Mountain climbing holidays are the best kind of holidays.
There's a reason why we're always climbing the things. It's because mountains are beautiful, because you get to feel a sense of accomplishment on a mountain climbing holiday, because you get a new perspective on the world and, to paraphrase George Mallory, because they're there.
That said, mountain climbing holidays don't have to be about climbing the highest mountains in the World. Sure, we'll go up Mont Blanc and have a hell of a time doing it, but often it's the lesser climbed mountains that make for the most memorable trips. That's why we also climb Mount Toubkal in Morocco, Mount Kazbek in Georgia, Mount Maglic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cotopaxi in Ecuador and so many more, alongside the likes of Kilimanjaro and heading to the base camp of Mount Everest.
Climbing mountains and bagging summits is a great way to travel. It's important to give each mountain top and mountain the respect it deserves, though. We're not conquering mountains (they don't fight back after all, however much the weather may make you think they do), and we're not battling nature on mountain climbing holidays. We're moving through it. We're remembering that we're part of it - that society doesn't have to be separate from nature; we're as much a part of it as the flowers and the grass and the rock you'll see on your way to the summit.
All that stuff about having to go to the mountain because the mountain won’t come to you, that’s us down to a tee; our very own, problem-free, philosophy. Sign up to one of these mountain climbing holidays and release your inner Edmund Hillary. A mountain climbing holiday is - we promise - a holiday that you'll remember for a long, long time.
