Walk France with Sherpa Expeditions

Sherpa offer a variety of walking holidays in France encompassing practically the whole country.

You can choose between guided and self-guided options and a number of holidays have options to increase (or decrease) the length of walk.

The hotels used are chosen for their accessibility to the trail and for the warmth of their welcome. Many of their hoteliers are keen walkers themselves and take an active and helpful interest in our clients' progress.

Self-Guided Walks
You set your own pace as you are not limited by the constraints of group travel. You are free to shorten or lengthen your walk as the terrain permits and can even take a day off! As long as you are reasonably active you will be able to find a walk to suit you.

Guided Walks
For those that don't wish to travel alone or would prefer to have a guide Sherpa offer escorted versions of some of their most popular Inn to Inn treks throughout the year. These walks follow the same routes and stay in the same hotels as the self-guided independent trips. The only difference is that instead of getting a set of route notes and maps you get a guide with knowledge of the local area to escort you on your walk.

Sherpa Expeditions was founded 30 years ago; long before adventure travel became as widely accepted as it is today, and long before the internet. Since their first offering in 1973 of a month in Nepal including flights for less than $500 (alas no longer available!), they have adapted and adjusted to their clients' needs.
