Lakes and Mountains Holidays
From UK peaks to Italian lakes, a Shearings lakes and mountains holiday spoils you for choice. Here's a taste of where we can take you…
Lake District, England: Cruise Windermere, potter around Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick, and tick off the region's most-loved spots – all without worrying about navigating the winding roads!
Scottish Highlands: Lochs, glens and drama at every turn! Ride the iconic Jacobite Steam Railway, cruise Loch Ness (keep your eyes peeled…) and soak up scenery that really is as epic as everyone says.
Snowdonia, Wales: Mountain valleys, mighty views and the Snowdon Mountain Railway to whisk you up Wales' highest peak – no hiking boots required!
Austria: Alpine valleys, the sparkling Lake Achensee (Tyrol's largest, no less) and options galore – including all-inclusive itineraries and tours that pair peaceful lakes with a dash of Viennese grandeur.
Switzerland: Unwind by Lake Lucerne, explore picture-perfect towns, and treat yourself to some of the world's most famous rail journeys – the Glacier Express and GoldenPass Railway are quite the ride!
Italy: Bliss out at the Italian lakes! Take day trips to Venice and Verona from Lake Garda, or fall for the ever-loved Lake Como and beautiful Lake Maggiore.
