Power Hiking Paris

Welcome to Power Hiking Paris, registered law 1901 not-for-profit Hiking Organisation*, member of the French Hiking Federation (FFRP**) and a beneficiary of a Tourism License***. 
Established from scratch in 2015, we proudly serve the Hiking Community ever since. 
We are a friendly group of international hikers living in the Paris area. We use mostly English as our official communication language. We walk an average of 20-30km, every WE, in Ile de France at a brisk pace (4.5 to 7 km/h).
Our walks are graded as below :
• Newcomers (4.5 -5.5 km/h)
• Regular (5.5 - 6.5 km/h)
• Challenging (6 -7 km/h)
You need to be fit enough if you want to take part (otherwise you might not be able to keep up). BEAR IN MIND THAT POWER HIKING IS A WORKOUT ACTIVITY (NOT SIGHTSEEING) AND THEREFORE NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
All our hikes are led by home trained and volunteers international hike leaders (we don't get paid).
We are not professionals, we don't do it for a living, but we try to organise our events as good as professionals (with a legal structure, clear rules, an insurance policy to protect everybody, a proper training ...). eg: we are the only hiking group allowed to organise legally big hiking trips in France and abroad because we own a Tourism licence.
We are committed to our members so we are not all about blathering on quality of our activities and doing very little but we actually walk the talk, even during the Covid pandemic.
Since our first day of operation in 2015, we have organised 1000+ events comprising Day hikes (several hikes available each WE), WE aways  and Hiking Adventures  in other France's neighbourhood or abroad (Vietnam, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan ...) . 
Thousand of hikers have walked and traveled with us, with a high level of satisfaction. The proof is that they are coming back over and over again :-) .... No wonder why Power Hiking Paris has become, over time, the most successful, the most active Hiking Group on MeetUp in the Paris Region.
Last but not least, this community is also about building bonds of friendship between the members. Respectfulness, Courteousness and Friendliness are our core values. Commitment and Sense of responsibility are our core principles.
