This is a great trip. From day one you’re up in the mountains. And for all 10 days you’ll enjoy a full on walk in incredible scenery. Our guide Gonza was brilliant, with a mine of local information. And we loved our mule, she was our mascot. You are part of a group so if you’re an “Ironman/women“ type with no patience for anyone who doesn’t walk super fast I‘d recommend you to choose self-guided.
This trip proved to be my best holiday ever !!The the tour operator's team are very efficient from the moment you make contact and inquiries and all the way through the trip. The Hotel Des Alpes in Greoux was a perfect place to stay; very clean, comfortable rooms, excellent ,delicious,gourmet dinners, pool to cool off after hiking. Greoux is a charming small town easy to explore on foot. It has many quaint shops and enticing restaurants. I recommend on the way back from the last hike to stop at Thermes De Greoux-Les -Bains and indulge in a spa package there. I tried the Spa Liberte for E39 which was divine. Floating in a warm clay bath to ease the muscles and soften the skin was pure bliss after a hot day of hiking.Thoroughly enjoyed all the hiking trails and was thrilled to be there to see the sunflowers and beautiful lavender in bloom. I think it is worthwhile to book your trip at this time to experience this, however if you do not feel comfortable in the hot climate another time of the year i am sure would be also memorable. A beautiful part of France that i will definitely return to.
Wonderful walks from the railway A varied set of walks in a beautiful green island. Woods, rivers, waterfalls among the mountains. The walks weren't crowded and we were mostly the only walkers on the trail.
