French Mountain Holidays

French Mountain Holidays. Everyone knows that mountains are for winter holidays – there’s snow, skiing, maybe a spa or two there’s always plenty going on.

Cold Crisp Days Are Great

Although it may not be the best weather for getting out and about, cold, crisp days are great, and a good time to get outside. What could be better than frost-covered hills seen against a clear blue sky? In the UK, we have such a variety of scenery, all inhabited by an equally diverse range

Albert Premier Refuge

This year we did Pinnacle’s second harder walking break, and it was a great success. We decided to do the Albert Premier Refuge walk and the views were wow.

Outdoor Clothing Repairs, try Lancashire Sports Repairs

Comici Hut

The Comici Hut is one of our favourite places to stop, be it for a drink or some lunch. The views from the Comici Hut across to the Sella group are awesome. The views to the Marmolada which is the highest mountain in the Dolomites look stunning. It’s a real winner with guests on our Dolomite

Best Stops on the way to the Dolomites

I often get asked by guests about the Best Stops on the way to the Dolomites. There are so many good hotels to stay in, however some stand out more than others. For me, the Hotel Kreuz on Lake Constance has to be the best stop on the way to the Dolomites we have come across
