Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, Chamonix is a charming resort town that serves as your base for this adventure. Here, the air is crisp, the vistas breathtaking, and the vibe is a harmonious blend of tranquillity and thrill. As you explore the town, you'll be greeted by the sight of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, standing tall against the azure sky.

The serene Lac Blanc and Lac Cornu, cradled by rugged mountain slopes, offer a tranquil retreat, their beauty amplified by the reflection of the surrounding peaks. And then there's the Aiguillette des Posettes, a summit that rewards you with panoramic views of the Chamonix and Vallorcine valleys.

This walking holiday is not for the faint-hearted. The hikes are demanding, requiring a decent level of physical fitness and hiking experience. Though well-trodden and well-marked, the paths wind through rugged terrain and ascend steep inclines.

But fear not, for they are shortened by scenic cable car rides, and the stunning vistas that greet you at every turn make every step worth the effort. You will even tread along sections of the famed Tour du Mont Blanc.

We take care of all the logistics, from booking your accommodations to providing a detailed day-by-day itinerary and a user-friendly GPS navigation app. We also include local recommendations in our self-guided handouts to ensure you experience the best of Chamonix.

Our goal is to ensure that all you need to worry about is lacing up your hiking boots and immersing yourself in the beauty of the French Alps.

If the mountains are calling, it's time to answer. Lace up your boots, pack your spirit of adventure, and join us on this unforgettable journey. After all, life is too short for ordinary holidays. Let's make it extraordinary, one step at a time.

France is a year-round destination, but the best time for a walking holiday depends on the region. Spring and autumn are generally ideal, with milder temperatures and fewer crowds.

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.
