From lakeside strolls to mountain hikes, Headwater’s got it covered

Headwater's 2007 walking and cycling holidays take in some of the finest mountain scenery in the world and, from gentle lakeside strolls to challenging mountain hikes, we've made sure we've got something for everyone.

If you're looking for classic, picture-postcard pretty villages, then you can't beat Austria and Switzerland. Here you'll find lush green meadows, colourful wild flowers, snowcapped peaks and stunning turquoise lakes. And the superb waymarking systems in both places mean that you never have to worry about getting lost either!

Travelling south, neighbouring countries Croatia and Slovenia offer outstanding natural beauty and are a gloriously undiscovered mix: breathtaking gorges, shimmering lakes, unspoilt off-shore islands, spectacular national parks and the cleanest waters in the Adriatic. There's great bird spotting opportunities too - look out for Borelli's eagles, white-headed vultures and alpine swifts darting above.

For Headwater customers wanting to explore further afield, our 15-day 'Contrasts of Chile' tour takes in awesome glaciers, spectacular fjords, steaming geysers and beautifully clear lakes over-shadowed by the snow-capped Andes: a truly unforgettable walking destination.
