【推荐2】Camping isn’t for everyone. That much is true.     1     Below we address some of the concerns you might have about going camping to help you decide if it is right for you.

You don’t have to be an “outdoors person” to enjoy camping.     2     You don’t need to be an outdoors type to appreciate the fun of being in the countryside and breathing fresh air. There are many different ways to camp and things to do when camping. You can choose what suits you. And you might be surprised by how incredibly comfortable a tent can be!

    3     Even though there is so much awesome camping gear (装备) on the market, all you really need to get started is a tent, something to sleep on and in, something to cook on and a few utensils (器皿). Most of these can be brought from home.

    4     These days camping gear and equipment is advanced and there is no reason why you can’t be very comfortable, clean and have all your essentials on hand when camping. Unless you want to rough it, which is still easy too. There are campsites available which offer as many or as few facilities as you like, including Wi-Fi, restaurants and hot showers.

Camping is not boring. There is an absolute ton of things to do while camping. Getting active, exploring the landscape, visiting local towns and attractions, playing games and sports or just chilling out with a good book.     5

【推荐1】Summer in the Alps from £200

Alpine skiing holidays are seldom cheap, and their reputation (声誉) is longer than the snow season. The Alps chain is long and wide, extending from France to Slovenia through six other nations.

All use either the euro or the Swiss franc, but some countries want more of them than others. Austria’s Wilder Kaiser (Emperor Mountains), in the Eastern Tirol, is about an hour’s drive from Innsbruck, Salzburg and Munich. Four villages —Ellmau, Going, Scheffau and Soll — provide bases for hiking, cycling, horse riding and foodie journies. It’s possible to keep costs down by picnicking instead of eating out, camping or using huts, or doing a “workation” on a farm or other local business.

Top tip

Accommodation providers across the region booked through the official wilderkaiser. info website give guests a Wilder Kaiser GuestCard on arrival, which covers local buses and gives lots of discounts, including on summer cable cars.

When to go

Spring through to the autumn months are really lovely in the Eastern Alps.

Do it yourself

Fly Manchester to Munich with EasyJet (easyjet. com), from £67 return in October. The excellent wilderkaiser. info website offers a range of accommodation options and an easy booking service.
