Guided Walking Holidays
Group Sizes
Our guided walking holidays are ideal for groups of friends
who enjoy walking as well as more formal walking clubs that
wish to explore further afield. Guided walking holidays are
generally available for groups of between 4 and 24 people.
The type of accommodation used and the price of the holiday
will depend on the number in the group. We like to use
smaller, more informal guest houses, where possible for our
holidays, but this won’t be feasible with larger groups.
The price of the holiday is dependent on the number of
people in your party and prices on our website are given as a
guide to probable costs. Please contact us if you would like
further information or a price for your group.
Guides
Our bilingual guides will make sure you make the most of your
holiday through professional, informative & supportive leadership.
As well as ensuring safe progression, the leader will bring to life
the region, through their passion and knowledge on such subjects
as history, geology, food and wine. We only use experienced
guides that are resident in the country. The guide will pace the day
so that there will be plenty of time to take photos, relax and soak
up the atmosphere.
Flexibility
Flexibility around local situations or circumstances by changing the
itinerary where appropriate. For example if the weather was very
wet and everyone agreed that they did not want to do the day's
walk, the guide can provide transport to a location to look around
an abbey or castle. Your guide can also help in terms of under-
standing the best routes for the group’s interests and abilities.
Most of our guided walking holidays can be arranged to start on
any day of week within the periods detailed, subject to availability.
Tailor-Made
All our guided walking holidays are to some extent tailor-made to
suit you and your group's requirements. The guided walking
holidays are adapted to suit your group's abilities, interest and
size. Although there are many guided walking holidays detailed in
this brochure, if there are particular options or changes you are
looking for, please contact us to discuss.
Destinations
We have assembled a range of walks to suit all abilities & tastes
from relatively gentle strolls through vine covered slopes of the
Jura and the Beaujolais in France to more challenging mountain
walks in the alpine heights of the Vanoise National Park. We also
have a number of guided holiday destinations which are not cov-
ered by our brochure. These include the Atlas Mountains and
Sahara Desert in Morocco and the Picos de Europa in Spain.
Travel Options
Our guided walking holidays in France have pick ups from various
airports or train stations such as Lyon for our Beaujolais & Burgun-
dy holidays & Toulouse for our holiday in the Tarn. Pick up and
transfers from other locations may be possible for some holidays,
but may be subject to a supplement. For more details about
practical flights for each guided walking holiday, please visit our
web site or contact us for more information. We can also provide
you with details of secure locations to park your car if you wish to
drive.
