Imagine the warmth of the Mediterranean sun on your skin, the gentle sea breeze in your hair, and the rhythmic lullaby of the azure waves as your soundtrack. You're meandering along the sun-kissed coastline of the French Riviera, where the sea meets the sky in a mesmerising dance of colours.
The Côte d'Azur is a radiant canvas of hues and textures. Your journey begins in Menton, a town painted in pastel shades, where the air is perfumed with the scent of blooming lemon groves. As you move towards the opulent city-state of Monaco, the sight of luxury casinos and a yacht-lined harbour is a testament to its grandeur.
The Belle Époque charm of Beaulieu-sur-Mer and the rustic allure of Villefranche-sur-Mer, with its narrow, winding streets and colourful houses, offer a delightful contrast. Your journey culminates in Nice, the pulsating heart of the Riviera.
Our hikes are designed to be lowkey and enjoyable, following the coastline and offering breathtaking views of the sea, the cliffs, and the towns. The trails are mostly flat, with minimal elevation changes, making them suitable for anyone who enjoys walking and can handle a couple of hours of daily walking.
We take care of all the details so you can focus on the experience. We book your accommodations in charming local hotels, provide a detailed digital guidebook with a day-by-day itinerary, and offer GPS navigation through a user-friendly app.
We also include local recommendations for dining and sightseeing, and we're always available to solve any logistical issues. All you need to do is pack your walking shoes and have a sense of adventure.
Join us on our French Riviera Hiking Holiday and let the Côte d'Azur work its magic on you.

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.
