TUI Lakes & Mountains
Our Complete Guide To TUI Lakes & Mountains Holidays In 2025/2026
If you love exploring the outdoors, booking a holiday with TUI Lakes & Mountains is the perfect way to organise this, whether you prefer hiking in the mountains of Switzerland or simply relaxing with a glass of local wine and a stunning view in Slovenia. There are some incredible destinations to be discovered, focusing in and around the European Alps. Take a look at destinations like Lake Garda and Lake Como in Italy, Interlaken and Zermatt in Switzerland or Zell am See and St Johann in Austria's Tyrol for some of the brand's top resorts.
If you're looking for more inspiration, you can check out the Discover Lakes & Mountains page, dedicated to giving you tips and ideas for your next outdoor adventure, like what are the best things to do in Poland, and find out whether Lake Como or Lake Maggiore is better for you. It's also worth bearing in mind that twin centre and multi-centre holidays are also available, so you can combine a beautiful city like Salzburg with the stunning scenery of Kitzbuhel.
Activities
Many people prefer to simply sit back and relax when they book a Lakes & Mountains holiday, taking in the mountain views from the terrace, or enjoying views of the lake from the spa. For others, being in the great outdoors is the perfect opportunity to try something new and get a bit adventurous.
One thing that shouldn't be missed is the incredible hikes on offer in each of the regions. There's no better way to enjoy the scenery than to put on your backpack and go for a walk. Guided walks are also available in many locations which is a good idea if you are new to hiking or are unfamiliar with the area.
Excursions
Excursions and day trips are the ideal way to find somewhere new or try something different. These can either be organised directly with TUI when you book your holiday, or you can organise them independently yourself, giving you the freedom to choose an excursion you like. These could range from ski gondola rides up into the mountains, or sitting back and taking in the scenery by railway. You can even try things like chocolate tasting and chocolate making in Switzerland, arguably the best chocolate making country in the world.
Spas & Fitness
Many hotels within the lakes and mountains range offer spa facilities or a variation of it. A lot of European's choose areas like the Alps for their holiday to simply escape and enjoy the fresh mountain air, and with it, the chance to rest, recover and get a little bit healthier. Spa facilities can range from outdoor hot tubs and massage to full health centres with swimming pools, steam rooms and saunas. Some "retreat" style hotels will also offer a healthier food selection, giving you the option of eating healthy with healthy juices for breakfast and tasty salads for dinner.
Free Child Places
TUI's free child places offers are a great way to save on your next holiday if you're taking children. They may be available on lakes and moutains holidays so it's worth checking. It's worth also looking at a number of different accommodation options, as some hotels may be more child friendly than others. Some hotels offer a half board option, so that you don't have to worry too much about spending extra, especially on kids meals while you're away, which again, can help reduce the cost of your holiday in the outdoors.
Twin Centre Holidays
Being able to take a holiday can often be at a premium these days, with your time having to be split all over the place, so another option is to book a twin centre Lakes & Mountains holiday. This allows you to experience more of a destination, combining different locations and hotels, like spending a few days in Lucerne city before heading down to Wengen to enjoy a true escape in the Swiss countryside. Or how about an adventurous trip, hiking in the Italian Dolomites, before spending a couple of days at a spa hotel on the shores of Lake Como?
More Ways To Save
And don't forget there are other ways you can save on your next holiday too. Late deals and last minute mountain holidays can often be worth taking a look at, especially if TUI puts on charter flights from regional UK airports like Belfast, Manchester or Edinburgh. Another way is to check for the latest TUI discount code, which can also help to bring down the cost of your holiday, usually if you spend over a certain amount. And don't forget keeping up to date with special offers. Every so often, TUI may have a promotion with some great deals such as money off your booking.
