Dear |nghams Guests, The Summer of 2018 turned out to be one of the hottest on record, which together with England’s relative success in the Football World Cup saw many choose to holiday at home. The lure of Austria and Italy however, still attracted many of you, those seeking pure fresh mountain air or the picturesque lakes and countryside in Italy. For 2019 I am delighted to bring you our new collection of holidays. You’ll find all your old favourites, from Seefeld to Garda, together with some tempting new options in the shape of Canazei, Italy (page 118) and Ruhpolding in Germany (page 218). You’ll also find an appealing selection of tours and multi-centres (pages 20-39) making it easy to do and see lots with minimum hassle. Don’t forget a Resort Card is included in many locations, which include benefits such as free use of lifts and buses; free guided walks; museum and pool entrances and youth and children’s programmes for those travelling en famille. We trust that you will choose to travel with us in 2019. It’s a special year for us as we celebrate our 85th year in business.

Paul Carter

Inghams Chief Executive Officer paul@inghams.co.uk P.S. Don’t forget that as always, all our Early Booking Offers and Inghams PLUS benefits are ‘first come, first served’. Once offers have expired, holiday prices will have to be increased, so, as always, the message is book early to avoid disappointment. Offers may be changed or withdrawn at any time.

About Inghams Holidays

Experience & Expertise

Inghams Lakes & Mountains holidays are all about enabling you to enjoy the best parts of Europe, staying in hand-picked accommodation to suit your budget. Whether you are into walking, cycling, sightseeing or some serious relaxing, we have something for you. We offer everything from 3 or 4 night breaks to longer stays of 7 nights or more, everywhere from remote mountain villages to bustling lakeside towns and some of Europe’s best-loved cities.

Inghams’ in-depth knowledge of Europe’s most outstanding Lakes & Mountains stems from 85 years of experience. During this time we have built long-lasting relationships with hoteliers and have discovered amazing locations for our guests to experience the best of Europe. This means that you can be assured of the highest levels of quality and service when you travel with Inghams.

Our holidays include flights (available from 24 UK airports), accommodation, meals as advertised and the services of our award-winning in-resort Reps who are on hand to provide ideas and information and to ensure that your holiday runs smoothly. The majority of our holidays are single centre with a selection of multi-centre options available (see pages 16-19 for more information). However, if you can’t quite see what you are looking for, please let us know and we will work hard to deliver a holiday to your own specifications.

From the moment you contact our knowledgeable office team to returning home after a wonderful holiday, we will take care of you. If you need a little help with your holiday choice or are after more detailed information, our friendly Reservations Team can help. There is always someone in the office who has visited the area you are considering or has stayed at the accommodation you are interested in and therefore can give you helpful advice from their personal experience.

Call our knowledgeable Reservations team

Our In-Resort Service In most resorts, we have an Inghams Rep based in resort, who will be on hand to greet you at the airport, guide you to your transfer and answer all your queries during your holiday. Our Reps are widely acknowledged to be the best in the business and pride themselves on their extensive local knowledge. Whether offering advice on the best trails to go walking, where to buy ferry tickets or the best local attractions, there is no one better placed to help you make the most of your precious holiday time. In our smaller and more remote resorts, the area Rep arranges visits. We will always provide you with a phone number for a member of our experienced overseas team to give any support and assistance you may need throughout your stay. We are delighted to receive so many comments on how our Reps ‘made’ your holiday. Although it’s good to know that our Reps are on hand, our holidays are also perfectly suited to those who prefer to be completely independent and do their own thing. Further details about our Rep service are available on the individual resort pages that follow.

Good to know

Remember that one of the major advantages of booking with a responsible Tour Operator like Inghams rather than 'doing it yourself', is that we take responsibility for your arrangements. So, if something does go wrong - if say, your airline cancels or reschedules your flights, it becomes OUR problem, not yours, to resolve which we'll usually do at no extra cost and we'll save you the worry and inconvenience of having to find alternative flights or waiting for hours for a call centre to answer your enquiry.

Exclusive to Inghams You will find Exclusive to Inghams listed under many of our hotels in the brochure. This simply means that we are the only UK Tour Operator to offer the property to UK guests. It reflects the hotelier’s strong relationship with Inghams - built up over many years - and the enjoyment they derive from hosting Inghams guests.

Inghams Select Hotels Where we feel that a hotel is that little bit ‘extra special’ we’ve highlighted it with an Inghams SELECT icon on the brochure pages. To achieve this recognition, the hotel must have a proven history (from guest feedback) of offering the highest standards of service and comfort within their star rating. Most of our Inghams Select hotels offer accommodation on a half board basis and feature a good selection of extra value inclusions for Inghams guests. At Inghams Select hotels you can look forward to great value and a very warm welcome!

Inghams Partner Hotel Ratings Because the ‘official’ star rating systems vary from one country to another, our own Inghams star rating of each hotel is shown alongside the property name. These ratings are based on our own inspections of properties as well as guest feedback. Official ratings (where applicable) can be found under the respective price panels.

Hotels Managed by Inghams In three delightful locations we have the following hotels, run by carefully-selected teams of Inghams staff. They provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all of our guests whilst on holiday. You will find them in wonderful mountain areas, perfect for walking, cycling and relaxing. You can make full use of the local amenities found in the picturesque mountain village locations and enjoy tranquil surroundings and fresh mountain air. Their proximity close to the lift systems quickly take you higher up into the mountains to reach walking trails and dramatic viewpoints.

Setting off across Alpine meadows or through green summer valleys on foot is simply the most wonderful way to enjoy the natural beauty of our Lakes & Mountains resorts. Snow sprinkled peaks glint above while lakes sparkle below. Picturesque villages cling to the mountainsides in the distance, while tumbling streams, distant bird song and the sound of cowbells provide the soundtrack to the day. A world away from the hustle and bustle of life at home!

Our first time in Austria and it was terrific. The area was wonderful and the guided walks superb. We were very impressed with Ellmau in every aspect along with the hotel and their staff. Mrs Scoble, Ellmau, June 2018

Walk with Us on our Exclusive Guided Wanderwalks In many resorts you'll see the 'Walk with Us' box. In these resorts, for a small charge, we offer our exclusive Wanderwalk programme - walks guided by our own Reps or a guide. Along the way, you'll explore popular local trails and learn all about local geography, history and the flora and fauna. Our guests regularly tell us how much these walks have added to their holiday enjoyment. There's no need to book in advance - your Rep will give you full details of the walking programme on arrival. Our Wanderwalks vary in duration and difficulty but don't worry, your Rep will help you choose the ones that are right for you.

Country / Resort

For guidance, our Wanderwalks are graded as follows: RREasy - gentle walks on easy terrain with some uphill sections on shallow gradient. Suitable for anyone who is used to walking a few miles at a time. No minimum age. RRModerate - pleasant rambles, mostly on well-marked paths over varied terrain with longer stretches of gradient than easy walks. Suitable for anyone who is reasonably fit and active. Minimum age: 14.

Resort Orientation Walks In many larger resorts we include a free orientation walk accompanied by your Inghams Rep on the first day to help you get your bearings. As well as finding out useful information such as where the nearest bus stop is, the location and opening times of the supermarket and where to buy lift passes, the walk provides a great opportunity to get to know your fellow guests and chat to your Rep.

Popular Walks Our holidays are based in some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe and many guests make the most of it by exploring on foot. How much of your time is spent walking and the difficulty of the terrain you choose to walk in is entirely up to you. Our brochure is full of information about the best choices for walkers and when away, our Inghams Reps are on hand to give you all the help and advice you need about the best places to go walking. To help guide you to the resorts which are the best choice for walkers (where we don't offer Wanderwalks), look out for our 'Popular Walks' section throughout the brochure. This indicates areas where there is a wide choice of walking trails on offer in the most scenic parts of Europe. Most trails (especially in Austria) are very well marked with regular signposts making self-guided navigation very straightforward with the aid of a map. In each ‘Popular Walks’ section you will find a brief guide to the type of walking terrain you can expect and a list of the most popular walks in the local area.

Europe contains a treasure trove of natural and historic sites with endless options for visitors to enjoy. Each country has its own distinctive character and regions within countries vary enormously with their culture, scenery and cuisine. Here are a few suggestions to help you get ‘under the skin’ of the country you are visiting and make the most of your time away.

Your Choice of Excursions

Opera in Verona

Food and Wine

Our excursions have traditionally been the easiest way for our guests to get around and about. Each resort has its own carefully selected excursions which you can book before you depart or in resort with your Inghams Rep. A helpful guide will be with you to point out places of interest and even somewhere nice to eat your picnic lunch! See individual resort pages for full details.

Whether or not you’re an opera buff, an evening under the stars in Verona’s ancient amphitheatre (page 103) is one of life’s unmissable experiences. The programme includes Verdi’s Aida, alongside performances of other Verdi and Puccini operas as well as gala evenings. We can arrange seats for you, either as part of an excursion from our Lake Garda resorts, or as part of a stay in Verona itself. Early booking is essential, particularly for the popular numbered stall seats.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, a Lakes & Mountains holiday won’t do your waistline any favours! All our half board hotels offer local dishes and very often have themed evenings and barbecues. If you’ve a sweet tooth, head for Bled in Slovenia (page 198) where the Kremsnita - a glorious vanilla custard and cream combination on puff pastry is to die for!

Do your Own Thing! Consider Switzerland with its fantastic, efficient transport network encouraging visitors to explore this beautiful country at their own pace by boat, bus, train and mountain railway. Other operators charge extra for this service but all our holidays in Switzerland include the Half-Price Travel Card worth nearly £100 which gives you up to 50% reduction on travel costs. Our great value Swiss travel and walking passes make getting around even easier.

Festivals

Joining in a local festival really adds to your holiday memories and enjoyment. The Bardolino Wine Festival, Lake Garda (page 87), marks the end of the summer wine season, a good opportunity to sample some of the fine local wines. The International Flower Festival in Bohinj, Slovenia (page 196) attracts visitors from all over the world. And we love the Almabtrieb in the Austrian villages when the decorated cows are brought down from the mountains and the Village Festival in Mürren with its live music and costumes (page 240). But for sheer fun, you can’t beat the Knodelfest in St. Johann, Austria where there's a variety of different flavoured dumplings being served on the longest dumpling table in the world!

Glorious Gardens Whether you’re someone who enjoys the simple pleasure of wandering through a garden or are a keen gardener, you’ll find an abundance of gardens to explore in this brochure. We are delighted to feature Norway’s Flor & Fjære (page 43) set on an island north of Stavanger. These gardens are unlike any others in the world and our trip includes a fjord cruise and a delicious meal. Amongst our other favourites are the Andre Heller Gardens in Gardone, Italy (page 98); the Castle & Gardens of Lake Constance Escorted Tour (page 26), the Alpengarten Patscherkofel near Igls, Austria (page 140), in Switzerland, the Schynige Platte Botanical Gardens near Interlaken (see page 232).

All the countries we feature are noted for their excellent wines. Always ask your wine sommelier to recommend a good local wine rather than going for one you recognise from home. They’ll be delighted to share their knowledge and you’ll get to taste a gorgeous wine you would otherwise probably have overlooked. If you’re in Slovenia do try the wines there as none are exported to the UK and they are superb - trust us!

