Drome Explorer walking holiday - discover the Drome and Vercors in southern France
Discover the amazing diversity of the Drome and the Vercors National Park in this week long guided walking holiday in France. From our luxurious accommodation we are perfectly placed to explore areas of outstanding beauty, mountain views, ancient villages, markets and vineyards. One of the best locations for guided walking holidays in France, the region is completely unspoilt.
A walkers’ paradise - the best of southern France
In May and June, before the scorching summer heat takes hold, the landscape is green and lush, and the crystal clear rivers, home to beavers and kingfishers, are fast flowing and teeming with fish. And September and October offer glorious blue skies and perfect weather for walking.
In the surrounding hills and mountains, there are many trails for walkers offering stunning views, abundant wildlife and beautiful wild flowers. To the north in the Vercors National Park, marvel at the alpine meadows with views to the Alps. To the south there are fields of lavender and vineyards set against the beautiful rolling landscape of Provence.
We take five easy to moderate day walks to explore the area; the pace is quite relaxed to allow you and other members of the group to take photographs and savour the views. There should also be time to explore other locations of interest; villages, markets and other attractions. You will see the very best this beautiful region has to offer, and by choosing a guided walking holiday you can rest assured that all the hard work is done for you.
In the evening, enjoy a dip in the pool, relax with a glass of wine on the terrace, and admire the stunning views during a delicious four course meal prepared by our chef. Guided walking holidays in France like this are hard to find; the group size is small, the guide knows the area intimately, and the location is unique, we get many repeat bookings for this guided walking holiday.
