Wild Mountains: Five Places You Must See
Mountains are among the most striking places on Earth. We've picked five locations that should be on every nature lover's list.
Five places to remember
- High Tatras – the highest range of the Carpathians, with dozens of glacial lakes and mountain huts
- Dolomites – striking limestone peaks in northern Italy
- Scottish Highlands – rugged landscape of lochs and moorland
- Norwegian fjords – mountains dropping straight into the sea
- Swiss Alps – glaciers, mountain lakes and endless viewpoints
When to go
Late summer and early autumn tend to be the most pleasant time for mountain trips – the days are still long, but the extreme heat has eased.
Whichever of these places you choose, the mountains will always remind you how small we are compared to the nature around us.