Music If you love jazz, how about the world-famous Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland (page 260), or Cosmo Jazz Festival in Chamonix (page 206) There’s a Blues Festival in Lake Levico (page 68) dates to be confirmed. We mustn’t forget to mention Salzburg (page 126), Austria’s Festival City of Music and the birthplace of Mozart. It’s held in July every year but final details are still to be confirmed. The month of July features the Lake Bled Music Festival (page 198). Less sophisticated, but great fun nevertheless, are the brass band concerts which are held almost every week in many mountain villages and the castle.

7 Reasons to give E-biking a Spin We invited blogger Helen Gilbert to try E-biking with us. On her blog, RelaxYaSelftohealth.co.uk, she says, “Although electric bikes have a battery pack, you still have to pedal otherwise you’ll fall off. But it’s good to know that I have three ‘boost’ options to help navigate the trickier parts of the hill. I get to grips with my bike and merrily pedal along before tapping the magic box next to my handlebars. Whoosh – there’s instant power. It feels rather exhilarating. Yes, I’m slightly huffing and puffing – you still have to cycle – but I’m not drenched in sweat. No wonder then that Berchtesgaden in Germany, Kranjska Gora in Slovenia and Alta Badia in Italy are popular E-biking destinations. It really is a rather fantastic way to get about.” Why not choose one of our destinations in the Alps and try E-biking, you won’t regret it.

Inghams Lakes & Mountains was the proud winner of the first ever Silver-i Award, awarded at the prestigious Silver Travel Awards in July 2018 in recognition of Inghams’ innovative E-biking programme in Kitzbühel, Austria. Montreux Jazz Festival

Twin & Multi-Centre Holidays Wide Range of Twin & Multi-centre Options

Slovenia

The world is getting smaller, and at Inghams we are passionate about opening up our world as travel dreams are getting more and more ambitious. We are here to help you fulfil those holiday dreams by putting together your perfect itinerary. Our multi-centre holidays let you visit more than one destination in a single trip. You can go on a multi-centre tour in a country like Slovenia, before relaxing at a lakeside hotel. Or, combine your lake holiday with a stay in a city break in Venice for example. You may have a fixed plan which you can entrust to us to organise. Or you may simply have a budget in mind and be open to advice and suggestions. Either way we’d love to help you create fantastic memories on your travels.

Resort and Country Combinations Of course, you can visit two or more resorts within a country but we highly recommend combining two countries – easier than it sounds! For example we would suggest France and Switzerland or Italy and Austria. We have decades of experience in organising such combinations, and we will ensure you receive the best arrangements possible. If you have an idea for a country combination that you don’t see on these pages, please do let us know and we will do our best to create your chosen itinerary we’d love to try and help you. Over the next three pages, you will see some inspiring ideas for your next holiday.

Austria

France / Switzerland

Italy

Our twin-centre holidays to Austria give you the opportunity to visit tranquil lakes such as St. Wolfgang or Zell am See with stunning Alpine scenery such as Westendorf or the stylish town of Kitzbühel. Any two resorts within Austria can be combined as long as you fly in and out of the same airport

Choosing just one resort for your stay in France can be quite a challenge! Crossing the border to neighbouring Switzerland is easy, with transfers by rail from Geneva airport. Our new Iconic Mountain twincentre holiday allows you to experience the stunning scenery of Zermatt and Chamonix with a trip on the Mont Blanc Express thrown in, which is an experience in itself.

With a great network of trains and short distances between some of Northern Italy’s most popular towns, it couldn’t be easier to combine two or more destinations here. Pair the pretty town of Gardone Riviera on Lake Garda, which is filled with spectacular gardens, with the calm shores of Lake Ledro – a freshwater lake surrounded by Alpine forest. Or, hop between Lake Como and Maggiore to experience two very different lakes that are both equally beautiful. We can organise all the arrangements and arrange private transfers or car hire between resorts making your Italy mulit-centre holiday seamless.

France You can combine any two resorts within France. Transfers are included via local bus, rail network or direct taxi. Switzerland With scheduled flights departing on 4 days a week, two and multi-centre holidays of any duration are possible. You can combine any two or more resorts of your choice. Transfers via the Swiss transport network are included. France & Switzerland Transfers will be via Geneva airport.

Norway

Salzburg

004-019_L&M_M19_Intros.indd 16

We’ve created a number of multi-centre holidays to Norway to really show off the best of the fjords. Using local transport, such as the ferries, often make the transfer between the resort feel like an excursion in itself! See page 17 for options.

Slovenia The diverse country of Slovenia has so much to see, with its tranquil lake villages, stunning mountain scenery and the historic city of Ljubljana. New for 2019 we have a 3 centre holiday taking in the hamlets of Bohinj, Bovec and the stunning village of Kranjska Gora, all of which are on the doorstep of the Triglav National Park. Twin and multi-centre holiday are possible between all resorts. You can also combine Slovenia with Austria when flying to/from Salzburg.

Our top multi-centre suggestions

Our /taly Product Manager Xavier suggests... With none of the modern trappings, Venice is a city like no other and can easily be combined. Spending a few nights in one of the world’s most romantic cities before moving onto Lake Garda is highly recommended. The towns on the lake can vary greatly - from the mountainous scenery in the North to the undulating scenery of the South. My favourite resort is Riva which with its dramatic views is a great contrast against Venice’s historic backstreets.

A multi-centre is the best way to make the most of your holiday time. Perhaps spend a week in the mountains before relaxing in a lake resort or exploring on a city break. The possibilities are almost endless but we’ve come up with a few of our favourites. For more options, head to inghams.co.uk or give us a call.

Venice

Magnificent Dolomites scenery

Riva

Lech

Italy - Lake Garda and Venice Twin Centre

Mountain Medley - La Villa, Italy & Lech, Austria

Venice needs no introduction. The quaint canals, stunning piazzas and intricate buildings have been drawing visitors for centuries and its accolade of being one of Europe’s most romantic cities is well-deserved. Wander through the small alleys and over bridges and stop at one of its many cafés. The atmosphere in St. Mark’s Square is always magnetic and a short stroll from here will take you to the Grand Canal where you can take a gondola ride through the city’s waters.

Experience the contrasting cultures and scenery of the Italian Dolomites and the Austrian Alps. La Villa nestles peacefully at the foot of the mountains and is a popular destination for walking with an array of trails to suit all levels, or simply relax in one of the local restaurants and enjoy an Aperol spritz, the famous Italian apéritif!

Just a couple of hours from Venice sits Italy’s largest lake. A popular destination during the summer, you’ll find people sitting in restaurants along the shores of the lake enjoying the views, strolling along promenades or perhaps taking a dip in the calm waters. It’s easy to get around the lake with the frequent ferries so make sure you explore the towns. Sirmione is a must-see with its fairy-tale like castle and fantastic gelaterias, Malcesine boasts a cable-car where you can find some of the best views of the lake and Riva del Garda is backed by mountainous scenery and is a popular resort for lovers of watersports. See pages 72 & 101.

004-019_L&M_M19_Intros.indd 18

Lech is a sought after destination for travellers looking for summer up in the mountains. Between June and October, the village turns into a hiking centre for those who love to explore the beauty of the Austrian Alps. There are many walking trails for all levels of fitness including the beautiful Green Ring that is a circular hiking trail that goes around the mountains that surround Lech. If this is all too strenuous for you, take a trip on the cable-car to appreciate the gorgeous scenery of the region, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy an Austrian beer. See pages 112 and 134.

SLOVENIA

Our Slovenia Product Manager Zuber suggests... Discover the Julian Alps Slovenia is fabulously diverse country set at the foot of the stunning peaks of the Julian Alps and is brimming with natural beauty. Discover magnificent landscapes, dramatic scenery, and the varied flora & fauna and wildlife of the Julian Alps by visiting three resorts surrounded by this wonderful mountain range. The majestic backdrops are formed by the jagged summits of Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain (2,864m) and namesake of the country’s National Park which covers 880 sq. km. See page 27.

Slovenia has been a firm favourite with Inghams guests so we are delighted to offer this 3 centre holiday. Kranjska Gora

FRANCE & SWITZERLAND

Our France Product Manager Bryony suggests... The Iconic Mountains Tour Spend an awe-inspiring week in the two iconic resorts of Chamonix in France and Zermatt in Switzerland. The resorts are dominated by the majestic peaks of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn respectively, providing stunning views. Explore the many walking trails or just drink in the atmosphere from the many cafés. Travel between the two resorts is on the spectacular Mont Blanc Express, an experience in itself. If this week just isn't enough, continue your journey to Grindelwald and take in the majestic sights of the Eiger! See page 34.

Chamonix and Zermatt are my two favourite resorts in the Alps, so what could be better than combining the two! I never tire of the views, my favourite time of day is dusk, when the mountains turn pink under the setting sun. By this time, I've also had an amazing day exploring the trails on bike or foot and finished with a cold drink in a lovely café. If only every day could be like that!

Your next stop is Loen, an awe inspiring display of mother nature's finest work with excellent walking opportunities, stunning emerald lakes and spectacular glaciers. Finish your trip with a stay in the Art Nouveau city of Ålesund, island hopping is a must here - Runde Island is known for hosting over 80 species of bird, join a guided boat trip to see them up close! The fjords of Norway feel limitless and your visit to Norway doesn't have to end here, why not extend your stay with additional nights in Bergen or Ulvik to complete the collection? See page 30.

Focusing in the northern Western fjords, this 7-night holiday combines a stay in the ‘glacier’ resort of Loen, home to some of the fjords most spectacular scenery, with the vibrant coastal city of Ålesund. It is a great option for those who wish to get up close to nature. Located at the end of the Nordfjord, guests can explore the arms of the largest glacier in Continental Europe and Loen’s surrounding walking terrain. A contrasting stay in the sunny city of Ålesund allows guests to get out onto the water at the entrance to the fjords.

Day 1 Fly to Ålesund airport where a transfer will be waiting for you to Loen, situated on the Nordfjord (approx. 3½ hrs). A warm welcome awaits from your Inghams Rep, ready to share their wealth of knowledge and recommendations for your stays in both Loen and Ålesund. With focus around the impressive glacier arms in Loen we offer optional guided excursions to the Kjenndal and Briksdal glaciers, both of which are accessible by foot via a short gentle walk. On the drive, you will pass some of the Nordfjord’s breathtaking

scenery including the turquoise waters of Lovatnet Lake and the cascading waterfalls of Oldedal Valley. At Briksdal, there is also the option of taking a ‘Troll Car’ to the glacier (approx. £20 per person). Another ‘must-do’ is a day trip to the Geirangerfjord, stopping at the Dalsnibba viewpoint on the way, for a memorable cruise past the famous Seven Sisters waterfalls. Or venture out by foot around Loen’s surrounding pastures, waterfalls, peaks and walking trails at the top of the Loen Skylift cable-car.

