These photographs were taken on the Marmot Tours Ltd 'Nordic Highlights of the Pyrenees holiday'. During this holiday we tour 5 of the best XC ski stations in the French Pyrenees, opening up 360km of prepared tracks (loipes). During the week holiday we stay in two different hotels, one in the spar town of Ax-les Thermes and the other in the cosmopolitan resort of Font Romeau.  Each day our private transport takes us to the X-C ski area. During the weeklong cross-country skiing holiday we ski at Chioula, Beille, Capcir, Font Romeau and Pyrenees 2000.  This holiday is aimed at skiers who know how to ski and want to travel some distance on prepared trails.  Quality ski equipment (NNN) can be hired locally for both the classic cross-country skiing and skating (alternative) cross country skiing techniques.
