Overview

Burgundy is one of Europe's most rewarding regions for walkers and wine connoisseurs alike. The Chemin des Grands Crus threads through UNESCO-listed vineyards, connecting  villages like Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, each one steeped in centuries of winemaking tradition. Chapels, châteaux and glazed-roof villages appear between the vines at every turn. The Morvan Regional Natural Park offers forested ridges and glacial lakes as a striking counterpoint to the gentler valley walking. Stroll's Burgundy walking holidays reveal a region that is as wonderful on the palate as it is on foot.

More About This Destination

The temperature in Burgundy changes dramatically depending on the season. Spring to Autumn are the best times to visit Burgundy. Winter can be terrible in Croatia.

The weather becomes much more pleasant as soon as spring hits. In April, the temperatures can rise to 18°C during the day.

Summer draws the big crowds, which is not a surprise given the fantastic weather.

Your main piece of luggage will be transported for you each day as you walk, so when you arrive at your accommodation, it will be there waiting for you. You will only have to carry a light day pack with your essentials.

As with any journey, it is essential to be prepared for your self-guided walking holiday. While we will be transporting your luggage between accommodations, you will still be carrying a lightweight day pack with you. Here is what we suggest that you take with you each day:

  • Walking notes, map and a map case
  • Picnic lunch packed in an insulated container (when supplied)
  • Quality waterproof jacket with a hood
  • Warm jumper or jacket
  • Sunhat/Rainhat
  • Comfortable walking shoes or boots
  • Waterproof backpack cover
  • Sunscreen (at least 15 SPF+)
  • 1 to 2 litres of water
  • First aid kit
  • Toilet paper
  • Some money
  • Mobile phone (please note that reception is not available in all walk areas)
  • Personal insect repellent, band-aids, and a small container of salt mixed with rice grains
  • Personal necessities (example: required medication)

Now that we have the essentials packed, it is time to think of any additional items that may be worth taking along with you. These items may include but are not limited to:

  • Waterproof over-trousers
  • Warm hat
  • Extra socks
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera (with a spare battery or SIM cards)
  • Binoculars
  • Notebook and pen
  • Matches
  • Small torch
  • Walking stick / walking poles
  • Additional snacks

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office and have a chat with our friendly team. We will happily advise you on what types of clothing, backpacks, boots, and other materials you may need for your walking holiday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about walking in Burgundy with Stroll.

Mobile reception is limited on some of the more remote walking tracks in Burgundy. Stroll provides a walking app with GPX files that can be downloaded and viewed offline, making navigation straightforward even without reception. A digital roadbook with detailed hiking itineraries and integrated maps is also provided before departure.

Your main luggage is transferred between accommodations each day, so you only need to carry a daypack on the trail. One bag per person is included in the transfer service, with a maximum weight of 20kg. Leave your clearly labelled bag at reception on check-out and it will be waiting for you at your next accommodation.

Two optional extras are worth planning ahead for. The Château Clos de Vougeot tour is available Tuesday to Sunday between April and October, and Thursday to Sunday in March and November. The Château de Meursault wine tour is available daily between October and April with a midday closure, and Wednesday to Sunday mornings in March and November. Both can be pre-booked through our team.

mart casual attire is appropriate for evenings, particularly if dining at finer restaurants or attending wine tastings along the route. The region takes its food and wine seriously, and dressing accordingly adds to the experience.

Yes. Please advise us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking so we can inform your accommodation hosts and restaurants. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended. The local markets in Dijon and Beaune are also excellent spots to pick up produce and provisions along the way.

Yes. While credit cards are widely accepted at hotels and restaurants, smaller cafes, local markets and village shops may prefer cash. ATMs are readily available in both Dijon and Beaune. The currency throughout France is the Euro. Note that a small tourist tax is payable directly to your accommodation at checkout — the amount varies by property.

Key items include comfortable walking shoes suitable for moderate terrain, layers for changing conditions, sun protection for open vineyard walking and a 20 to 30 litre daypack for daily essentials. Smart casual clothing is recommended for evenings. French power outlets are Type E or C, so bring an appropriate adapter.
