ADVENTURE HIKING TRIPS IN FRANCE

Fabulous France is a large country in western Europe that shares borders with Spain and Andorra to the south, and Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and Monaco across its eastern borders. It is just a short hop across the English Channel from the UK, where the London to Paris train takes just over 2 hours. France is the third largest country in Europe, after Russia and Ukraine, and has a wonderful mixture of natural terrain to explore. The capital city of Paris is famed for its culture, fashion, arts, science, and known for its turbulent and ancient history.

From the stunning beaches of northern France to the lush green wine regions of southern France, there is plenty of nature to experience here. The French Alps begin at the south-eastern corner of France where they straddle the borders into Switzerland and Italy. The high-altitude French, Italian and Swiss Alps are famous for their skiing in winter and the climbing, trekking, mountain biking and adventure activities in the warmer months.
