Why explore Europe with Grand Angle?

For over 40 years, Grand Angle has been designing active trips across Europe. Our on-the-ground expertise allows us to create authentic itineraries that reveal the cultural and natural treasures of each destination. Whether you dream of a solo adventure or a shared experience, our trips are designed to offer you serenity and discovery. We handle the logistics (accommodation, luggage transport, detailed itineraries) so you can focus on what truly matters: the pleasure of hiking or cycling.

Active holidays: hiking or cycling?

Europe on foot

To discover Europe on foot is to take the time to connect with its deepest nature. Our Europe hiking tours take you through iconic landscapes, from the legendary paths of the Tour du Mont Blanc to the spectacular limestone formations of the Dolomites. Imagine yourself traversing the ancient trails of Greece or exploring the wild heart of the Italian mountains. Each itinerary is a promise of authentic immersion in breathtaking scenery.

Europe by bike

Cycling allows you to cover greater distances while remaining intimately connected to the landscapes. Our self guided bike tours in Europe are designed for all levels. Follow the rhythm of the water along the famous Danube bike tour, explore the vineyard-covered hills of Tuscany, or ride through the charming villages of France. Each pedal stroke is a new discovery.

Bike & Boat

Combine the pleasures of navigation and cycling with our bike and barge tours. This unique formula allows you to explore a region from its rivers and canals, with daily cycling excursions. Unpack your bags once and let yourself be carried away, like on our Holland bike and barge tours, where you can discover windmills and tulip fields from a new angle.

For another way to explore the Mediterranean, our comparison of hiking and sailing in Corsica looks at coastal trails, life on board and the experience needed for each.

Our flagship destinations

France: A mosaic of landscapes

As our home base, France adventure tours hold a special place in our hearts. From the high peaks of the French Alps to the wild coastline of Brittany, the diversity is astounding. Cycle along the Atlantic on the Vélodyssée, or discover the royal castles of the Loire Valley by bike for a journey through history and nature.

Italy: between alpine peaks and Dolce Vita

Adventure travel in Italy offers a striking contrast between the alpine challenge and Mediterranean mildness. For seasoned hikers, the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites is a must-do. For a gentler experience, the colorful villages of the Cinque Terre offer coastal hikes with unforgettable views.

Greece: Island hopping in the Aegean Sea

An adventure trip in Greece is an experience filled with light and history. Our hiking trips in the Cyclades allow you to hop from island to island, discovering whitewashed villages and ancient paths. For a complete immersion in mythology and wild nature, a hiking tour in Crete reveals a rich and preserved backcountry.

Practical advice for your european adventure

When is the best time to Go in Europe?

Europe can be explored year-round, but each season has its charms. Spring is ideal for seeing the flora in bloom, making it perfect for hiking in spring. For cycling enthusiasts, the mild temperatures and warm colors of autumn offer excellent conditions for cycling in autumn. Southern destinations like Greece or Italy are particularly pleasant in September and October, away from the summer crowds.

Choosing your trip: self-guided or guided?

The choice is yours. Our self-guided tours in Europe offer you maximum flexibility to travel at your own pace, with friends or family, while benefiting from our flawless logistics. If you prefer to rely on an expert and enjoy the dynamics of a group, our guided tours in Europe are led by passionate professionals who will share their knowledge of the region with you.

How to prepare for your trip?

François 6/23/26 • Madeira: Hiking in an Extraordinary Garden

— Very interesting itineraries that often take you along less-traveled trails. Transportation and hotels were impeccable. A few inconsistencies between the app and the roadbook. The map showing how to get to Portela from Porto da Cruz is missing. Overall, we’re thrilled with this trip!

Thank you very much for your feedback! We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you also for your comments on the roadbook and the app—we'll look into them to improve our materials. We look forward to accompanying you on your next trip!

Leigh Ann 7/18/26 • Tour du Mont Blanc - Guided 10-Day

— This was one of the best trips of my life!! Physically, the hiking was challenging, but doable, which was what my party was looking for. Every minute of the day, the views were SPECTACULAR!!! Literally breathtaking. Our guide took great care of us and we LOVED our 3 course meals every night in the different, fascinating cities. We also met so many fun and friendly people on the Tour. Loved it all❤️

Lorrae 7/12/26 • Tour du Mont Blanc - Classic 8-Day

— Scenery was out of this world. The ascents were hard but it meant you could stop and take it all in, take your time and appreciate just what you are achieving.
