Walking holidays in the French Alps –

great views and rich wildlife
If the sweeping views and crisp mountain air weren’t enough, the abundance of wildlife, and the fascinating blend of cultures, make walking holidays in the French Alps very special. In the true spirit of a Slow holiday, pause as often as you like to admire it all – you’re not part of a group, and have no luggage to carry (we take care of that, along with providing route notes and ensuring the arrangements run like clockwork), so don’t rush…

Where to go walking in the French Alps

Alpine walking holidays are hard to beat. Just to gaze at the majestic peaks gives a tingle of excitement. Our Alps to the Mediterranean holiday promises a real sense of journey as you descend through the Alpes Maritimes to the sunny south coast. Alternatively, you’ll get a real sense of fulfilment from our longer holiday which leads across the border from France into Switzerland, exploring both the Chablais Alps and the Vaudoise Alps.