Day 4 or 5 Today, you will transfer back to Ålesund centre. Your Inghams Rep will brief you before you depart Loen on the options available to you during your stay in this small Art Nouveau city. Ålesund Tourist Office, located just at the harbour front, also offers Inghams guests a welcome meeting twice weekly. Ålesund is a bustling port and seaside town, totally rebuilt after a fire in 1904 in an Art Nouveau style. Less-visited than other cities in Fjord Norway, it has retained its authenticity and charm. From here, decide whether to take the ‘Royal Fjord Route’ on a Hjørundfjord cruise, visit the ‘Atlantic Road’ & ‘Trollstigen’ National Tourist routes (pre-bookable round trip by public transport), visit one of the many city museums detailing the area’s fascinating history, or the surrounding islands and skerries including Runde Bird Island by boat. A trip up to the top of Mount Aksla, reached by bus or 400 steps from the city centre, provides an excellent view over the city and harbour, especially at sunset.

We believe Norway's region of greatest natural beauty and diversity belongs in fjords of the Western coastline. The fjords are the soul of Norway and the iconic image that springs to travellers’ minds when thinking about this awe-inspiring destination. With UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the ‘Bryggen’ old fishing houses of Bergen, the medieval Stave Church at Urnes and some of its best known fjords, picture postcard scenery is around every corner as you explore this unique landscape. Nowhere else in the world do you find such steep lush green mountains protruding from calm tranquil waters and with crystal blue glaciers above. From Stavanger and the Pulpit Rock in the south, the historic city of Bergen, and vibrant Ålesund in the North, plus all the magnificent scenery in between - stunning fjords, dazzling glaciers, magical mountain forests and impressive thundering waterfalls - and you’re sure to be met by the warm hospitality of the Norwegian people along the way. With Inghams, you can explore this wonderful country as you wish - relax in one of the tranquil resort hotels taking in the views, enjoy some gentle activity with the plentiful walking and cycling opportunities, or explore the amazing landscape with the variety of excursions on offer which let you discover the true spirit of the fjords from both water and from land - take a look at the resort pages for exactly what is on offer.

The quaint cobbled streets and white wooden houses of the old town date back to the 18th century and the ‘Norwegian Canning Museum’ details Stavanger’s former importance in the canning industry. The narrow streets are lined with museums, shops and a good selection of restaurants and bars. Outside of the city, the main attractions for this region are cruises to the picturesque Lysefjord, home to the iconic ‘Pulpit Rock’ as well as the lesser known ‘Flor & Fjaere’ island - a paradise for flower lovers - which is simply out of this world!

In summer the meadows are full of wild flowers, and the network of well-marked walking paths make the region a great choice for walkers. There is a wealth of breath-taking scenery, and in Ulvik itself, there is cycling, boating and fishing, but your lasting memories will probably be of the serenity of the setting reflected in the crystal clear water of the bay.

Popular Walks Ulvik and its surrounding areas on the Hardangerfjord have a good selection of walking trails of all categories, which are well signposted and accessible from the village. The walking terrain is not Alpine and is therefore accessed by foot from the village or using local public transport rather than a network of mountain lifts. The local tourist office has developed the trail network considerably to allow guests to get even closer to the wonderful nature this area has to offer. Inghams guests also receive a free walking booklet 'Hardangerfjord Hiking Highlights', describing the most popular trails (one per booking, issued in resort). Inghams Suggested Walks Fruit and Cider: An easy walk through the renowned fruit orchards of Norway. All three family run farms are situated along the same road, offering various local juices, cider, apple brandy and jams. Jonstøl Summer Pastures: Perfect for experienced walkers, this half-day walk from Ulvik to Jonstøl Tunheim passes summer pastures (approx. 6km each way), with the opportunity to stop at the Syse fruit farm on the way back for some local refreshment. Gunnarsete: A moderate half day walk starting in nearby Aurdal, ascending to Gunnarsete on the way to Kvasshovden before descending through the countryside back down to Ulvik village (approx. 8km). Kongsberg: A moderate walk from Ulvik to the Kongsberg mount at 685m, returning the same way or via Aurdal to make it a round trip (approx. 7km)

Why not try our Resort Combinations You can combine your stay in Ålesund with a stay in Loen on our ‘Glaciers & Coast’ fixed 2-centre holiday, the popular 'Fjord Explorer' multi-centre, or our popular ‘Highlights of the Fjords’ escorted group holiday - see pages 28-33. See pages 16-19 for details.

Ålesund is a bustling port and fascinating seaside town facing the Atlantic Ocean at the entrance to the region of outstanding natural beauty and some of Norway’s most dramatic fjords. Due to its position, it enjoys more days of sunshine throughout the year than areas deeper into the fjords. After a devastating fire in 1904, the town was totally rebuilt in Art Nouveau style, with a myriad of turrets, spires and medieval ornaments which are still present today. In addition to the many museums, there is a variety of interesting day trips to the surrounding islands and skerries of local fishing communities dating back to the Viking era.

Lake Levico

LAKE LEVICO

I T A LY

Italy

Peaceful, Alpine lake encircled by lush forests, hiking and cycling trails

Popular Walks Lake Levico is the perfect place for lovers of walking with an excellent variety of hikes for all abilities. Below are a couple of suggestions but many more walks are available locally through the Levico Tourist Office. Please note that some walks involve reasonable transport costs. Fisherman’s Path 45 mins each way / Easy This shaded and easy stroll along the banks of the lake allows walkers to take in superb views of the lake and its surroundings. Discover Levico’s flora and fauna with this walk suitable for all ages and abilities. Following the eastern shore of the lake along the affectionately named ‘Fisherman’s path’ is a great start to walking in Levico. A full circuit of the lake will take around 3 hrs to complete. Benne Fortress 2-3 hrs / Moderate Simple walking route around the Colle delle Benne to see an Austro-Hungarian fort built in the 1880s. About 2km from the centre of Levico Terme, the fort is on a hilltop with excellent views over Lake Levico. Return to Levico Terme via a scenic path which joins the lake at Barucchelli.

One of Italy’s cleanest lakes, Lake Levico is an unspoilt spa resort known for its crystal clear waters and spectacular backdrop. More peaceful and less developed than its glamorous neighbour Garda, Lake Levico is a popular destination for hiking and cycling. From gentle, shaded walks around the lake, scaling nearby mountains to cycle trails running through lush forests, Levico has lots offer. For easy exploration of the valley on E-bikes or conventional bikes The Valsugana cycle path sweeps through Levico and stretches 80km towards Bassano del Grappa.

AUSTRIA

s Britain’s long-standing favourite ‘Lakes & Mountains’ destination, Austria continues to charm with its combination of fairytale features and local traditions. Pretty Alpine villages, meadows, and traditional culture and folklore take you back to quieter, unhurried times. Hiking trails for all levels are well marked and accessible by lifts, and wonderful mountain huts provide regular refreshment. The lakes offer spectacular scenery and relaxing boat trips, and the cities are full of imperial architecture and medieval history. Austria has something for everyone which is why so many guests return every year to this much-loved country. Whichever resort you choose, you will be welcomed with a friendly ‘Grüss Gott!’.

Our Top 10 Things To Do

The contrasts are what we love most about Austria. One day you could be exploring the narrow cobblestone alleys of Vienna and the next hiking and mountain biking through profoundly carved valleys to reach isolated alpine huts. Here are our top 10 suggestions:

Walks & Hikes

Gardens

The Austrian Alps offer a unique landscape to explore, from craggy peaks in meandering valleys to rolling green hills blanketed in alpine flora. Trails are well signposted and easy to navigate and range from low level walks to high alpine hikes.

Austria’s alpine flora is a major draw for our guests and similarly its gardens offer spectacular displays of flowers and open spaces. The Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg is one of the most beautiful baroque gardens in Europe whilst the Belvedere Palace gardens in Vienna are vast and impressive.

Cycling & E-bikes

Cities

Travelling on two wheels in Austria means you get to explore a vast area of stunning landscapes. Whether mountain biking, E-biking or sightseeing by bike, the vast network of trails are well signposted and offer stop-off opportunities along the way.

The cultural footsteps of the Habsburg empire can be felt everywhere in Austria – most notably in the imperial city of Vienna. Walk the Ringstrasse to see many of the main sights. Salzburg, known as ‘The Rome of the North’ is an absolute must-see. A city full of history, culture and ‘The Sound of Music’.

Excursions Austria offers so many cultural contours, discovering the historical aspects of the country often involve meandering through rural scenery and encountering local specialties. It’s easy for one experience of a place to be offset against another and many of our adventures pass borders with other countries.

124

122-125_L&M_M19_Austria_Intro.indd 124

Family Holidays Active holidays in the mountains and beside the lakes make for the best summer adventure for the whole family. Many hotels we feature are family-friendly with a wealth of facilities to keep your little ones entertained, including free child supervision and kids’ clubs offered in-house.

Festivals & Events

Twin Centre Combinations

Just as Austria’s landscape is diverse, the customs and traditions are similarly contrasting between villages and cities. Wherever you choose to visit, you can be sure to encounter musical events or cultural festivals that showcase the customs of times gone past.

Travel in Austria passes so many diverse landscapes that it is clear each place is distinctive and characterfull. Our twin centre combinations allow for many destinations to be combined with each other so you can experience two places within one holiday.

Steamboats & Railways

Food & Drink

During the 19th century, a vast network of railway lines was built across the Austrian Empire including funiculars, steam trains and cog-railways, whilst the Salzkammergut lakes feature paddlesteamers. Many offer a unique experience to witness the lakes, countryside and mountain scenery.

You can taste a country’s history through their food, it’s their customs from years gone by. Mountain alms are ideal for sampling traditional food that farmers have eaten to keep them strong through the summer months. Cakes have a long legacy here, each with its own unique taste and identity.

Popular Resort Combinations

The stunning panoramas of the Austrian Alps and the turquoise waters of the Lakes both offer breathtaking scenery and are two of Austria’s biggest draws. Combining one ‘Lakes’ resort with one ‘Mountain’ resort to make the most of your time away is a popular choice and also offers a wider variety of excursions. Why not combine two pretty Alpine villages with contrasting walking terrain, or combine a lakes & mountains resort with a few days of sightseeing in Salzburg or Vienna? Or you could choose to combine your stay in Austria with the lakes and mountains resorts of Slovenia, and La Villa in Italy. Adding on Kranjska Gora, Lake Bohinj or Lake Bled makes for a superb blend of scenery and culture. These are our suggestions for our most popular twin and multi centre combinations which best complement each other.

Walk With Us

Inghams Guided Walks A guided walk programme is organised by your Inghams Rep and payable locally. The following programme is shown as a guide only and is subject to change. The Lakes of Mittenwald 12km / Easy After a short walk through the typically beautiful Bavarian town of Mittenwald, this walk starts to climb up towards the Sankt Anton Gasthaus through the woods that give Mittenwald its name. The trail continues up to the top of the Kranzberg, and leading through the forest we walk to the first of the two lakes included in the walk, the Ferchensee. After looping round the edge of the lake the walk turns back towards Mittenwald via the Lautersee, our second lake. As the path ducks into trees again we follow the Lainbach river down past a waterfall and into the oldest part of Mittenwald bringing us to the end of the walk. Scharnitz and the Karwendel Valleys 11km / Easy After arriving in the town of Scharnitz on the German border, the initial route takes you alongside the river Isar, with a photo stop at a breathtaking gorge. From there, you ascend to the Gleirschhohe and get some amazing views. Then head back down the valley, back to Scharnitz and jump on the bus back to Seefeld. Exploring the Seefeld Plateau 14km / Moderate Starting in Seefeld you head out to the small town of Reith, then after make your way around the Gschwandtkopf mountain to Mösern, where you can enjoy wonderful views down the Inn Valley. Relax and stop for lunch by the Möserer See bathing lake. Follow a gentle path, and make your way back down into Seefeld.

