Undiscovered Mountains is a small British owned company based in France offering guided and self-guided active vacations in the French Alps. They offer a wide variety of activities including food foraging, rafting, wolf tracking, sailing, snow sports, mountain biking, hiking and more. If there’s a unique activity available in the French Alps, this company can probably match you with a tour operator who provides it.
Review of Undiscovered Mountains
Undiscovered Mountain’s site has an embedded Google translate feature, which is nice. You can search by activity or season but beyond that there are no other filters. When choosing Walking Holidays, you’ll need to sort through about 18 listings and most are guided trips. We would love to be able to filter for self-guided only. Their itinerary details are excellent, providing all the important info (including daily elevation changes and full lodging details).
