Mountain Walking Holidays - Where Is Your Preference?

Its not quite that time of year yet, but people are still thinking about what outdoor activities they are going to get involved in this summer. For many, it will be mountain walking holidays that are the excursion of choice, and this is a common theme with many people, not least because this sort of activity is free. The cost-effective approach to going on holiday is undoubtedly a mountain walking break. But where is your preference for trekking up those mountains? Here are some suggestions:

Spain - okay, so it might not be the first place you would consider for a mountain walking holiday, as the lure of the sun, sea and sand might be more appealing for some, but there are areas of Spain that do actually have some great mountain walks. Between Valencia and Alicante lies a picturesque mountain range that is perfect for mountain walking holidays, and it attracts thousands of visitors each year. The Alicante Mountains are great for serious hikers or even the casual ones, because it is the sights that are breathtaking and ultimately appeal the most.

Scotland - the Scottish highlands boast some extraordinary scenery and a mountain walking holiday here is sure to prove memorable. Get on your hiking boots and try any of the mountains in Scotland that you genuinely think you can tackle. Some of them are a little steep, but give yourself plenty of time to reach your goal. That way, if the mountainous ranges are a little too much for one walking holiday, maybe try next time instead.

The Lake District - set in the heart of the UK, there are multiple mountain ranges in the Lake District that will appeal to even the most hardcore of mountain walkers. Try Grisedale Pike from Whinlatter Pass for stunning views and a memorable trek. The Lake District is known for its outstanding natural beauty and the area never fails to impress those that have visited it on multiple occasions. Mountain walking holidays in The Lake District are a worthy consideration.
