Excellent tour. Dolomites exquisite. Eduardo,our tour quide was fun responsible and had considered all the safety concerns of our group. Eduardo was both knowledgeable and compassionate. The hotel was fabulous with sensational food. Bedrooms with ensuite comfortable and well equipped. This tour is moderate in intensity and was predominately Australians with one American. Mostly single women and a few couples. No single Men. Age group late twenties to early sixties. Personally I felt I needed more lengthy walks but that would not have suited others with less fitness. In general I met wonderful people -saw insanely beautiful scenery and was surrounded by peace and nature- sensational.

Each daily hike was carefully curated by our guide to best fit our group and the weather to showcase the Mont Blanc Tour. Breathtaking! The hospitality shown through our accommodation and food was excellent. Our guide, Adrian was fantastic. He was expert at knowing the hiking trails, safety and supporting/ guiding us at our individual skill levels. Such a personable leader. He was the key to the successful week.

Best time to visit Alps
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Switzerland's winter rail tours really come into their own from December through March, especially around Mount Titlis. The cable car takes you up to 3,000 meters where you can try sledging and walk through the Ice Grotto - our customers particularly enjoy watching the Alps roll by from the rotating Rotair gondola. The tours linking Zurich and Lucerne work well with side trips to Grindelwald and Interlaken, where the Bernese Oberland shows off its snowy beauty. Many travelers opt for the full Swiss rail experience on the Glacier Express and GoldenPass lines, which offer exceptional views across snow-covered peaks. When conditions allow, you can join guided winter walks on cleared mountain paths.

- Spring 2026
Spring brings a lovely balance to Alpine tours - fewer people around and mountains coming back to life. Nice's flower market is at its best in April and May, and you can take coastal walks before summer heat sets in. Our travelers tell us they love mixing glamorous Monaco with quiet moments in Villefranche sur Mer. The Italian lakes really shine now too - Lake Como's magnolias start blooming and Lake Maggiore offers clear views to snow-topped peaks. Swiss rail journeys this time of year let you catch winter's last appearance up high while spring flowers carpet the valleys.

- Summer 2026
The Alps' summer hiking season delivers excellent walking from June through August. Our Dolomites routes cover the trails around Tre Cime, Lake Braies and also cultural stops in Dobbiaco - the perfect mix of active days and local life. Mont Blanc circuit walks average 20 kilometers daily with serious elevation gain; it's challenging but worth it when alpine meadows burst with flowers. Slovenia's Julian Alps tours combine swimming spots with Triglav National Park hikes, while Swiss itineraries use long summer days for extended exploration around Zermatt and St. Moritz. The Swiss-Italian lakes combinations are popular but book up fast according to our customers.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall is ideal for exploring the Italian lakes without summer crowds but with pleasant temperatures. Our northern tours connect Lake Orta, Maggiore, Como and also Garda - perfect for tasting prosecco in Bellagio and wandering Bergamo's medieval upper town. The French Riviera works beautifully in autumn too; our travelers enjoy Nice's old town walks and coastal boat trips in comfortable weather. The clear mountain views and changing colors make it especially good for photography at every stop. For reliable train tours in Switzerland, Cosmos really delivers on the details - their guides know the routes inside out and their scheduling runs like clockwork according to travelers who've been there. G Adventures brings something special with their CEOs (Chief Experience Officers) who do more than just guide; they create this great group feeling that makes the whole journey more meaningful. If you're looking at the Italian Lakes, TourRadar has built up a solid reputation among their customers, particularly for being quick to respond on WhatsApp when you need them. They handle all the arrangements without any fuss, which means you can focus on enjoying places like Lake Como and Maggiore. For cyclists wanting to explore Italy, Road Bike Tours Italy offers something more personal. Their guide Luca gets mentioned a lot in feedback for knowing exactly when to push the pace and when to ease off, plus he's got this way of adapting routes to match what each group needs. He knows all the quiet roads and local spots that most tourists miss entirely. These companies actually deliver on what they promise - you're getting real value rather than just fancy marketing. What makes them stand out is how they handle the practical stuff while keeping the experience genuine and personal.

What's the best time to explore the Alps?
You'll find amazing experiences year-round but spring's really special with wildflowers everywhere and perfect hiking temps around May and June. Summer's great too especially July and August when you can tackle those high-altitude routes like our Trekking Mont Blanc that takes you through three countries France Italy and Switzerland. Fall's beautiful with all the colors changing though heads up some mountain huts on routes like the Tour de Julian Alps start closing up. Winter transforms everything from November to April and if you're into snow sports you'll love places like Zermatt where our 8 Days Switzerland Tour really comes alive.
What's the best way to find my way around the Alps?
The trails are actually really well marked with great signage and you'll get detailed maps on our self-guided tours like the Tour de Julian Alps trek and Cycle Around Julian Alps Slovenia. GPS and phone apps work great as backup but honestly having a local guide especially for tricky stuff like climbing Mt. Triglav on our Julian Alps tour makes such a difference they know all the secret spots and best routes.
How can I get around in the Alps?
Switzerland's trains are amazing they connect everything smoothly perfect for our Scenic Switzerland by Train tour. When you want those high views cable cars and gondolas are there like heading up to Gornergrat for incredible Matterhorn views or Mt. Titlis on our Swiss & Italian Escapade. Smaller places like along our Slovenia Multiactivity Week in Soca Valley you'll use buses and if you want total freedom rent a car like on our Enchanting Waters self-drive lake tour.
What local culture can I experience in the Alps?
You'll love getting hands-on with traditional culture here watch real cheese being made on our Hiking in the Dolomites tour or see how alpine farming works in Switzerland during our Country Roads tour. The village festivals are incredible too with authentic music dancing and amazing food especially during our SloveniHike Bike & Raft tour you really feel part of the local community.
