Hiking holidays in France

You can look forward to an eventful experience on the border in the east of France, because Germany and Freiburg in Breisgau are not far away.  A hiking holiday in Alsace is particularly impressive due to the varied natural landscape, which presents itself with the proud mountain ranges of the Vosges, stately castles and fortresses as well as fertile vineyards. The atmospheric highlights of our walking tour Wissembourg – Saverne, 8 days, the walking tour Saverne – Barr, 7 days and our walking holiday Barr – Kaysersberg, 8 days include the historic city centres, where you will feel like you have been transported back in time. On the walking tour Vineyards and Vosges Summits, 7 days you can explore the dreamy regions from their most beautiful side.

Normandy in the north of France is guaranteed to cast a spell over you. Away from the vast Atlantic coast, the many medieval buildings and monuments create a special backdrop. Many of the abbeys that you see on your walks through Normandy are a living piece of French cultural history. On our walking tour Normandy & Jersey, 8 days, a special holiday panorama awaits you between the cliffs and seemingly endless beaches. And the trip to Jersey is a particularly extraordinary highlight. In Normandy, many typical regional delicacies from the sea ensure that after an active day of hiking, you will also experience culinary delights.

The name says it all, because on the lively Côte d’Azur an azure blue sky will be your companion on hiking holidays most days of the year. But it’s not only the coast with its glamourous places and fine beaches that will bring you closer to the southern French way of life. The countryside in particular inspires with lush vegetation and small, romantic villages. Our individual walking tour Côte d’Azur, 8 days takes you from Grasse, via Vence and to Menton past the most beautiful places between the Mediterranean and inland. A spectacular active adventure!

With a height of 4,809 metres, Mont Blanc is one of the highest peaks that can be climbed in Europe. In this respect, the ‘White Giant’, which you will always see when visibility is good, has some challenging tours in store for ambitious hikers. A lot has happened since the first ascent at the end of the 18th century. On our professional trekking Tour Mont Blanc West, 7 days, the trekking holiday Tour du Mont Blanc, 12 days and the trekking Tour Mont Blanc East, 7 days you will get to see the impressive mountain world at different altitudes and perspectives. Enjoy cross-border and cross-cultural impressions as part of these hiking tours without luggage, as Italy and Switzerland are waiting as stage destinations in addition to France.

As the largest country in the EU in terms of area, France guarantees incredible culinary variety and unique food culture, because each region has its own unique characteristics. However, one thing is the same in all parts of France – the particularly high quality of the food and drinks. Experience the wonderful French cuisine on our hiking tours and try the regional wines and typical coffee with milk, café au lait. From the rich dishes, the strong cheese and tasty apple pie in Normandy, the fresh seafood and sweet crepes in Brittany, the truffle in Périgord, the unmistakable herbs and fresh vegetables in Provence, the delicious Mediterranean cuisine in southern France and the hearty meals in Alsace including sauerkraut and Flammkuchen. As you can see, you could spend hours talking about the French variety, tasting your way through and feasting. Try the food culture of France for yourself on hour hiking tours with luggage transfer.
