France is a great trekking destination due to its diverse landscapes, iconic routes like the Tour du Mont Blanc, and a rich cultural heritage. From the rugged Alps to charming villages, the strong infrastructure in the country makes trekking in France an accessible adventure for all travellers.
When to trek in France depends on your tolerance for other tourists. Optimal trekking times for most of France are late spring (May-June) and early fall (Sept-Oct) for mild weather and fewer crowds. Higher-elevation trails are only accessible in the peak season of June-September due to snow.
If you are thinking about what to pack when trekking in France, you will need to tailor your list slightly to the season and region. Essential items include lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing, a waterproof jacket, large water bottle, sturdy hiking boots, and a suitable pack. Ensure you are protected from the weather with sunscreen and sunglasses. Don’t forget to carry a basic first aid kit, blister treatment, and high-energy snacks.
Luggage transfers are available on many treks in France, enabling travellers to fully experience the beauty of the landscape without the hassle of carrying baggage. In some regions, such as the remote mountain terrain of the Alps, luggage transfers are not possible due to logistical difficulties.
If you are planning to trek in France, the duration of the trip will largely come down to which route you want to explore. Generally speaking, you should account for at least 10 days in order to have rest days before and after the tour, although longer routes may require a minimum of 2 weeks.
While many treks in France are not suitable for children, there are plenty of shorter family-friendly walks in France. If you have your heart set on a family-friendly walking tour in France, consider looking into a hiking tour in Southern France, as the terrain there is slightly more favourable than in other, more mountainous regions.
The types of accommodations when trekking in France can range from hotels located directly along the trail, to cozy guest houses set in the countryside, or even remote refuges tucked away in the mountains. The accommodations that you end up securing will depend largely on the season, as well as local availability at each stop on your itinerary.
For many travellers, self-guided treks in France are the ideal way to experience the country, as they allow you to move at your own pace. By immersing yourself in the local culture and surrounding landscape, it will make for a more authentic travel experience when trekking in France.
For travellers who want a bit more structure to their active holiday, guided treks in France are a great option to explore. Whether you choose to join a scheduled departure or organize a private guided tour for just your party, a guided trek in France will provide the security and local knowledge needed for an unforgettable experience.
