Walking Holidays in the Alps

For majestic scenery, rewarding mountain ascents and delicious cuisine in quaint towns, nothing compares to an exhilarating walking holiday in the Alps. With diverse flora and fauna, interesting wildlife sightings and plenty of opportunities to wander through pine forests and old way-marked trails, our wide range of walking holidays in the Alps are perfect for every walking and hiking enthusiast.

On foot, discover the French Alps crevasse-scarred glaciers, crystal clear lakes and feast your eyes on the highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc, (or “La Dame Blanche”, to the French) from the summit of Aiguillette des Houches (2285m-7500ft).

While walking in the Alps you can also cross the border into to Switzerland. On this part of the route you can hike past wildflower meadows with views of the Trient Glacier towards the chocolate-box Alpine towns of Martigny and Orsières with formidable mountain panoramas as your backdrop.

For a slower pace, why not trek in the Julian Alps in Slovenia, to see the towering Mount Špik and beautiful Higher Falls. On our Slovenia Alps trip, you can also explore the Karavanke Mountain Range and head off the beaten track to hike to the peak of Golica (1836m) for a truly unforgettable view.

I really enjoyed this area and all the walks we did, and the day off on the coast. Overall a very positive and friendly experience for my first group holiday on my own for 25years. The walks we did were essentially all in a semi-circle area around a valley, though each day had a slightly different character and feel to me. All were either started from the pension or a short drive away. We saw some goats and buzzards, though overall less wildlife than I am used to. All the paths were relatively quiet compared to many English popular areas, which I enjoyed. There was a drive down to a stream through narrow town streets that was fun and a chance to buy local olive oil (which did survive the flight back). I enjoyed getting up to see each pretty sunrise. Both towns we visited either side of Benidorm on our day off I also surprised myself by enjoying and are worth visiting.

Absolutely wonderful. Michael (our group leader) was incredible. Best leader I’ve ever experienced. His knowledge and passion for everything elevated the trip experience through the roof.

This was our first Exodus trip. We loved the group size (11) and its compatibility, mix of activities, and the incredible knowledge of the tour leader, Michael/Miguel. On most days we were out and about from 9 to 5. The terrain was lovely – hills and mountains surrounding rolling pastureland and olive farms. We saw and walked through so many white villages, and some of us took an extra 4 hour trip to Ronda, one of the most famous. The hiking was moderate. For me, the oldest by several years at age 75, it was at times tough because of the many ups and downs with the inclines occasionally too steep and long. The other 10 handled it with less trouble. Our tour leader, Michael/Miguel, knew everything about farming, geology, plants and animals and birds, and the history of the area. We all marveled at the extent of his knowledge! The farmhouse we stayed in was lovely with good food (the paella the last night was the best!), though the rooms lacked good lighting and the beds seemed a bit soft. This is a fun trip to go on for the activity, lovely scenery, and variety. We combined it with 2 days in Malaga and 4 in Granada and found every day rich and magical.
