Featured Trekking Holidays in France

Toughest to Gentlest Walks in France

We have walking holidays in France for every level of experience, from walks in the high Pyrenees and the GR20; the toughest long distance trail in Europe, to slightly easier self-guided routes where you’ll get plenty of down time to wander Provencal markets, quaint French villages and indulge in the local cuisine.

Guided and Self-Guided Walking Holidays in France

France is the quintessential walking holiday destination, offering a spectacular tapestry of landscapes—from the rugged peaks of the Alps and Pyrenees to tranquil lavender fields, dramatic cliffs, and charming villages. Did you know you can choose the level of freedom and support that best suits your adventurous spirit: guided or self-guided walking holidays?

Small Group Treks

Our guided walking holidays in France are perfect for those who want to focus entirely on the experience and let expert guides handle logistics, navigation, and pacing. Ideal for solo travellers or those seeking a group dynamic, these trips include seasoned guides who navigate challenging terrain—such as high-altitude alpine trails—while enriching your journey with local stories and insights.

Whether trekking through the majestic Tour du Mont Blanc circuit or tackling the demanding GR20 in Corsica, guided hiking holidays provide full backing and allow you to push your limits safely.

Self-Guided Walking Holidays

Prefer to set your own rhythm? Our self-guided walking holidays in France offer total autonomy and flexibility. Travel solo, explore at your own pace, and immerse yourself in the landscapes and local culture without the constraints of a fixed group itinerary.

Our self-guided trekking and walking routes in France are designed to blend adventure with convenience: you'll get detailed route notes (as well as an app with live navigation), luggage transfer, and responsive support just a phone call away.
