French Alps Hiking

Discover the beautiful French village of Chamonix, in the Haute Sovoie. The village is one of the most famous villages in the Alps, seeing an enormous increase in tourism ever since Mont Blanc was first climbed 200 years ago.

Hiking in the area is full of lush forests, magnificent waterfalls, vast meadows, high peaks, and a variety of truly breathtaking glacial scenery. The trails that make up Alps hiking trips in the area are easily accessible, and when you're not exploring the area, you can spend a rest day exploring Chamonix's restaurants, shops, museums, and galleries. For total relaxation, we recommend the hotel garden and swimming pool.

Intimate Alps Hiking Trips

At Alpine Trails, we believe that small is beautiful – not referring to the vast landscapes of the Alps, but to the group size that we take on our various trips. We believe this allows us to provide each guest with the attention necessary to truly enjoy their surroundings.

We offer the beauty of nature in combination with the creature comforts that many of our guests enjoy. Our hotel selections are beautiful and truly accommodating, and we are happy to provide guests with a day or two to simply lounge about the area. Whether you join us for a French Alps hiking trip or a trip to the highest village in Austria, we are certain that you'll enjoy your experience with Alpine Trails. We don't like a lot of hype, and we haven't spent a lot of money on marketing, but we have an 80% –90% guest return rate, and we believe that speaks for itself.
