How fit do I need to be?

This trip is best suited for hikers with a good level of fitness who are comfortable being active for several hours a day. Expect hiking up to 15 km (9 mi) & 4 to 6 hours per day, with up to 600 m (2,000 ft) of elevation gain . On most days, you’ll be walking 2 to 4.5 hours , with 180–430 m (590–1,410 ft) of ascent and 180–630 m (590–2,065 ft) of descent . Trails are non-technical, ranging from easy coastal paths to moderately challenging sections on uneven terrain. Weather can play a role here : on days with strong winds or rough seas, coastal routes (especially around the Giens Peninsula) may be adjusted for safety. If you’re joining a self-guided tour, you’ll be navigating independently using GPX files so some basic experience reading trails is helpful—nothing technical, but comfort with self-navigation makes the days smoother.

Book a call

Most people experience the French Riviera from the beach. We take to the trails.

Two full island days on Porquerolles and Port-Cros—some of the most protected land in France—make this trip unlike anything else on the coast!

Adventure Highlights

Coastal France at its best: Hike along cliffs, through pine forests, and down to hidden coves on some of the most scenic trails on the French Riviera
Golden Islands escape: Explore Porquerolles and Port-Cros, protected Mediterranean islands with wild landscapes, clear waters, and far fewer crowds
Guided or self-guided?: Choose between a fully guided version with a local expert leading every step, or go self-guided with GPX files, luggage transfers, and support on call—same trails, same hotels

This 7-day guided hiking journey follows the quieter edge of the French Riviera, where the coastline feels far removed from its glossy reputation. Each day brings a new stretch of trail, from cliffside paths and shaded pine forests to island crossings and hidden coves only reachable on foot. The pace is steady and immersive, with time to swim, pause, and take it all in. With all meals, luggage transfers, and carefully chosen 4-star stays arranged in advance, the experience stays simple, letting the landscape and the rhythm of walking lead the way.

After landing in Nice or Marseille Airport, you’ll be picked up and transferred to the hilltop village of Bormes-les-Mimosas, our base for the next couple of nights.

This 7-day self-guided hiking tour traces the quieter edge of the French Riviera, moving between the medieval village of Bormes-les-Mimosas and the protected Golden Islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros.

Nights are spent in 4-star hotels chosen for their location and comfort, and all breakfasts are included. Boat crossings to both islands, two private transfers on Day 3, a digital travel pack with GPX files, and telephone support are all taken care of—everything you need to navigate the route independently, without the planning.

Lodging & food

4-star hotels

Accommodation on this trip keeps things easy, comfortable, and well-placed. In Bormes-les-Mimosas, you stay at the 4-star Eden Rose Grand Hôtel, set just above the coastline with sea views, a pool, and a relaxed Mediterranean feel.

For the rest of the trip, you move to the Giens Peninsula and settle into the 4-star Le Provençal, right by the water, where coastal views and breezy surroundings make it easy to unwind after a day on the trail. Both stays are chosen for their location and comfort, giving us the right balance between active days and laid-back evenings.

Food

If joining a guided tour, all meals are included. Days on the trail are fueled with fresh picnic lunches enjoyed in scenic spots, while mornings begin with generous hotel breakfasts.

Evenings bring relaxed dinners at the hotels or nearby restaurants, often featuring local Mediterranean flavors and regional specialties. It’s a simple rhythm of walk, eat well, and repeat, with no planning needed along the way.

Note that if you’re doing a self-guided tour, only breakfasts are included.
