Is a hiking holiday your dream getaway? For those who love running through nature and explore magnificent hiking trails, there’s no doubt you’ll enjoy Vacanceole’s hiking holidays. All that’s left to do is choose the perfect spot: follow our guide to help you choose your walking holiday destination, in the countryside or in the mountains!

Hike or trail holidays in France: choosing the right destination for you

Of course, the beauty of the scenery will play a big role in your decision making: from enchanting coastlines to snow-capped mountains, you’ll be spoiled for choice in France. Don’t forget to check the level of difficulty for each circuit. Especially if you’re just starting out or if you’re planning your hiking holiday as a family. The Northern Alps and Southern Alps are the perfect place for hiking: there's something for everyone!

As for the various types of accommodation, anything goes on this kind of holiday! The holiday village with walks is the obvious choice, but a hotel room or a charming apartment in a mountain residence can also be suitable. All that matters is having beautiful walking routes nearby! 

To make the right choice, simply go with your instincts. A room can be perfect for example if you’re just looking for a comfortable place to rest between days out. But you might rather stay in an apartment or fully equipped holiday house if you prefer your independence with your partner or the whole family! And the ideal choice? Choosing a Green Key certified residence for a stay that’s 100% green and an eco-friendly holiday!

Holiday village with hikes: a few good spots for exploring

Don’t know where to go for your hiking holidays? Here are a few of our suggestions! In the South West for example, you’ll find the holiday village Le Domaine des Grands Lacs*** in Biscarrosse, all that’s missing is you! As for the walks, the Dune du Pilat is our number one recommendation. It’s worth the effort for the breathtaking views out over the Cap Ferret headland. You can also try out a wide range of other sports activities, like windsurfing, kitesurfing, mountain biking... And round off your day back at the pool at your residence.

Unless you’re dreaming of a trip to the mountains for your family walking holiday? In that case, head to Jura for your summer holiday, where the holiday village Les Crozats*** is ready to welcome you in Uxelles. Your children can even enjoy the kids’ club at the residence.
