Hiking Tours with Great Mountain Scenery

Some hiking trips are about the destination. These are about the view. Macs Adventure's mountain scenery collection gathers routes where the landscape does the heavy lifting – from Norway's fjords and Scotland's Highlands to England's Lake District and Spain's Picos de Europa.

Hike above the Sognefjord, ride the railway from Oslo to Bergen, walk the Highlands and the Isle of Skye, or explore the limestone peaks of the Picos de Europa. For classic alpine views, the Bernese Oberland, the Italian Alps and the Swiss and Austrian Alps are here too. Every route is self-guided, with accommodation and route notes handled for you.

With 20+ years planning mountain routes, Macs Adventure is a leader in self-guided travel.

Which hiking tour has the most beautiful mountain views? “Most beautiful” is personal, but Best of the Bernese Oberland, Grindelwald Trail, The Highlands & Isle of Skye: Rail & Hike, and Mountains & Lakes of the Julian Alps are hard to beat for constant mountain and lake views.

May to October suits Scotland, Norway, the Lake District and Snowdonia, while July to September is best for the high Alps. Each trip page lists its season.
Where will I stay on a mountain route?
Guesthouses, inns and small hotels in mountain villages, valleys and fjord-side towns, depending on the itinerary.

Good hiking fitness and some experience with elevation. Our Moderate-Challenging and Challenging routes require previous alpine hiking experience.
