| | | | | If the recent heatwave in parts of the UK has you longing for cooler mountain air, we’re here to help. We’ve picked some of our favourite trips with peaks to enjoy from classic alpine scenery in Switzerland to the iconic Rockies in Canada. But a trip into the mountains can offer more than just spectacular views, you could combine the bustle of Marrakech with the peace of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco or see Machu Picchu and (hopefully) condors in the Andes, enjoy a guided walk on an active volcano in Sicily or iconic views of Mount Fuji amongst the temples and technology of Japan. Plus, for an even more epic adventure, explore our range of treks from the Inca Trail to climbing Kilimanjaro. | | The Guardian Holidays team
