Hello from the Savoie department of France! Last month the Pieton Market Tours team was in the French Alps on our June 2026 Randonee en Montagne Small Group Tour. We diligently lead a group of 10 earnest travelers through Alpine villages on what turned out to be a quest for the best scenery, (and cheese) in the world!

A Market Moment: Chamonix in full swing

We think about Chamonix as a world class ski area. But summer here is really what its about. The weekly Saturday market buzzes with enthousiasm as outdoorsy types mix with local shoppers!

Become a traveler with Piéton Market Tours and you could be staying with us here next summer!

Part of what makes traveling with Piéton Market Tours a bit different is the luxury accommodations our guests experience! We stay the entire week in one beautiful house (this week its a mountain Chalet), so forget the shuttling around from hotel to hotel. All of our accommodations have large en suite bedrooms. We want you to feel right at home!

Check out the view from here! Here are a few of our favorite moments from a great trip!

Come with us in 2027!

We are doing it all again next June! Our Randonnee en Montagne 2027 trip from June 18th - 26th, 2027 is booking quickly, but we have a few places still available! Please click the link below to reserve your spots on this amazing culinary adventure in the French Alps!
