Why travel with Grand Angle?
Grand Angle, a small adventure travel agency since 1983
Based in Méaudre, in the heart of the Vercors, Grand Angle has been designing guided hiking trips and cycling vacations in France and across Europe since 1983.
Our experts scout the routes on the ground, notably in the Alps, the Dolomites, the Vercors and the Cyclades. They choose the stages, the accommodation and the local partners behind every trip.
You can join a small-group guided tour, travel at your own pace on a self-guided trip with its roadbook and GPS tracks, or build a tailor-made trip with an advisor.
Twenty-four people behind your trip

Reviews from our travelers
Reviews posted after the trip, with photos from the people who wrote them.
"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!"
Based on 738 reviews verified after the trip
"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❤️"

Tour du Mont Blanc - Guided 10-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."

Frequently asked questions about our trips
These five questions come up most often on the phone and in the chat.
For anything else, ask our assistant: it answers right away and hands over to an advisor when you need a human.
Guided or self-guided: which one is right for me?
On a guided tour, a certified English-speaking guide leads a small group: you have no decisions to make and you travel with like-minded people. On a self-guided trip, you choose your dates and your travel companions. We book every stage and provide the roadbook with GPS tracks, and your luggage is waiting for you at the next stop. More on how it works: explore self-guided trips
Who takes care of accommodation and luggage?
We do. We choose each accommodation one by one, book it and visit it again. On our self-guided trips, your luggage is transferred from one stage to the next while you walk with a simple daypack. What is included is stated clearly on each trip page, including luggage transfers when they are part of the trip.
How does payment work?
If you book more than 60 days before departure, you pay a 30% deposit (60% for cruises and trips with boat accommodation), then the balance no later than 60 days before departure. Within 60 days of departure, the full price is due when you book. Credit cards accepted: Visa and Mastercard (not Amex). All the details are in our conditions of sale.
I'm traveling solo: does that work?
Yes, and it's common. A guided tour is a small group: you sign up alone and you hike in company. A self-guided trip also works very well solo: let us know and we will adapt the accommodation. Explore our guided tours.
What fitness level do I need?
Every trip is rated from 1 to 5. The rating reflects daily walking hours and elevation gain, and the type of terrain counts too. The catalog includes trips suited to anyone who walks regularly for a few hours at a time. The rating on each trip explains what each level means. If in doubt, an advisor will help you decide in a two-minute call.
