Crowned by some of the most iconic, snow-capped peaks in the world, the Alps region unfolds as the ultimate playground for high-altitude walking vacations, scenic rail journeys, and classic alpine group travel. Multi-day itineraries allow travelers to seamlessly cross European borders, connecting the timbered mountain villages of Switzerland and France with the dramatic limestone ridges of the Italian Dolomites and the pristine valley pastures of Austria. Renowned globally for its world-class resort infrastructure and historic mountaineering heritage, the region captivates outdoor adventurers with high-altitude trekking loops like the Tour du Mont Blanc, panoramic cogwheel train routes, and a charming, cozy mountain lifestyle defined by wood-fired culinary traditions and pristine glacial lakes.

How do I book, change or cancel a tour?
ToursOnTheWeb is a travel comparision platform and does not accept any booking or payment from any traveller or participant. You can search, compare and share group tours, individual tours and river cruises conveniently online. Booking, changes and cancellation are handled directly by the tour operator.
The tour details page will show you a simple button that will take you straight to the correct tour page at the operator's web site where you can ask for more information, check current availability or make your booking.
ONLY the Terms and Conditions of the tour operator apply to your booking - unlike bookings through traditional or online travel agents who may add a whole lot of additional terms and conditions of their own, also regarding a deposit payment. There are no additional fees whatsoever when booking at ToursOnTheWeb.
Cancellation may be bound to fees, depending on when you cancel and the tour price. The tour operator will have incurred expenses that it may not be able to recover and now has to find someone else to travel in your place. Some operators allow you to re-schedule without a fine.
When is the best time to travel?
Most people travel in the high season, when the schools are closed and the temperatures are the highest. This may make sense for beach vacations with children. But remember that these periods (July and August in Europe + N-America, China & Japan) are by far the busiest. There will be crowds everywhere.
The hottest season has become even hotter and dryer in the past few years due to climate change, sometimes resulting in forest fires. Sometimes temperatures have become unbearable. In extreme cases attractions may close during the hottest times of the day.
Due to seasonal droughts and low water levels, some river cruises may not be able to go everywhere as planned. This may lead to cancellations and itinerary changes for example on the Rhine and Danube.
For the above reasons we highly recommend travelling in the shoulder season, just before or after the peak season. Fewer people travel, temperatures are still nice, accommodations are cheaper and there are no problems with heat or drought. This is the best time to travel!
