Walking Holidays in the Alps by Alpine Exploratory


Our Alpine walking holidays stretch from the Mont Blanc massif in the West to the Julian Alps, the fabulously rocky and colourful hills of Slovenia, in the South East. Across 5 countries, we are bringing you the finest trails, all spectacular and unique in their own right.

Our 2026 season in the Alps runs from 1 July to 17 September 2026 for the Tour du Mont Blanc and some others, with a later start of 15 July for our higher routes. All of our trips are possible on a self-guided and private guided basis. We also offer scheduled guided trips which depart on set dates.
