The most beautiful hiking regions in France
Our bestselling hike tours in France
Alsace
Look forward to an eventful 'border experience' in the east of France, as Germany and Freiburg im Breisgau are not far away. A hiking holiday in Alsace impresses above all with its varied natural landscape, which presents itself with the proud mountain ranges of the Vosges, stately castles and fortresses as well as fertile vineyards.
Normandy
Normandy in the north of France is guaranteed to cast a spell over you. Away from the vast Atlantic coast, the many medieval buildings and monuments create a special backdrop. Many of the abbeys that you see on your walks through Normandy are a living piece of French cultural history.
Brittany
Brittany is the perfect hiking destination for anyone who likes things to be quieter and more unspoilt. The sparsely populated rural regions of Brittany in particular create an indescribable atmosphere that makes everyday life and stress a distant memory.
Dordogne-Périgord
An exceptional active experience awaits you on our walking holiday in the south-west of France. With every single hiking step you will immerse even more in the pristine nature of the region and there will always be plenty of time to enjoy the wonderful culinary specialities and experience the cultural sights along your way.
Burgundy
Our Burgundy hiking holiday is a particularly wonderful way to combine French enjoyment with active exercise. The beautiful regions of Burgundy are among the most wonderful places in the whole country and the particularly fertile soil provides the perfect basis for successful winegrowing - and has done for thousands of years.
French alps
Mont Blanc
With a height of 4,809 metres, Mont Blanc is one of the highest peaks that can be climbed in Europe. In this respect, the ‘White Giant’, which you will always see when visibility is good, has some challenging tours in store for ambitious hikers.

Southern France
Provence
Here in the south of France, the clocks tick a little slower. As such, you can enjoy a relaxed climate on our carefully selected hiking holidays with Eurohike - perfect for escaping the daily grind and taking some time for yourself. The Mediterranean climate in Provence will spoil you with plenty of sunny days at any time of year.
Côte d'Azur
The name says it all, because on the lively Côte d’Azur an azure blue sky will be your companion on hiking holidays most days of the year. But it’s not only the coast with its glamourous places and fine beaches that will bring you closer to the southern French way of life. The countryside in particular inspires with lush vegetation and small, romantic villages.
Useful information about your hike tour in France
The French climate
Our hiking holidays in France are as diverse as the four different climate zones. The coasts in the north and west have a more humid climate with hot summer months and cold winters. In the east and in central France, you can enjoy a Mediterranean climate with mild winters. In the south on the Mediterranean coast, it gets hot in summer, whereas the winter months tend to be mild and hiking-friendly. At altitudes above 800 metres, France has a typical mountain climate with regular rainfall.
France's Haute cuisine
France, with its world-famous dishes, top chefs and kitchen secrets, is regarded as the cradle of fine cuisine and the centre of good taste. In France, eating is more than just food - it is a piece of culture. With dishes such as coq au vin (chicken in red wine sauce), foie gras (foie gras), tarte flambée or the heavenly dessert crème brûlée, the French have achieved international fame.
French culture and traditions
France is a country with countless traditions and customs. The sustainable preservation of its rich material cultural heritage is particularly important and the national cultural awareness is high. One of the most internationally recognised cultural highlights is the film festival in Cannes on the Côte d'Azur in the south of France, which brings together actors and film stars from all over the world every year in May. Another important event takes place every year on 21 June - the Fête de la Musique. A music festival at which professional and amateur musicians perform free of charge.