Festivals & Events Seefeld is a bustling village with a lively entertainment programme including: • Regular open-air concerts in the bandstand • Regular Tyrolean evening - traditional Austrian fun • Seefeld strudel festival (Jul) - live music, dancing & strudel! • Annual Dorf fest (Jul) - traditional music, stalls & food • White Night fashion show (mid Aug) • Traditional Tyrolean handicrafts festival (mid Sep)

Austria

One of Austria’s best loved small resorts

In this idyllic, peaceful farming village, life goes on much as it has for centuries. Westendorf is an incredibly pretty area and offers extensive walking. Numerous rambles lead to all parts of the wider valley, over to Kirchberg and Kitzbühel, as well as into the Bergwelt. A choice of pathways is accessed via the gondola lift which ascends to 1,830m. From the top of the Alpenrose mountain, you can admire the views, watch the paragliders take off and relax with a drink at the mountain restaurant. It is a lively village in the summer months with sunny cafés and weekly brass band concerts.

A historic all-time favourite in a delightful lakeside setting

One of Austria’s most enchanting lake resorts, St. Wolfgang enjoys an especially picturesque setting on the shores of Lake Wolfgang. It is a place of great character, where pretty painted houses and shops line the narrow cobbled streets, and most evenings the village comes alive with open-air classical, operetta and brass band concerts. Lake activities are plentiful, including boat trips on the original ‘Franz Josef’ paddle steamer. The historic Schafberg cog railway provides a fantastic ride up to the top of the area’s highest mountain (1,768m), from where you have a magnificent bird’s eye view of the lake and surrounding Salzkammergut region. St. Wolfgang is also an ideal base for excursions to nearby Salzburg, and the UNESCO village of Hallstatt.

Alpine spa resort on the sunny side of the Alps

A mountain wellness resort in the heart of Carinthia, Bad Kleinkirchheim enjoys a mild climate. The resort is well known for its healing springs and the Alpine valerian plant which is used for many of the available spa treatments. Close to the Italian and Slovenian border and surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Nockberge Mountains, it is a great region for hiking, swimming and cycling. We also recommend a hike on the famous Alpe-Adria-Trail, which connects three countries and two regions Carinthia in Austria, Slovenia and Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy.

Whilst France is host to a similar population to the UK, it boasts a land approximately twice the size. In central France many British summer visitors head for the Loire or the Dordogne regions but if you travel further south, our favourite destination is the breathtaking Alpine region, home to the highest mountain in our summer programme, Mont Blanc, which towers above Chamonix. The cuisine and wine are, of course, one of the most recognised and enjoyed aspects of French culture and our selection of hotels will certainly not disappoint. If you enjoy an active holiday, our resorts offer a huge array of activities perfect for all ages.

Festivals & Events

Multi-Centre Holidays

Our French resorts are known for their exciting walking trails, downhill biking and relaxing lake sides but they are also host to a number of exciting festivals and events.

Choosing just one resort for your stay in France can be quite the challenge as they are all different! Many of our guests combine their stay with additional days in another French resort, accessed by direct transfer. Crossing the border to neighbouring Switzerland is also easy, with transfers by rail from Geneva airport. From Chamonix our Mont Blanc Express Twin Centre goes from the railway station directly on this spectacular journey over high valley bridges and through tunnels to Switzerland. You are taken by taxi from your hotel to Chamonix railway station and from Martigny (where the Mont Blanc Express train finishes) catch a train to your onward Swiss destination.

Chamonix Ultra-Trail Mont Blanc (late Aug) Watch the worlds elite trail-runners race a distance of 170km across France, Italy and Switzerland. Cosmo Jazz Festival (late Jul) A free music festival including an imaginative mix of live music located both on the mountain and in the town of Chamonix.

Picturesque southern Germany is a top tourist destination where tradition and culture remain strong. Located on the shores of one of the largest lakes in Europe, the town of Constance and UNESCO village of Reichenau on Lake Constance are popular for their mild climate, quaint, typically German old towns and beautiful gardens. Similarly, in the farthest corner of south-east Germany the Chiemgau Alps and Berchtesgadener Land are regions of spectacular natural beauty including majestic mountains and crystal clear lakes, and also hosts many popular sites such as the Eagle’s Nest, historic salt mines as well as the enchanting Königssee and Chiemsee lakes.

Castles & Gardens of Lake Constance We know our guests like to get to know the 'essence' of a destination and no place could be better than Lake Constance. Surrounded by three countries the cultures combine to make this a very unique ambience. The Old Town of Constance stayed intact during Second World War due to it's proximity to the Swiss boarder - lights in homes were kept on fooling the Germans to think it's was neutral Switzerland. Monasteries line the banks of the lake and many feature vineyards from times gone past - still thriving today. Our Escorted Tour (see page 26 for details) showcases the best of the lake with an option to stay in 3 or 5 star hotels.

Medieval gardens, ancient monasteries, UNESCO pile dwellings, and Napoleon III previous home name but a few of the gems that don the shores of Lake Constance. Fringed by three countries, Lake Constance in our opinion is central Europe’s best kept secret. Ideal for cultured travellers who enjoy sightseeing, a warm climate, and relaxation by the lakeside, very few areas compare in variety and scope of attractions and a week’s package holiday simply skims the surface of all you can do here. The whole area is opened up with the use of the Regional Pass (see box below) including use of the efficient passenger ships and local buses.

1,620-3,900m Zermatt has over 400km of well maintained paths. Here are some of our favourites: Easy Furi Circular Trip, 2-2½ hrs This Circular Trail goes to the 100m suspension bridge (not the longest suspension bridge in the world!) - then onward to the glacier garden and back to Furi. From the suspension bridge there is a breathtaking view down into the Gorner Gorge. The suspension bridge permits easy access into the Glacier Gardens. A great walk for your first day in Zermatt! Moderate The Matterhorn Trail, approx. 3-4 hrs This is a lovely walk which starts up at Schwarzsee and goes through meadows down to Staffelalp (sheep rearing farming hamlet) and then through woods down to the Grand Dixence Dam which is a stunning sight in itself. You can then, if tired, choose to catch the gondola down from Furi (this is the shorter option) back to Zermatt or continue across the dam down to Zmutt. Challenging Hornli Hut and Beyond, approx. 4-5 hrs This walk starts from Schwarzsee (the famous Black lake) where all the mountaineers start their ascent of the Matterhorn! You walk uphill covering an altitude difference of approx. 500m from Schwarzsee via Hirli to the Hornli Hut. This hut is where mountaineers stayed before setting off very early the next morning to start their climb up the Matterhorn. The Hornli Hut was renovated and extended 2 years ago to celebrate its 150th anniversary. This is the closest point you will get to the Matterhorn and the views are amazing. For the more adventurous you can can now walk even further until you arrive at a sheer rock face approx. 1km further up from the Hornli Hut.

SWITZERLAND WENGEN

Popular Walks 1,280-2,320m Wengen sits on a natural terrace above the Lauterbrunnen valley. There are many walks starting from the village, offering stunning views of the surrounding snow peaked mountains and the valley, known as the ‘Valley of 72 waterfalls’. The Männlichen cable-car and the Wengernalp mountain railway make the walking opportunities easily accessible. Easy A popular walk is from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg with views from the long mountain ridge passing through a wide, well-developed hiking trail with a gentle descent taking approx. 1.5 hrs to complete. Moderate Follow the route of the Lauberhorn World Cup ski race, which is approx. 4.5km long. You can hike from the Hanegg-Bridge uphill to the Lauberhorn or back down from the start point at the Hundcshopf. Slightly Challenging For more experienced walkers, try the head of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, where good footpaths lead through forests and alpine meadows to the remote mountain hotels Tschingelhorn and Obersteinberg. This demanding full day’s walk is steep in places, but the view of the Breithorn with lunch at one of these hotels is more than worth the effort or head over to Mürren and hike to the summit of the Schilthorn. Local Walking Map Plan your walking in advance, purchase a map of the local area for just £6.95. See pages 12-13 for details. Must be ordered at time of booking.

Typical Lake View Superior room

Popular Walks Surrounding this vast and beautiful lake region are some of the most famous and incredible mountains in all of Switzerland. These can range from simple one hour flat round trips, all the way up to 6 hour top to bottom hikes. Easy There is a path surrounding the whole of Lake Lucerne and some of the best routes are close to home. From the centre of Lucerne you can walk alongside the lake to the Meggenhorn castle (approx 4 miles). While for those in Weggis, the walk beside towards the lake to Vitznau is another wonderful trip (approx 3½ miles) Moderate The Rigi mountain is situated in between Weggis and Vitznau and has the oldest cog railway in the world to take you to the top. A 'must see' in the region and the walk from the top (Rigi Kulm) back down to the mid station (Rigi Kaltbad) is another wonderful trip and gives views of all the region (approx 3½ miles). The Klewenalp mountain in Beckenried is the hidden gem in the area. Known as 'walkers paradise', it has a fantastic range of mountains that offers miles upon miles of walking. One very popular route is to walk from the top across to the mountain village of Stockhutte. From here you can take a second cable car down to the lake side town of Emmetten and then you can get on the bus back to Beckenried. (Approx 3 miles). Challenging The most challenging walks in the area are the top to bottom routes at Pilatus and the Stanserhorn. At the peak of Pilatus you can walk back down to the Alpnachstad boat station. This will take 5 to 6 hours with a wide range of terrain on your descent. Walking boots are advised. All the above walks and mountains are covered by the Tell Pass.

Hotel’s attractive restaurant

Popular Walks 1,200-1,920m There are over 550kms of walking paths to explore the scenery in and around Kandersteg, parts of which belongs to the UNESCO World heritage Swiss Alps. Lake Oschienen certainly lives up to this recognition with its shimmering mountain lake. Easy Stroll through the Gasterntal, starting ascent through the Klus gorge alongside the River Kander, emerging at the entrance of the Gasterntal, a beautiful glacier valley, then heading through the surrounding meadows full of flowers and cowbells. Moderate The famous ‘Gemmipass’ trail is wonderful for views of the Valais Alps, and was the main trading route hundred of years ago between the cantons of Valais and Berne. Take the Sunnbuel cable-car from the village and then follow the path crossing the flower-filled Spittelmatte plains and skirting the shores of Lake Dauben. When you reach the Gemmi, you can see the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa peaks. Slightly Challenging A trip on the Oeschinen gondola to the stunning mountain lake is also a must, and is a good starting place for more adventurous walks, including the signposted route across the flood plain, through the forest and climb to the Frundenhutte, 1,000m above. Local Walking Map Plan your walking in advance, purchase a map of the local area for just £6.95. See pages 12-13 for details. Must be ordered at time of booking.

Welcome to

d n a pl a L n i Winter Breath taking scenery, all of mother nature’s creation, are often highlights of a Lakes and Mountains holiday but if you’re reading this brochure you may not realise that Inghams also has one of the largest ski holiday programmes in the UK. We would however, like to let you in on a little secret. Our most magical winter destination is Lapland, where the Northern Lights can dance across the sky and excursions into the wilderness prove that snow is not just for skiing! On these pages we hope you’ll find some interesting winter holiday ideas in Finnish LaplandTervetuloa (welcome!) as the Finnish say!

