AIBU to ask for ideas for cheap holiday in place at lots of mountains?

[FluffyGoalXXXDX]

Just dreaming where we could book for a holiday for next year. Ideally very cheap with lots of mountains.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Wales camping

Scotland camping

Drive to the Alps, to go camping!

I hear northern Italy is very popular.

Some good ideas. Thanks!

Easyjet have cheap flights to innsbruck and Geneva in the summer especially midweek flights. We hired a car and booked airbnbs, we did this last year and had booked for this year but probably wont be going now. A lot of places have free or cheap 'summer cards' which give free access to cable cars and outdoor pools. There is loads of stuff for kids to do. We went to Serfaus in Austria last year and had booked for Mayrhofen this year, both in Austria.

not sure of a specific place but it might be worth looking at places around snowdonia in wales?

Annecy we did Euro camp there, access to lake, great walks in alps, easy drive to chamonix Our kids still rave about the holiday several years on.

Slovenia?

I hear northern Italy is very popular I really fucking hope you actually mean that.

What sort of mountains? Little ones you can trundle up in a comfortable walk in a day? Bigger ones with some challenging walks? Rocky ones with climbing? Great big ones with ice climbing? Pretty ones to look at and go up in the odd cable car?

We loved Crete. We had a lovely holiday in the mountains there, amongst the olive groves. Sigh. Really hoping we get the chance to go back while we're still young enough to enjoy it....though we also love Scotland and Wales. And don't discount Northern Ireland - okay, it doesn't have many mountains, but it's undiscovered, it's generally not overcrowded in the slightest, the people are so hospitable to tourists (honestly, you'd be surprised if you've not been there before, especially round the North Coast and Donegal), and the food is so, so fresh.

Asturias, northern Spain. Coast, mountains, food... Got it all!

I second Slovenia. Specifically Lake Bled or Lake Bonhinj.

Yes, northern Italy is very popular for summer mountain holidays, walking, mountain biking etc. Like the rest of the Alps, Italian Lake District, Garda, Como etc. Finale Ligure, the area just over the French border, is particularly popular with mountain bikers. Also city breaks in Milan, Venice and probably other places.

And yes, when we're all allowed to travel again, northern Italy will be somewhere where people should look to go, as they'll probably need the tourism business.

We stayed at a Eurocamp near Lake Annecy. Glorious scenery and wenr a drive through the mountains, saw Mont Blanc.

Zell am see in Austria it is beautiful. Attached picture is from the top of one of the mountains overlooking lake Zell

Went to the black forest last year, great value. Flights were £250 for a family of 4 in August on a midday flight. Mountains not massive but loved it.

Plenty of mountains in Scotland.Stunning scenery.

Thanks for all these fantastic ideas!
@ShinyMe I was really thinking of somewhere with mountainous landscapes rather than us doing heavy duty rock climbing.

Scotland had good mountains

Near Loch Morlich? There is a gorgeous campsite up there. It’s right at the foot of the Cairngorms.

I’d go for the Cairngorms or Snowdonia in the UK.

I was reading today about the mountains of northern Albania being nice for a holiday.

Have a look at Camping Jungfrau in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. You can drive there quite easily and camp. Or they have their own (quite basic) accommodation if you prefer to fly. Once there, the local trains and buses are great so you don’t really need a car. It’s a very reasonable price size, although Switzerland can be pricey for eating out. The most beautiful place I’ve ever been😍

Bavarian Alps ... or Lake Constance (German Side) with spectacular mountain backdrop! Holiday lets are responsible at around € 700-1200 for a week for 4 people...

Or of course the Swiss Alps!
