Picture a journey that takes you through rolling vineyards, past mediaeval castles standing sentinel on verdant hills, and into the heart of charming villages that seem to have sprung from the pages of a fairytale. Can you imagine it?
You just caught the essence of our Alsace Walking Holidays, a voyage of discovery that meanders along the most enchanting section of the Alsace Wine Route, offering a symphony of sensory delights and a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences.
In the heart of eastern France, where the Rhine River carves its path, lies Alsace, a region that is as rich in history as it is in natural beauty. Here, the Alsace Wine Route unfurls like a ribbon, winding through a patchwork of vineyards that stretch towards the horizon, their neat rows of vines a testament to the region's viticultural heritage.
From the tranquil haven of Thannenkirch, with its panoramic vistas of the Rhine Valley, to the bustling town of Ribeauville, where ancient architecture whispers tales of a bygone era, every step on this journey is a step into a world of wonder.
The serene Lac Noir, cradled in the bosom of the Vosges Mountains, offers a refreshing interlude amidst the vineyard landscapes, while the picturesque towns of Kaysersberg, Turckheim, and Eguisheim, each with its unique charm and rich wine culture, add layers of intrigue to this captivating journey.
We book all the hotels so you can have a comfortable place to rest after a day of exploration. We provide a detailed written handout with a day-by-day itinerary, GPS navigation with a user-friendly app, and local recommendations to help you make the most of your journey.
And because we know that the joy of inn-to-inn hiking lies in the journey and not in the logistics, we take care of luggage transfer, leaving you free to enjoy the walk and the wine.
Let the Alsace Wine Route unfold its secrets, one step, one village, and one bottle of wine at a time. After all, life, like a good wine, is meant to be savoured, not rushed.

Walking Holidays Slovenia is great! They provided all of the information and made the arrangements for our self guided walk in Triglav National Park. We hiked to Vodnikov Dom the first day, then to the Seven Lakes Basin the second day, then back to Ribcev Laz the third day. The trails were well marked, and the GPS app recommended by Walking Holidays Slovenia was very helpful for keeping us on track. The trails were very rocky in places, which was a bit of a challenge for us, but it was so beautiful! Very much recommend this company!
We had an incredible time on the 5 day hut to hut hike in Croatia. The views were perfect, the accommodation much nicer than we imagined and we had a fantastic support guide - Ivan - who was very friendly and made the whole trip possible. We were also able to go to the beach most days after we finished our hiking and everything was very flexible. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

having any guarantees about what we were getting. It was a foreign company that we couldn’t find much information about, so there was a lot of anticipation regarding what kind of information we would receive, the standard of the hotels, and whether the luggage transport would work. But everything has gone smoothly. You responded quickly when we contacted you on WhatsApp, and you were solution-oriented. The hikes were great — we made a few adjustments due to the heat on the first day. I was active on social media, and many people have been impressed by the trip. I’ve shared the link to your website with around 10 friends. If you need a reference for other Norwegians, that’s no problem. I’ve posted some videos from the trip on my Instagram: @bjorghatloy. Thank you so much for the trip!
My husband and I recently completed a Walking Holiday of the Amalfi Coast for 11 days, which was absolutely fantastic and the highlight of our trip to Italy. The travel agents who organised the tour Anja and Samo were very helpful, adjusting and customising it to suit our requests. The accomodation booked for us was very comfortable and the transfer of our luggage from hotel to hotel took place with no issues. Our hiking guides including Alessandra, Marcella and Diego were all exceptional. They were friendly, supportive and extremely knowledgable about the towns and regions we walked in. They ensured we had a fantastic experience creating memories, while enjoying the walking, the amazing views, the tasty food and the beautiful Italian culture. I highly recommend this walking tour and would encourage anyone who was planning a similar holiday to book through this company. It was a great way to see and experience the Amalfi Coast.
Tour was very well organised with lots of information to help guide us through the holiday. All the accommodation was great. Particularly liked the self catering Glamping Mountain Fairytale and the Berghi Hotel. Food at the Hotel Starkl restaurant was great as well. The route took us through a beautiful part of the country on quiet roads and cycle paths. The cycle paths are much better than in the UK and I would also like to say that Slovenian car drivers are much more patient and tolerant than many drivers in the UK. Beautiful country. Really enjoyed it.