Magical Finnish Lapland From husky-sleds, snowmobiles and reindeer sleighs to unforgettable overnight stays and Northern Light experiences, there are so many ways to enjoy the crisp air, unspoilt scenery and hospitable local culture. We offer 7-night holidays from December through to March with non-stop flights from Bristol, Gatwick or Manchester and pre-Christmas short Santa Breaks - see below.

Northern Lights Adventure Weeks Based at the Muotka Wilderness Lodge, located in the mystical north near Saariselkä, our Northern Lights Adventure Weeks have daily activities included in our prices. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing plus snowmobile, husky & reindeer safaris in the day, followed by evening Aurora hunting excursions. Choose from 7 nights at the Lodge or split your week with a 4-night stay in Saariselkä before a 3-night stay at the lodge.

Santa Breaks for Families

Want to know more?

Lapland has another very special appeal of course, if you are travelling with children or grandchilden, with the chance to take them on a oncein-a-lifetime trip to the 'home' of Santa Claus. For a last minute dash our very popular 3- and 4-night Santa Breaks for this winter have limited stock available and sales are now open for Santa Breaks from 27 November to 18 December 2019. Reindeer, huskies and your very own meeting with Santa himself are all guaranteed to create lasting family memories.

If these Winter Lapland holidays appeal to you why not send for a copy of our dedicated brochure.

INGHAMS WINTER IN LAPLAND

Northern Lights

Snowmobile Safaris

Santa Breaks Husky Safaris

Cross-country Skiing

Reindeer Sleigh Rides

See the Northern Lights

If you ever wanted to try cross-country skiing, this is the best place to do it. All of our resorts have extensive trails, many of which are lit at night. The easy, well-marked trails and modern, light equipment make it physically no harder than walking. There are short-looped tracks or longer scenic journeys with signs along the way for wildlife and places of interest. Beginners can get expert instruction, there's no lift pass needed and you can fully immerse yourself in the wonderful scenery.

There are more 'poro' (Lappish for reindeer) in Lapland than there are people and lots of folklore about this creature, which has been herded by the Sàmi people for centuries. Try a leisurely sleigh ride through the forest before a break for a hot berry juice or a longer safari deeper into the wilderness to a traditional 'laavu' - a tepee-style tent. Your Sàmi hosts, dressed in colourful traditional clothes, will also serve you some Lapland favourites.

Finnish Lapland is a prime location to see the Northern Lights, which generally appear about 200 times a year. Many hotels organise wake-up calls if the lights appear and tell you the best spots to see them. In Ylläs, they even turn the streetlights off after 10pm to reduce light pollution. The ultimate experience is to stay in a thermal glass igloo, available in Levi or Saariselkä, where cosy, warm 360 degree viewing of the swirling lights is unforgettable if you are lucky with your timing!

Snowmobile Safaris

Husky Safaris

An exhilarating way to explore the Arctic scenery and cover a variety of terrain is by snowmobile. It doesn’t take long to learn and any adult with a valid driver’s licence can ride one, or they can be shared by two people. You will be kitted out in full thermal suits, boots and gloves, and the snowmobiles also have hand-warmers. Classic safaris are usually for two hours and cover up to 25km, but longer, tailor-made trips can also be arranged.

The experience of mushing a sleigh with Siberian or Alaskan huskies bounding through the snow simply has to be on your bucket list! There’s a brief training and introduction to your dogs, then you are off, following weaving trails through the snowladen forest, crossing frozen lakes and rivers, and absorbing the scenery while your dogs love every moment. There are both family-friendly short trips and longer routes to choose from, and anyone with reasonable fitness can do it without any kind of previous experience. Afterwards, you can meet the huskies and learn how the husky farm operates.

Winter Walks & Snow-shoeing All of our resorts have cleared winter walking paths. Set in the midst of open country, it is quick and easy to just walk out of resort and discover the beauty of Lapland's forests, fells, frozen lakes and rivers. Snowshoes are widely available to hire and easy to use and are one of the best ways to explore off the beaten track and the more remote areas, particularly if you are looking for wildlife or just the peace and stillness of the forest. Expertly guided snowshoe walks are also available in all resorts.

Stay in a Glass Igloo Glass igloos have been a feature in Lapland for some time now, combining a 360-degree outlook to the night skies with the warmth and comfort of a cosy igloo. For many years, guests have told us this was 'the highlight of their holiday' and even if by chance the Northern Lights don't show up, watching the evening light change colour and then going to sleep beneath the stars is still a magical experience. Available throughout our Winter season from December right through to March for guests staying in the resorts of Levi and Saariselkä, our prices also include a wonderful dinner at the igloo location to make it an extra special evening.

Overnight at the SnowHotel Built from scratch each Winter from 27,000 cubic metres of snow and river ice up to a metre thick, the Lainio SnowHotel is an impressive feat of engineering. Beautiful ice sculptures adorn the rooms, ice bar, restaurant and courtyards. Guests staying in Levi or Ylläs from mid-December to Easter can book an overnight stay here - high quality sleeping bags are provided. Guests are woken up with a hot berry juice before a buffet breakfast in the warm restaurant. It's a hard to beat and memorable stay in the Arctic.

Santa Breaks Santa Claus is never far away in Lapland, and in November and December we run a choice of 3- and 4-night Santa Breaks, always including a private meeting with Santa for each individual family, and with a multitude of optional snow activities to choose from. These breaks are ideal for extended three-generation families, as no child, parent or grandparent could fail to enjoy meeting Santa in his workshop and finding out just what his Elves really get up to! All guests staying in December on 7-night holidays also have a dinner with Santa included in their holiday. Finbo and friends look forward to meeting you!

This service is available to all guests flying to Zurich airport at an extra cost of £18 per item each way for the standard service. Swiss Railways have introduced an 'Express Service' with an administration fee of £24 per booking per sector in addition to the standard service charge. This service applies to selected destinations and delivers luggage quicker to resort (see online for more details). Fly rail baggage must be reserved at the time of booking. • NB - not available in 2019 for Weggis, Vitznau, Montreux and Saas Fee and all flights into Geneva airport. Outward journey • Check-in your luggage at your UK airport, with your green fly-rail baggage label attached. • Please note: Your luggage will arrive at your hotel from 24-48 hours after you arrive in Switzerland when booking the Standard Service, so it is vital that you carry an overnight bag with you with all essentials. If booking the 'Express Service' your luggage will normally arrive the morning after you arrive in Switzerland. • Luggage will arrive in resort at the railway station and will be collected and brought to your accommodation for you by either your Inghams Representative or hotel (system varies by resort). Homeward journey • Luggage normally needs to be sent from your Swiss resort back to the airport the day before your flight home. Your Inghams Representative will arrange this for you. • Please note: You are able to send your luggage as far as Zurich airport. For security reasons you have to collect it at the airport railway station and check-in for your flight including your luggage. Please note that the Fly-luggage service is not included in the basic holiday package and must be pre-booked.

Baggage Allowances & In-Flight Catering Details of your baggage allowance, any in-flight catering, check-in procedures etc. will be sent with your tickets (now usually e-tickets), approximately 3 weeks prior to departure. If you are travelling on a ‘low cost’ airline such as Easyjet we will automatically reserve the carriage of one piece of baggage for you.

Carriage of cycles and sports equipment You can take your own cycle or sports equipment on most of our flights. Please advise us at the time of booking and we will advise you of the booking procedures. Carriage must then be booked direct with the airline – cycle carriage costs from £70 return.

For France, Switzerland and Italy (Lake Maggiore) you will depart London between 07:00 and 09:00. Paris Metro tickets are included for the short hop on to your Paris terminal as shown below.

It is a condition of booking with us that you and your party take out suitable Travel Insurance from a reputable provider. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our House Insurance provider MPI Brokers, who we have worked with for many years.

Resort Transfers All Other Countries • Transfers are an important part of your holiday and we aim to make your journey to resort as smooth as possible. • You will usually be met at the airport by an Inghams Representative and transferred to your accommodation from the airport by coach. Occasionally this may include transport by minibus, taxi, train or boat. Guests travelling to different resorts may be on the same coach, and the transfer itinerary may include dropping off guests at resorts en route. • Approximate distances and transfer times from overseas airports to resorts (excl. time at the airport) are shown on each resort page. Journey times may vary due to traffic and weather conditions. Times given are only a guide. • It may be necessary to wait for guests arriving on other flights, but we try to keep waiting time to a minimum. • In a few Austrian/Italian resorts it may not be possible for the coach to reach the hotel due to the layout of the resort centre. We will try to arrange for the hotels to send a taxi/minibus to collect you and/or your luggage. • For transfers to Switzerland and Lake Constance see above.

Luggage registration within Switzerland between centres is not included but can usually be arranged locally for a small charge with an Inghams Representative, if required.

INGHAMS G E N E R A L I N F O R M AT I O N

Inghams Lakes & Mountains Main Edition General Information This section contains some additional information about our holiday provision, including what you can expect in our ‘managed by Inghams’ properties: the Hotel Montfort, the Hotel Al Pigher, and the Hotel La Sapinière. We suggest that you read this as, in conjunction with our Booking Conditions and brochure/website pages, this forms part of your holiday contract.

Accommodation Information

Balconies/Terraces: Where a supplement has been paid for a balcony or a terrace, neither a specific view nor aspect is guaranteed. Neither should it be assumed that a balcony will include seating or a panoramic view, whether seated or not. In some cases they may be ‘Juliette’ style balconies, with limited floor space. Views from balconies, windows and terraces may be restricted by trees/foliage or other factors beyond our control and no express or implied representation is made regarding there being a ‘view’ of any kind. The balcony or terrace may be private or shared. Bedrooms: The size, decor, soundproofing, style and furnishing of bedrooms can differ markedly, even within the same property. There is also considerable variation in floor space, head clearance, clothes storage facilities (sometimes very limited), types of bed and bedding. In certain locations, particularly in Austria and Switzerland, a twin is commonly accepted as referring to two separate mattresses and duvets contained in one large frame. Beds may be sofa beds or chair beds, particularly where part of the room is intended as either a sitting area or sleeping area. Check–in/check-out times: Your room will normally be available from 4pm onwards but please bear with the accommodation if it takes longer. Check-out times may be before 10am or before your departure from resort. Leisure facilities: Swimming pools, hot-tubs, spa-baths and saunas are operated and maintained by the management or owners in accordance with local regulations or guidelines. Leisure facilities may be subject to limited opening hours, and there may be restrictions on their use by children. Should any leisure facility become unavailable for any reason, we cannot guarantee being able to repair or replace it during your holiday, and do not offer compensation for inconvenience or curtailed use in such an event. Lifts: Please note that in some properties, lifts may not directly service all floors and access to and from these floors may be by stairway only. Not all properties have lifts. New-Build Projects & Refurbishments: A number of our featured properties are newly built or substantially converted or refurbished for us each season, and we take every possible care with the owners to ensure that each such property is completed on schedule. Clearly however, matters outside our direct control, such as local authorities or adverse weather at critical times for example, can occasionally cause delays, and/or there may be changes to the designer’s or architect’s plans upon which we have based our description. In the event that either eventuality happens, we will advise you as soon as any impact on your holiday is clear. For more information, please see clause 5 of our Booking Conditions. No further compensation shall be payable for changes caused by late delivery of new-build or refurbished properties, or changes to architects’ or designers’ plans, and Inghams’ liability in such cases shall be limited to the provision or conversion of the above three alternatives. Seating areas: may not typically consist of a full lounge or separate lounge area, but will normally include chair(s), a sofa or other forms of seating. Security: We cannot be held responsible for the damage to, loss or theft of personal belongings or equipment from any accommodation. TV: Where a TV is advertised, no guarantee is implied as to how many English-speaking channels will be available, if any, including Satellite TV. Views: Views may be restricted, and no express or implied representation is made regarding there being a ‘view’ of any kind from a window, balcony or the room itself. It should not be assumed the “view” can be visible from all parts of the room, window or balcony, whether seated or standing. Views may sometimes be restricted by trees or foliage etc. and other factors beyond our control. Wi-Fi/Internet Access: Where Wi-Fi or internet access is indicated in a property description, this belongs to the property and its availability is outside our control. In some more remote resorts signal strength may be limited throughout the whole resort and not just in our properties. No guarantee is given or implied that it will be operative during your holiday; you will not be advised in advance if this facility is removed, and no compensation or refund will be paid if it is not available for whatever reason. Charges may apply. We ask for your understanding and patience in remembering that the connections in the mountains are not as reliable or as strong as you may be used to in the UK. The connections will, in normal circumstances, be suitable for the checking of emails and basic web-browsing, but the downloading and streaming of films and other media may not be possible. Safe-keeping of your laptop computer/tablet/smartphone is your own responsibility, as is ensuring that it is properly insured for the circumstances above; no liability will be accepted for damage to or loss or theft of laptops from accommodation, including if your insurance company refuses to pay out for any reason. We also accept no liability for any loss of data or virus infection to your device whilst on holiday with us, however caused.

