Introduction to Summer Walking and Trekking

Welcome to walking and trekking tours. Our aim is to offer you the ultimate hiking experience by providing a professional and exceptionally high quality service. We use only experienced and fully qualified International Mountain Leaders to provide you with an unforgettable mountain experience. This qualification, which is recognised throughout Europe, means our leaders are legally qualified to accompany walking groups. Not all trip organisers use legal guides which could put you as a client at risk.

In partnership with Tracks and Trails  we have specially handpicked and designed what we believe are some of the most scenic and exhilarating walking journeys in the Alps. We offer breathtaking walks or hikes in several different areas some of which encompass travelling through three different countries in almost as many days.

All our International Mountain Leaders are consummate professionals with a passion for the outdoors. Our hikes are challenging, fun and educational yet designed to offer you a relaxing and stress free holiday.

Our trips are meticulously planned and by using two guides the group size is never more than eight. Our personal minibus support means that you have your luggage ready and waiting for you each afternoon at any hotel that has vehicle access. The minibus is also available for those that are feeling the pace and would prefer a day off from the hike. In this case a shorter excursion is often an option on arrival at that evenings venue.

The Mountain Leaders

Our regular guides, Lindsay Cannon and Julia Tregaskis, are both International Mountain Leaders.

Lindsay has spent over ten years exploring the Alps and has great enthusiasm for and knowledge of the mountain environment. When not in the Alps she lives in the Highlands of Scotland and reports for BBC television and radio on a wide range of environmental and countryside issues. Lindsay’s film work, which has seen her experience everything from ice-climbing, to pot-holing, and kayaking, enjoys a worldwide audience. She is also an enthusiastic rock climber and ski mountaineer.

Julia has worked in outdoor education since 2002 leading expeditions worldwide from Africa to the Himalayas. She is passionate about a variety of sporting activities, regularly competing in running, triathlon and cross-country ski races. Julia is also a BASI Nordic Ski Instructor. She previously worked as a Personal Trainer in London, so if you feel that improving personal fitness is a major part of your mountain holiday, then Julia is ideally qualified to give advice on how to reach your goal.
