Mountain Climbing
Europe is a top place for mountain climbing, and holiday-s.co.uk can help you plan your trip climbing the mountains of Europe. There are many mountains to climb on this beautiful continent, from Eastern Europe to Scandinavia, those of the sunny Mediterranean countries to the famous Alps mountain range which stretches across France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Slovenia.
The Alps are a place mostly associated with mountain villages, snow and skiing, but they are also a popular place for diving in the freshwater lakes and for climbing. Climbing the mountains of Europe is a great way to take in the spectacular natural scenery and to challenge yourself.
The highest mountain in the whole of Europe is Mont Blanc, France, which is in the Alps. It is a popular mountain to climb as it is a great achievement for many climbers. Other popular mountains to climb in the Alps include Matterhorn which is on the Italian-Swiss border and the Monte Rosa which is Switzerland’s tallest mountain.
Holiday-s.co.uk also recommends climbing the mountains of Europe in the Pyrenees. The Pyrenees mountain range forms part of the Spanish-French border, and many come here for rock climbing and mountaineering. There have also been various climbing competitions in the range.
Though lesser known, the Scandinavian Mountains, which stretch across Norway, Sweden and Finland, offer challenging and rewarding climbing opportunities. The area is generally cold, so summer is the best time to visit, and most of the mountains are far from any towns, making them tranquil and unspoilt.
