The Guardian is inviting readers to share their favourite non-ski holiday experiences in Europe's mountains for a chance to win a £200 voucher towards a stay at a Coolstays property. The best tip, selected by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will be featured in Saturday magazine and on the Travel website.
What to Include in Your Tip
Readers are encouraged to share details about their best trips and experiences, including Alpine activities, unforgettable vistas, and great places to stay amid Europe's peaks. This could encompass hiking, via ferrata or cycling routes, activity or spa breaks, regional food, and mountain refuges or cabins.
Each tip should be kept to about 100 words. While relevant photos are welcome, the judging will be based solely on the written words.
Competition Details and Eligibility
The competition is open to UK residents only, for legal reasons. Entries must be submitted by Monday 7 September at 10am BST. Participants must be 18 or over and can share their story anonymously if they wish.
The winner will receive a £200 voucher to use at a Coolstays property, a company with more than 3,000 options worldwide. Past winners and other tips are available for review, along with the full terms and conditions.
How to Submit Your Entry
Travel tips can be shared via the provided form. Responses are secure, as the form is encrypted and only the Guardian has access to contributions. Personal data will be used solely for the purpose of the feature and deleted when no longer required. For alternative ways to get in touch securely, readers can consult the tips guide.
If you encounter any issues with the form, additional contact methods are available. The competition closes on Monday 7 September at 10am BST, and the best tips will be published in Saturday magazine and on the Travel website.
