Welcome to Walk Weekender - your chance to enjoy a short-break alpine walking weekend holiday in the mountains of the beautiful French Alps in either summer or winter. From our chalet base near La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand we have walking holidays and weekends to suit individuals, couples or groups of family or friends.
The Aravis mountains are a stunning walking tour destination with miles of dedicated walking tracks through pine forests and alpine meadows, running next to tumbling mountain streams and scaling the highest of the majestic alpine mountain peaks. With numerous varieties of mountain flowers, shy mountain deer and stunning sunsets there really is plenty to take in whilst out walking, not to mention the sweeping views over the Haute Savoie mountains and valleys. The Aravis mountain resorts of La Clusaz and Grand Bornand are the perfect French walking holiday destinations, with the medieval lakeside town of Annecy just half an hour away!

Walk Weekender breaks are not the only summer holidays run by Karibuni, who also offer a wide range of tours both in France and the UK. Bike Weekender offers another opportunity to explore the Alps on two wheels, or our Alpine Activity breaks for groups provide a more varied yet active weekend away in the French Alps. In addition we have a self-catered chalet too for those who may like to come and spend a week's holiday relaxing, walking in the mountains and exploring the area on a more independent basis.
If you prefer the mountains in Winter then why not come for a snow shoe winter walking holiday or alternatively have a look at Karibuni's dedicated short break skiing website - Ski Weekender - or the Karibuni website itself which offers weeklong ski and snowboard holidays as well as various self-catered chalet, appartment or hotel-stay skiing options and airport transfers within the region.