SPECIFIC TO ‘MANAGED BY INGHAMS’ PROPERTIES The Hotel Montfort (Lech), Hotel Al Pigher (La Villa) and Hotel La Sapinière (Chamonix).

Please note that hotels managed by Inghams employ carefully selected staff who receive comprehensive training from us, therefore they are not the same as ‘Hotels’ in the traditional sense. Accommodation will comply with any appropriate local standards of the country in which the property is situated which may differ from UK standards. Rooms and facilities can vary greatly, and a degree of tolerance is needed when it comes to alpine standards of plumbing, electrics, hot water supplies, Wi-Fi and space. When two figures are given for the capacity of a ‘managed by Inghams’ hotel, the lower one is the normal occupancy figure, based on regular beds including sofa-beds in some cases. The higher figure allows for increased occupancy, using put-u-up beds. Neither figure includes infants occupying cots. Put-u-ups and sofa-beds may cause inconvenience because of limited space. Because of the ability to add additional beds, the brochure/website figures are not guaranteed as absolute, and are subject to change. Please therefore confirm the capacity when you make your telephone reservation, and do ask for advice if bedroom space is important to you. Where bunk beds are present in accommodation, they may not be comparable to standard full-size single beds. If separate bookings are sharing the property, we are not able to disclose any details appertaining to other guests. What’s included in our ‘managed by Inghams’ hotels: • Breakfast: Continental buffet breakfast is provided 7 days a week. A packed breakfast for those on early departing excursions will be provided • Packed lunches (choose and make up your own to suit you) available 5 days at the Hotel La Sapinière and 7 days at the Hotel Montfort and Hotel Al Pigher. • Afternoon tea and coffee with cake on 5 days for Hotel La Sapinière and 7 days at Hotel Montfort and Hotel Al Pigher • 3 course buffet evening meal with tea/coffee 5 nights. (7 nights in the ‘managed by Inghams’ Hotel Montfort, Lech). Buffets will follow a set menu and typically include a choice of salad/soup to start, meat/fish for main course and dessert/cheese. Speciality coffees may be available at an additional charge. • Choice of complimentary quality wines during the evening meal service. • Bed linen, one bath towel, one hand towel per guest per week. • All overseas taxes. • Service of a resort representative who will visit or be contactable by phone during the week. • Hotels managed by Inghams are non-smoking.

266-267_L&M_M19_General_Info.indd 266

• FREE Wi-Fi in public areas. • The services of our friendly Inghams staff. • All have comfortable lounges and a bar. Bedrooms: The size, decor, soundproofing and furnishing of bedrooms can differ markedly, even within the same property. There is also considerable variation in floor space, head clearance, clothes storage facilities (sometimes very limited), types of bed and bedding. In some instances, bedrooms lead from communal rooms. Some rooms are listed as ‘under eaves’, which can at times limit head clearance by way of low beams and/or the slant of the roof. We make every effort to describe bedrooms as accurately as possible and to this end we have introduced the term SUITE (where there are distinctly separate sleeping areas, e.g. a bedroom and separate living room with sofa-bed) and ROOM (where all beds are in one area). We recommend that you stress special room requirements at the time of booking. Some bedrooms and suites have kitchenettes reflecting their occasional use for self-catering. They are not equipped for use and for safety reasons we disconnect most of the electrical and gas equipment. Beds may be sofa beds or chair beds, particularly in family accommodation where part of the room is intended as either a sleeping area or a sitting area. Catering for Adults: Breakfast is run on a self-service basis normally between 8 and 9am and typically comprises: fruit juices, cereals, bread, cold meats, cheeses and preserves. There is of course unlimited tea and coffee. The milk supplied is likely to be UHT. For afternoon tea our staff provide a cake (except on their day off) and guests should help themselves to tea and coffee. Dinner is served around 7pm and includes complimentary wine and tea/coffee. On the first evening, due to different arrival times of guests, dinner will be served at the convenience of the majority. We do not permit non guests to dine in hotels managed by Inghams, except in exceptional circumstances and only if agreed in writing at time of booking. Please note that dinner is strictly an adults and teenagers only occasion and children 11 years old and under on the holiday start date are not allowed at the dinner table, but instead are served Children’s High Tea, as below. Catering for Children: Breakfast and afternoon tea options as offered for adults above. Children’s High Tea will be served at approximately 5.30pm for all children and is included in the brochure price paid. It is optional, however, that parents may elect to have their children join them at adult dinner in our Inghams-run hotels on the basis that: i) a charge of £39 per child per week supplement is paid to upgrade to a full adult menu; or ii) £55 per child for holidays of a 10 or 11 night duration. Upon paying the relevant supplement, children will therefore be served an adult menu all week. Please note, there is not an option to switch between children’s high tea and adult menu throughout the week. We cannot accept liability if we are not informed of the child’s age. Special diets, allergies & intolerances: If you have a serious allergy which requires a special diet to be prepared separately from other guests’ food, your booking cannot be confirmed until we have been able to confirm we can supply such a diet, even if you receive a booking confirmation invoice in the interim (see extreme food allergies below). Vegetarian meals: A vegetarian option is always available. Other special diets (e.g. vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, low fat/cholesterol, specific food allergies, etc.) can normally be provided at ‘hotels managed by Inghams’, but must be discussed with our Reservations team before booking and may incur a supplement, per week to contribute towards the significant additional costs of ingredients and separate deliveries. All such dietary requests and/or food allergies must be confirmed to us in writing by email or registered post at least 14 days prior to departure. For any guests who advise us within 14 days, but no less than 4 days of arrival of a special dietary requirement, an increased supplement will be payable in resort to cover additional catering costs. We unfortunately are unable to accept special dietary requests within 4 days prior to departure and will be unable to cater for your needs. We have a well-developed Food Allergy Policy in place, with a view to avoiding any allergic reaction incidents and shall exercise reasonable care to avoid specified food and drink ingredients if special diets are agreed at the time of booking and confirmed in writing as above. However, in choosing to travel with us, you accept the following facts:- that staff involved in catering, including for children’s meals, are generally not qualified catering professionals; that no food allergy system can ever provide a 100% guarantee against any contact with a specified foodstuff; that items such as eggs, dairy products and nuts are constantly present in kitchens and dining areas, so cross contamination cannot be ruled out; that our staff cannot police what snacks third parties may bring into contact with the allergic person; that staff may not be aware of precise food contents (where they do not speak the language in which the ingredients are labelled, for example). We therefore cannot and do not guarantee the avoidance of specified ingredients and cannot accept liability in the event of any dissatisfaction with special dietary arrangements, including the occurrence of an allergic reaction. Extreme food allergies: Where a food allergy is so severe that the slightest exposure to the substance in question could cause a life threatening anaphylactic reaction (for example where a reaction may be triggered other than by actually eating the foodstuff such as by smell alone, or by minute trace elements on the hands of a staff member or another person), you must advise us in writing of the severe nature of the allergy at the time of booking. We then reserve the right to advise you that, in our considered view, the controls we are able to implement are insufficient to guarantee the safety of the person/s concerned, in which case should you choose to proceed with the booking, you do so entirely at your own risk, and would be asked to confirm this in writing in order to confirm the booking. If you fail to advise us of a known extreme allergy at the point of booking, you will be in breach of contract and we will therefore have no liability to you at all in the event of any incident. Cleaning and hygiene: Your bedroom will normally be clean and tidy for your arrival (subject to guests’ departure/arrival times) and en suite bathrooms will be cleaned once, mid-week, during your stay. Staff will normally empty your accessible waste bins each day and clean all communal rooms (except on their day off). We are particularly conscious of the need for catering hygiene and during their pre-season training course, all our catering staff will have been trained to the City & Guilds Level 2 in Food Safety. Our managers also carry out spot checks and full hygiene inspections regularly. If you are unhappy with any aspect of hygiene or cleaning, please raise the matter immediately in resort so that appropriate action can be taken. Our Reservations team can give details of laundry facilities in resort as hotels do not have facilities for guests to use. Rooms must be vacated by 10am on departure day, so they can be made ready for arriving guests. Our properties are subject to local health, hygiene and fire safety regulations and are regularly inspected. In addition, all hotels comply with applicable local fire standards. Damage deposit: We reserve the right to apply a damage deposit of up to £1,000 per booking either in the UK prior to departure or on arrival in resort. This is payable either by debit or credit card, or by bank transfer. We appreciate that normal usage causes wear upon furniture, fixtures and fittings and this is always taken in to consideration, but actual damage caused by guests, either by accident or negligence, must be paid for by the person who caused it, or by the party leader of the group, or will be retained from the damage deposit (where taken). En Suite Facilities: These will always include a bath or mini-bath or shower, but do not necessarily include toilets - please see the individual property’s ‘Accommodation Summary’ for details of each room’s precise facilities. Bathrooms may not always have full size baths and showers may not always have a shower tray or curtain. Exclusive Use: You can book our Inghams-run hotels for exclusive use for your group or family. This means that no other guests will be in residence, however Inghams’ staff and/ or members of the property owner’s staff/family may occupy parts of the building or use them as a resort office, store room or similar. Please ask for written details if this matter is important to you. If you cannot fill all the advertised minimum-occupancy beds, a supplement is payable that replaces the total room under occupancy supplements.

