communications, transfers and accommodation everything was well organised and smooth. We had a fabulous holiday in one of their half board chalets which was super clean and comfortable and the food outstanding.There was the option of guided walks at lots of levels, which we enjoyed low level ones of as we were travelling with young children.The holiday was great value, well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. We’ll book with Collett’s again.

Just returned from a fantastic week in Ehrwald. Great hotel, stunning scenery and brilliant support and advice from Klaas and Sharon, the Collett’s team. The comprehensive and informative guide notes were a huge help in tackling some amazing routes.

We have been having regular holidays with Collett’s since 2002 and it is a holiday which always guarantees to deliver a great time. The standard of the accommodation is always excellent and the walks are amazing. Even if you do not do the organised walks the staff will take time to identify one for you through their comprehensive selection built up over many years. It is always great meeting the young teams in the resorts who are always great fun. Due to our regular visits we often see the same team members as well as regular guests. Not once over our 19 trips have we ever heard any of the staff mutter any vague complaint about the company. Collett’s take as much pride in their staff as well as ensuring guests have a superb holiday.

We did the peaks of the Pyrenees in July with Collette's and had a fantastic walking holiday.It's the first time we've used them but certainly won't be the last everything was handled in a professional and friendly manner. From pick up at the airport to drop off we were transported too and from the walks by considerate staff who took the trouble to get to know everyone as they accompanied us on the road and trails making everyone feel valued.The walks in the mountains were stunning and the paths we took to the peaks often meant we were only sharing with our group and the vultures and marmots.Each evening office hour gave us chance to unwind and learn about the challenges of thecoming day.Exceptional service was the hall mark of this friendly family hotel, meals were excellent all served with a smile and a little help and encouragement with practising our Spanish.I've traveled with lots of different companies to walk the mountains and can honestly say Collette's gave us an unforgettable experience, we will use them again.
