Why choose Bavaria for your next active holidays ?

Bavaria offers a unique combination of accessible yet challenging landscapes, making it a premier destination for active travelers. The region is home to a vast network of well-marked trails that meander through pristine national parks, past crystal-clear lakes, and into charming villages with frescoed houses. It's a place where you can experience the full grandeur of the mountains while enjoying the comfort and hospitality of traditional mountain huts and inns. This blend of wild nature and rich culture provides a hiking experience that is both invigorating and deeply restorative.

Our adventures in the Bavarian Alps

Our itineraries are designed to showcase the very best of the region, focusing on immersive journeys that connect you with the landscape. From peaceful strolls to demanding alpine crossings, our trips cater to various fitness levels and interests.

A legendary trek: Crossing the Alps from Munich to Venice

For those dreaming of an epic journey, our Munich to Venice trek is a true rite of passage. This legendary route begins in the heart of the Bavarian capital and traverses three countries (Germany, Austria, and Italy). You will cross majestic mountain ranges, from the Bavarian Alps to the Dolomites, on a path that reveals the incredible diversity of alpine ecosystems and cultures. It's a challenging and rewarding adventure that has rightfully earned its place among the hardest hikes in Europe.

Self-guided and guided options

At Grand Angle, we believe in offering trips that match your travel style. Our self-guided tours in Europe provide you with detailed maps, route notes, and pre-booked accommodations, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace. If you prefer the expertise and company of a local expert, our guided tours in Europe offer a group setting led by a passionate and knowledgeable guide, who will enrich your journey with insights into the local flora, fauna, and history.

Practical advice for your trip to Bavaria

When is the best time to go?

The ideal season for hiking in Germany and Bavaria is from late spring to early autumn. The months of June, July, and August offer warm weather and long days, perfect for high-altitude treks. For those who prefer cooler temperatures and quieter trails, hiking in September provides a beautiful alternative, with the added bonus of vibrant autumn colors beginning to appear in the valleys.

Explore other alpine destinations and activities

If the call of the mountains resonates with you, you may also be drawn to our other Alps hiking tours. The landscapes of Bavaria share a common alpine heritage with neighboring regions, each offering a unique flavor. Consider exploring the scenic trails with our Austria hiking tours, tackling the iconic peaks of the Dolomites hiking tours, or discovering the charm of the French Alps. For those who enjoy two wheels, Bavaria's neighbor also offers fantastic cycling routes, as seen in our bicycle tours in Germany.

Pleasant itinerary combining nature, cultural interest and city crossings. Little or no traffic from cars, trucks or camping cars. Water all along the route (river, lake, waterfalls, canals). Stages correctly sized to allow for rest periods. No major difficulties or changes in altitude requiring intensive training.

A trip combining tourism and sports, crossing three countries, was a wonderful experience, thanks also to Juliette, our guide. A group spirit emerged, extending the feeling beyond the trek itself.