Leisure facilities: We do not normally provide separate towels for leisure facilities, so we suggest you bring your own towels for use of such leisure facilities. Please note that there are no Lifeguards on duty and we cannot guarantee staff will be available in or around the pool or hot-tub area at all times. Please note that you use all such leisure facilities at your own risk, and are responsible in particular for your children’s safety in leisure facilities at all times. Our Diamond ratings: As hotels managed by Inghams are not awarded an official rating, we have developed our own “Diamond” rating system, which cannot be compared with any official rating categorisation and is there to give an indication of the standard and style of our properties in comparison to one another. Our ratings are based on senior management inspections and previous guests’ feedback where available, and naturally a certain amount of personal opinion is involved. We emphasise that these are not official ratings and cannot be compared in any way with any official or other independent system of accommodation ratings. Catering arrangements and standards are the same for all Hotels managed by Inghams, irrespective of their diamond rating. Pets: Notwithstanding changes to UK legislation, we do not permit pets in our properties. Porterage: is not included in the cost of the holiday. If you allow our staff or coach drivers to assist with the transfer of your luggage from or to the main coach and/or feeder vehicles, you do so at your own risk as we do not accept responsibility for your luggage at any time and you remain responsible at all times for ensuring your luggage is on the appropriate vehicle. Season start-up: We work hard to train all our staff pre-season to the standard required to deliver our brochured services, but our holiday prices are kept low for the first week of the season, reflecting the need for a degree of tolerance from our guests for the fact that staff are settling in to new roles. Security: Our ‘managed by Inghams’ hotels do not have safes for securing guests’ valuables and it is unusual for them to be locked during the day or overnight, or for there to be locks on bedroom doors, though there will normally be a night porter on duty. In many cases we offer keys, key cards or combination locks, for which a deposit may be payable, but this cannot be guaranteed. Although we do not specify these points in each hotel description, if it is of concern please ask our Reservations team for details. We cannot accept liability for the damage to, loss or theft of personal belongings or equipment from any accommodation. Slipper Zones: We ask guests not to wear outdoor shoes or boots inside our hotels for reasons of hygiene and to protect the furnishings and fittings, so please ensure that you take slippers or indoor shoes with you. Smoking: We operate a strict no-smoking policy in all our ‘managed by Inghams’ hotels, which includes the use of E-Cigarettes. A guest who breaches this policy will be liable to pay a fine of €100/CHF150 to pay for additional deep-cleaning required, and will be liable for all other consequential damages sought against Hotelplan Ltd by its other guests and/or the property owners. Under-occupancy: As mentioned above, we ask you to contribute towards our loss if you reserve rooms for your exclusive use, but do not fill all the beds. Unless otherwise indicated, the supplement per empty bed payable is one half of the basic adult air-inclusive price per empty bed space. If a group wishes to have exclusive use, we reserve the right to limit the number of beds left unoccupied. Please check with our Reservations team if you wish to pay empty bed supplements for more than 20% of the beds in a chalet. During peak periods this percentage will also generally be increased.

SPECIFIC TO HOTELS, PENSIONS AND SELF-CATERING UNITS

At each of the hotel and apartment properties featured in the brochure and on our website we have an allocation of rooms/apartments at contract rates and conditions. When this allocation is full, it may be possible for us to apply for additional rooms, if we are asked to do so, but these may not always be offered to us at ‘contract’ rates and therefore a supplement may apply. This may also occur if we are asked to obtain rooms of a type/standard not included in our normal allocation. Some partner hotels do offer a choice of smoking and non-smoking rooms. Requests for a preferred type should be made at time of booking but cannot be guaranteed. Some of the properties featured may also be pet-friendly. Whilst we do not offer pet-friendly holidays, private guests or guests booked with other tour operators may have the right to bring their pets to the hotel. If you have a pet allergy, you should discuss this with whoever you book with at the time. Air-conditioning: even though the property may feature air-conditioning in the rooms, certain countries have strict policies on when the air-conditioning is operational during the season and this is governed by local law. Annexes: When annexes are used, these may be directly owned and controlled by the accommodation provider or contracted in private homes. They may either be joined to the main building or be within walking distance of the accommodation. Cleaning: In apartments and self-catering apartments, it is generally accepted that a clean at the beginning of the week will occur. Your bedroom will be clean and tidy for your arrival. You will also be required to leave your apartment in a tidy state at the end of your stay and some apartments may provide an end of stay checklist to adhere to. It may also be the case that hotel rooms and all other accommodation are not cleaned on a daily basis. Dimensions: Dimensions of rooms in hotels or apartments when quoted are approximate, and normally include the bathroom and the balcony area. Extra Beds: Where an extra bed is added, this may limit the space available and may be smaller than conventional sized single beds. Rooms with extra beds are still bookable for two person occupancy, although, in this case, the hotelier may allocate a standard-sized twin bedded room without extra beds. Single rooms do not always match up either in size or facilities to twin bedded rooms, even when a supplement is paid. If you require a cot, we advise you book a room that can take an extra bed, otherwise the room may feel cramped. Hotel charges for cots must be paid directly to the hotel. Free upgrade offers: Where a hotel offers ‘free’ upgrades on their rooms, these are subject to availability and may only be applicable to holidays taken in certain months of the season. The hotel may amend or withdraw this offer at any time during the season, without notice. Hotel leisure facilities: Some hotels, especially in Italy require you to wear a “bathing” cap whilst using the pool facilities. Some hotels adopt a ‘no swimwear’ rule in respect of their sauna areas. Please note, each hotel has its own policy on this rule, which is subject to change without notice. In hotels with spas or wellness centres, massages/beauty treatments will normally be provided by the hotel’s own wellness area staff, but in some cases will be available to book through the hotel with a visiting provider of these services. Services provided by the accommodation: Where the accommodation provider offers a service such as childcare or kindergarten facilities, these services are offered and available for use by guests entirely at their own risk. There is no guarantee that the services offered will be equivalent to a UK standard and they may differ from the description of the facility published at the time. Meal Arrangements: If you book half board, the first meal you will receive will usually be dinner on the day of your arrival in the resort and the last meal will be breakfast on the morning of your departure from the resort. No drinks are included on a half board option (unless stipulated). Clients arriving late at a hotel will normally receive a cold meal. At peak times, some hotels may choose to seat clients together on larger tables. “All Inclusive” hotels include breakfast, a light lunch, evening meals and unlimited drinks in the basic holiday price (although set times and choices may apply at some hotels). Where packed lunches are provided as part of your accommodation stay, they will not be provided on the day of departure. Please note, some hotels can charge for tap water, or may only offer bottled water at an applicable charge. Mezzanine levels: Where mezzanine levels are described, they may be accessible by steep stairs and will typically be under the eaves in most units or hotels. Star Ratings/Country Standards: Official star ratings, where available, are shown at the foot of the price panel and on the property description page on our website. They are primarily intended to give a guide to the range of facilities and services available in each property. As you would expect, 2 and 3 star properties generally have a more limited

Our package holidays and other types of holiday arrangements may also be featured on websites owned and operated by travel agents and other organisations. We have absolutely no control over the content or maintenance of such sites and therefore we cannot accept any liability for information contained on them. Where distance is quoted in time taken to walk, we have used as a guideline that 100m takes an adult one minute to walk in standard footwear under normal conditions. Clearly, timings will vary according to footwear, age, personal fitness and surface conditions. The pictures shown in the brochure and on the website are included for their style and general relevance and are shown for illustration purposes and unless stated are not necessarily taken at the resort described. Photographs of rooms are intended to give an indication of the typical appearance, but rooms (including in ‘managed by Inghams’ properties) will inevitably vary in size, furnishing and decorative style, particularly where there has been partial refurbishment. Where free minibus services are advertised, these may be subject to capacity restrictions, and/or be on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and could only run at set times, details of which are available in resort. We cannot be held responsible if you miss any, all or part of your other arrangements as a result of the late running or unavailability of these services. Hotelplan Ltd cannot accept responsibility for any losses incurred as a result of industrial action in resort, e.g. strike action by lift operators, bus drivers, etc.

Adding Extras

We’re delighted to be able to offer a whole host of extras to help you get the most out of your holiday with us, details of which can be found on our website and in our brochure. It’s advisable that you book any extras at the time of booking, as we cannot guarantee that they can be added later and prices can change at any time. If you add these extras after confirming your booking, you will be charged the price applicable at the time those extras are booked, not at the time the holiday itself was booked. We try wherever possible to obtain special offers and discounts from our chosen suppliers to pass on to our guests, though these are subject to availability and can be withdrawn at any time. Please ask our Reservations team about any applicable offers when confirming your booking.

Carriage of Bicycles and Sporting Equipment Please enquire at time of booking as charges will usually apply.

Group Discounts and Child Discounts

We’re pleased to offer some great discounts to groups travelling together and to those travelling with children. Group discounts To qualify as a group, all guests must book at the same time, for the same departure date, resort and duration, and all communication and payment must be organised through one named individual as the group leader. Group members may however travel by different routes or methods, and/or occupy different price room/apartment types, in which case the free places are allocated to the cheapest method and room-type used. • The group size is calculated on the number of passengers paying the full adult brochure price. Any two children receiving a child discount of any level (except free places) or family choice reduction count together as one full-paying person. • Only one free child place is allowed per group. • FREE places and discounts are based on the adult basic price shown in the price panel, not including any applicable room, meal or flight supplements, or any other ancillary costs. • Group FREE places cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts advertised, and any online booking discount except cash-back and hotel early booking offers. • Later additions can be made to your group, subject to availability, but the original group discount will not be increased as a result of such additions. If your group size reduces after booking, the group discount will be reduced accordingly, and may be lost completely if all group conditions are no longer complied with, and re-costing may apply if room occupancy levels change. • We have specific allocations of rooms at special Inghams rates in most hotels, and if extra rooms are required to accommodate your group, these may not be available at the same preferential rate, in which case ‘extra to allocation’ supplements may apply. If we have obtained such extra rooms to accommodate your group, we reserve the right to re-cost the holiday if your group later reduces in size. • A £150 per person deposit is required from all group members, including those travelling on a FREE or reduced price place. The deposits taken against the FREE places will then be credited to the group’s final balance payment. • The names of all group members are required at the time of booking for all scheduled flights, and any subsequent change will incur an amendment fee, or with some scheduled airlines, cancellation and re-booking. For all charter flights, names are required within 14 days of booking, but we allow free name changes up to 28 days prior to departure, after which an administration fee for any further changes will apply. For scheduled services, charges will apply for any name change. • Only one invoice will normally be issued per group, to the group leader, and an administration charge is payable for any group member/s requiring a separate invoice. • The group leader is responsible for ensuring that every member of his/her group has appropriate travel insurance. • Full payment must be made at least 10 weeks prior to departure by cheque, debit card or credit card. • We reserve the right to restrict the total number of FREE places allowed across multiple groups in the same property on the same date at any time. • All group bookings are ‘subject to availability’ which includes respecting the right of hoteliers to decline single-sex groups or groups above a certain size. Child discounts https://www.inghams.co.uk/lakes-mountains-holidays/holiday-types/family-summerholidays Except where stated, child FREE and discounted places are based on the child/children sharing the room with at least two full-paying guests. A maximum of two discounted child places (including a FREE place if applicable) is permitted per room/suite/cabin/ apartment. • FREE places are limited to one per booking. FREE places and child discount percentages are calculated off the basic adult brochure price shown in the relevant price panel, not including room or flight supplements, insurance or any other applicable costs. • Children on self-drive or accommodation-only holidays receive the same percentage

In Resort

Parents are reminded that children must remain under their control at all times. Age limits or qualifications may apply to several activities and it may be that a basic or reasonable level of fitness is required to partake in a certain activity or a requirement of swimming to take part in water-based activities. On occasion, passport evidence may also be required. Our Reservations team has full details and you should enquire before booking if any limitations to activities are of paramount importance to you. No guarantee is given as to the specific length or time duration of each activity and some activities will require excess payments to be made for insurance purposes to partake in that activity. Each specific supplier will provide more details in resort. Minimum numbers and/or suitable weather conditions are required for certain activities to take place. If the required numbers are not reached, or the weather prevents the activity taking place at all during your holiday, or the activity is withdrawn by the provider for any reason, any refunds must be negotiated directly with the provider and cannot be guaranteed by us as we act as an agent and are not responsible for the provision of the service or activity normally. Some excursions are subject to minimum numbers. It may also be the case that excursions do not start directly from the resort you are booked to stay in, and you may incur additional charges in travelling to the excursion departure point. Excursions can also be shared between resorts and the point of origin may not be from your resort. No refunds or compensation will be paid by the service providers if you simply change your mind about taking part in an activity after booking it, or miss the transport provided, or fail to arrive at the designated meeting point on time, or, in your or the provider’s judgment, cannot physically cope with the activity. (If the latter is due to a physical injury, you should claim under your travel insurance policy.) Any arrangements made by you independently of our company are entirely at your own risk and you should make sure you are appropriately insured.

