The awe-inspiring collection of broad ridges and snow-capped peaks that stretches between France and Switzerland will be the backdrop for this fantastic 7-day walking holiday. You'll get to gaze at the tranquil waters of the great lakes of Geneva and Neuchâtel, before wrapping your head around the Eiger, the High Alps and, of course, the magnificent Mont Blanc. What's more, no two days of this holiday are the same, with the landscape alternating between verdant forests and farmland, open meadows, and limestone cliffs and broad ridges. You'll also get to bed down in a top selection of accommodations and feast on the very best local cuisine.

Reviews from this holiday:

"A thoroughly enjoyable holiday - and thanks to all at Inntravel (and at the various hotels we stayed in) for the planning and organisation undertaken on our behalf."

Mr K Walsh, 13/08/2011 Bishops Stortford

"Excellent varied walking in unspoiled countryside, away from any crowds - in May, at least. The Hotel Tillau is especially recommended, and the food of a high standard. This holiday is recommended for single travellers because of the relaxed inns and hotels with friendly staff."

Mrs F, 03/12/2009 Lancaster

"We took this trip in June 2007 and loved every moment of it. Highlights included getting licked to death and then followed by the world's friendliest calves near Grange Dernier; encountering an amazing variety of stiles; the lovely views from Mont d'Or and Le Chasseron; the imposing Château de Joux (well worth the side trip), and Madame Salomon's impossibly rich, delicious "Morbiflette" at Les Petits Fourgs. It was our first experience with Inntravel and we were so taken with both the company and the country that we booked another Swiss walking trip with Inntravel the following year ('Towards the Matterhorn', another great trip)."
