Guided Walking Holidays
Friday, 12 December 2008
Guided walking holidays offer the perfect solution for those people looking for a different kind of vacation. Our mantra of companionship, fitness and satisfaction encapsulates everything that we build our trips around.Of course the most important thing about embarking on guided walking holidays is the trust that exists between the walking party and the guide. Walkabout Holidays offer leadership, safety and flexibility and has over 40 years of experience in organising walking holidays and other mountain activities. Included within previous projects is the training of professional mountain leaders and assisting clients in reaching the peaks of Mont Blanc, Matterhorn and the Eiger.
Safety is of the utmost importance and in the mountains there are several factors to maintaining the safety of the group; experienced leadership, careful route selection, good decision making and sensitive party management. All of the guided walking holidays we organise follow well marked safe paths and we always ensure that the leader to client ratio meets the recognised best practice specified by the UK Mountain Leader Training Board. It is possible for the walking programmes to be adjusted on the day in response to the interests of the group, the fitness levels at that time and the weather.