In-Resort Purchases

Payments in resort for excursions, optional activities, etc. booked in resort must be made at the point of booking in local currency cash, or by debit card or credit card. Card payments will be taken in sterling converted from the local currency price at the applicable exchange rate at that time. Exchange rate fluctuations may mean that the sterling price paid may not be exactly the same as the cost in local currency in your resort. Where paying with a Euro or Swiss Franc currency card, the local currency price will be debited from your account. Card payments cannot be processed after the Friday of your holiday for Saturday departures, and Tuesday for Wednesday departures, so cash payments are required for later settlement. We reserve the right to involve local police and/or deny return travel if due payments are withheld for any reason.

Lost Property

A report of any lost item must be made immediately to your Resort Representative, if the loss is noticed whilst you are on holiday. If the item is not found and returned to you prior to your departure, you must report the loss to our Post-Departure Guest Services Team as soon as possible upon your return. You can do this by email to guest.services@ inghams.co.uk or by telephone on 01483 791144. Please do give us a full description of the item lost, including any branding/distinguishing features. If found, the return of your property will carry a fee to cover the costs of returning it to you, normally £25 for small items and £60 for larger items such as bulky clothing/items and equipment. Additional charges may apply for the return of lost property from non-EU countries. No item will be returned unless this fee is paid in advance and arrangements for its return have been made via the UK office. We cannot guarantee the return of any item of lost property and our staff’s involvement in tracing it shall not constitute acceptance of any liability for the item at any stage of the process. We regret that any items of lost property found and unclaimed 28 days after the holiday end date cannot be kept and will be disposed of.

Special Requests

Any special requests you have such as vegetarian or other special dietary meals, special facilities, specific room allocations or any other requirements you consider important, should be made known to us at the time of booking and advised to us promptly, in writing. If you require the fulfilment of your request to be a condition of your package holiday contract with us, this can only be done if you advise us in writing and our providers agree they can meet your request and we confirm this back to you in writing, separately to the Confirmation Invoice. See also our Important Information with regard to dietary requirements. Special Medical Requirements: If you have any special/medical requirements, it is essential that you bring these to our attention at the earliest opportunity and before confirming your holiday, as some accommodation and resorts may be found to be unsuitable. It is therefore important that you provide us promptly with written details of your requirements in order that we can help you find a suitable holiday. When booking excursions or events in resort, you should ensure that the excursion or event that you have chosen is suitable and that the provider is made aware of any special requirements that you may have, in order that they may take an informed decision as to the suitability of the excursion or event for you.

normally possible to show children’s videos on coach transfers. Some properties are not situated close to coach-accessible roads and walks from 50 to 400 metres, sometimes with gradients, are necessary on arrival and departure. Please see the property description and if this is important to you call our Reservations team. Transfers will endeavour to drop you off directly outside your accommodation wherever possible, but there may be times where, due to adverse weather conditions or other circumstances beyond our control, this may not be possible. We will not accept liability for this and no compensation will be offered where you are required to walk some distance to your accommodation. On occasions there may be waiting times for other flights to join your transfer to resort, and transfers may sometimes involve a change of vehicle en route. Your return transfer coach may also carry guests from more than one flight and this may affect your departure time from resort. In the event of a flight diversion to an outbound flight for whatever reason, Inghams will endeavour to arrange coaches and staff to be at the alternative airport to meet you, but this cannot be guaranteed at short notice and we ask for your patience and understanding. No liability will be accepted if a diversion causes a delay at the arrival airport and/or a longer than advertised transfer to resort. Restrictions on drivers’ working hours can occasionally affect coach availability and may result in delays. Independent Travel: Please note that you should plan to arrive at your accommodation after 4pm on arrival day and to leave by 10am on your departure day. Very few properties have parking spaces for self-drive guests and others have extremely limited spaces or no space at all. Public parking in resort is always subject to availability and will normally incur a charge which you pay locally. If arranging your own flights, it will not be possible to join Inghams’ coach transfers, and you should be aware that it can be extremely expensive to arrange transfers by taxi from your arrival airport to the resort. There will not normally be any price reduction in the event that you choose not to use our flights.

Traveller Information Regulation 5(2)(b): Information to be provided to the traveller before the package travel contract is concluded

Part 1: General: The combination of travel services offered to you is a package within the meaning of the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. Therefore you will benefit from all EU rights applying to the packages. We, Hotelplan Limited, will be fully responsible for the proper performance of the package as a whole. Additionally, as required by law, we have protection in place to refund your payments and, where transport is included in the package, to ensure your repatriation in the event that it becomes/they become insolvent. Part 2: Key rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 • Travellers will receive all essential information about the package before concluding the package travel contract. • There is always at least one trader who is liable for the proper performance of all the travel services included in the contract. • Travellers are given an emergency telephone number or details of a contact point where they can get in touch with the organiser or the travel agent. • Travellers may transfer the package to another person, on reasonable notice and possibly subject to additional costs. • The price of the package may only be increased if specific costs rise (for instance fuel prices), and if expressly provided for in the contract, and in any event not later than 20 days before the start of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package, the traveller may terminate the contract. If the organiser reserves the right to a price increase, the traveller has a right to a price reduction if there is a decrease in the relevant costs. • Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee and get a full refund of any payments if any of the essential elements of the package, other than the price, has changed significantly. If before the start of the package the trader responsible for the package cancels the package, travellers are entitled to a refund and compensation where appropriate. • Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee before the start of the package in the event of exceptional circumstances, for instance if there are serious security problems at the destination which are likely to affect the package. • Additionally, travellers may at any time before the start of the package terminate the contract in return for an appropriate and justifiable termination fee. • If, after the start of the package, significant elements of the package cannot be provided as agreed, suitable alternative arrangements will have to be offered to the traveller at no extra cost. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee, where services are not performed in accordance with the contract and this substantially affects the performance of the package and the organiser fails to remedy the problem. • Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction or compensation for damages or both where the travel services are not performed or are improperly performed. • The organiser has to provide assistance if the traveller is in difficulty. • If the organiser or the retailer becomes insolvent, payments will be refunded. If the organiser becomes insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, repatriation of the travellers is secured. Hotelplan Limited has taken out insolvency protection, for flight-inclusive holidays by virtue of its ATOL, held with the CAA, under ATOL number: 0025, and for non-flight packages, with ABTA Ltd (No. V4871). Please see clause 7 of our Booking Conditions for further information. Travellers may contact these entities if services are denied because of our insolvency. Part 3: The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 can be found here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2018/634/contents/made

Transfers

Please see the price panel on each resort page for transfer times. These are approximate and do not include refreshment/toilet stops. The times may also be affected by weather, road and traffic conditions. In particular, congestion during continental school holidays can cause delays, as may road closures due to roadworks, etc. It may be necessary to wait for guests arriving on other flights, but we try to keep waiting time to as short a time as possible in the circumstances. Transfers can be by coach, shared mini-bus, train or car. Private transfers can be arranged at a supplement – please speak to our Reservations team for further information. “Short transfers” indicates a resort with driving times to/from the airport of 90 minutes or less in normal, undisrupted weather and traffic conditions. Transfers are not always accompanied by an Inghams Representative, though you will usually be met at your arrival airport. The transfer into resort may not stop directly outside your property and at times, a feeder may be provided (if applicable). If you require assistance to the door of your accommodation, please contact our Reservations team. Although many coaches are equipped with toilets, they are not always available for use, for a variety of reasons. European coaches do not always have fitted seatbelts. Infants under the age of 2 years on the return date of travel must sit on a parent’s lap. It is not

discounts shown for European charter flights off the relevant adult basic self-drive or accommodation-only price. • Only one FREE child place is allowed per group claiming a Group Discount. • Infants under 2 years of age on the return travel date to the UK pay an Infant Administration Fee as shown below, provided that the infant travels on a parent’s lap, and no flight, coach or train seat is used: - £49 (when using charter flights) in European hotels and apartments, with direct payment to the accommodation owner of any cot-hire and linen charges, food and drink costs or other applicable charges (£99 on scheduled flights). - £115 in our ‘managed by Inghams’ properties (please see p.11), where travel-cot hire, linen, baby food, use of highchair and changing mat is included in this price. • Please note that infants do not have their own luggage allowance, and must sit on a parent’s lap on the flight and on the transfers. • Child prices and FREE places cannot be combined with online discounts. • The child reductions shown in the brochure are correct at the time of going to press, but may be changed or withdrawn at any time. The correct price will be confirmed at time of booking. • If dual parent families abuse our single parent discounts, we reserve the right to either cancel such bookings without notice or to re-invoice the booking at the correct price. As they are by definition not ‘full-paying guests’, children receiving a FREE place or child discount do not count owards the size of a Group for the purposes of calculating any Group Discount.

INGHAMS

range of facilities and services than is available in 4 and 5 star properties. We also show our own Inghams rating of each property alongside the property name and above its description. These ratings are based on our own inspections of properties as well as on customer feedback as expressed in our questionnaires. Our star rating is indicated by a green “star” ranging from HHH to HHHHH. In some cases we award an additional half star where we believe a hotel offers better facilities and services than its official rating would suggest. Conversely we may have downgraded a hotel to give a truer representation of the services and facilities offered. In general the overall standard of services and facilities varies significantly from country to country within star categories. For example, an officially rated 4 star property may only possess 3 star standards (and vice versa) despite having an extensive range of services and facilities. This is because of the many different criteria that are used from country to country to assess star ratings. Please note these criteria can differ significantly to those used in the UK by motoring and other organisations and UK ratings cannot therefore be compared to those used overseas. For example, few tourist authorities include an assessment of culinary performance in their ratings.

Peace of Mind You can rest assured that all our holidays and flights are fully protected, so your trip is in safe hands.
