Lakes & Mountains Holidays

From soaring peaks to picture perfect lakes, some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes provide a pleasantly tranquil experience. Seek out a serene escape, away from buzzing cities and crowded beaches, to relax and re-charge on a lake or mountain holiday.

Ride through alpine meadows aboard a mountain train for unforgettable views to the Swiss resort of Zermatt, or soak up views of the crystal waters and the green pastures that sit beneath the towering Matterhorn’s slopes. Fall for the charming shorelines of the Italian Lakes, or spot grizzly bears near breathtaking Lake Louise. Perhaps take in crisp mountain air in the snow-capped alpine paradise of St Moritz, or ride a gondola-like pletna into the heart of Lake Bled to tiny, tear-shaped Bled Island. Whatever your tastes are, whatever the season, the spectacular scenery and fresh air of a lake or mountain holiday will leave you at once recharged and fulfilled.

Discover the beauty on your doorstep and explore Europe’s stunning lakes and mountains with Newmarket Holidays. Take in the serene settings of Italy's Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda on our Italian Lakes tours, or take one of our combined tours into the lakes and the Swiss Alps. If you’re after a more adventurous break, perhaps go in search of nature at its most spectacular in far off lands and take one of our escorted holidays to the Canadian Rockies. From bears to elk, moose and golden eagles, the wildlife that makes this incredible land of glorious glaciers, languid lakes and steep summits is simply unforgettable.
