Guided and Self-Guided Hiking Tours in the Alps
Introduction
The Alps are one of Europe’s most inspiring hiking regions. High mountain passes, wide valleys, alpine meadows, clear streams and dramatic views create a landscape that is best experienced on foot. A hiking tour in the Alps is not only about reaching the next hut or the next summit view. It is about slowing down, feeling the rhythm of the trail and discovering Europe’s mountain culture step by step.
Sörmland Outdoor creates hiking journeys for people who want to experience nature consciously and actively. Our roots are in Sweden, where small groups, personal service and authentic outdoor experiences are at the heart of every trip. We bring the same philosophy to our Alpine hiking tours: carefully selected routes, good organisation, honest travel information and a friendly atmosphere.
Hiking holidays in the Alps with Sörmland Outdoor
Our Alpine programme includes classic long-distance routes, scenic multi-day hikes and special journeys that combine nature, movement and community. Some tours are guided, others are organised as self-guided hiking holidays. This gives you the freedom to choose the travel style that best suits your experience, your pace and your expectations.
Whether you are planning your first multi-day mountain hike or looking for a new route in the Dolomites, Austria or the wider Alpine region, we focus on trips that offer real value: beautiful landscapes, realistic daily stages, suitable accommodation and a clear structure before and during the journey.

Who are these Alpine tours suitable for?
Our hiking tours in the Alps are designed for people who enjoy being active outdoors and want more than a standard package holiday. Depending on the tour, they are suitable for experienced hikers, active leisure walkers, solo travellers, couples and small private groups. Some routes require sure-footedness, stamina and mountain experience. Other journeys are more moderate and focus on enjoyment, scenery and a balanced daily rhythm.
We pay particular attention to solo travellers. Many guests travel alone but do not want to feel alone on the trail. Small groups, shared evenings and a relaxed atmosphere make it easy to meet other people without losing the personal character of the journey. This is an important part of our philosophy: You’ll never walk alone.
Guided tour or self-guided hiking holiday?
Different hikers prefer different ways of travelling. A guided Alpine tour offers orientation, group spirit and the support of an experienced tour leader. A self-guided hiking holiday gives you more independence while still benefiting from a planned route, selected accommodation and clear travel documents. Both formats can create an unforgettable Alpine experience.
On each tour page you will find information about the travel format, route character, accommodation, daily stages and level of difficulty. This helps you choose a trip that matches your fitness, your hiking experience and your preferred pace.

Experience the Alps step by step
From the E5 Alpine crossing to the Dolomites, from the Adlerweg to the Lechquell region, every tour shows a different side of the Alps. Some days are challenging, others are quiet and scenic. Together they create the special feeling that only a multi-day hike can offer: arriving somewhere new each day, carrying the impressions of the trail with you and sharing the experience with others.
