INSPIRATION | HIKING<br />

Hotel Cattaro<br />

Ladder of Kotor<br />

Kotor, Montenegro<br />

<strong>The</strong> view of the Bay of Kotor is one that never fails to<br />

elicit swoons and sighs - and it looks even better from<br />

above. Those that embark on the famous ‘Ladder of<br />

Kotor’ hiking trail are treated to panoramic vistas from<br />

more than 3,000 feet above the UNESCO-protected<br />

Old Town. It’s not a hike for the faint-hearted, with<br />

more than 70 U-turns following an old horse trail to<br />

the fjord, but the sights that surround you are worth<br />

the trek. Hiking the ladder during early summer<br />

means the climate isn’t scorching, but you’ll still need<br />

plenty of water and of course, a fully-charged camera.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hike can also be done from the top down if<br />

you’re not too keen on the ascent. Once you reach<br />

the bottom, rest your wonderfully exhausted limbs at<br />

the award-winning Hotel Cattero. In the heart of Old<br />

Town, the historic boutique hotel blends 18th-century<br />

charm with modern luxury, with remarkable views of<br />

Kotor Bay. www.hhe.travel/cattaro<br />
