Mountain biking Holidays
Mountain biking in France is joy. The French have a
multitude of paths criss-crossing all over the countryside, they are well
maintained and the great thing for us is that they can be used by mountain
bikes without facing the wrath of walkers.
Our base in the Pyrenees is surrounded by some of the best
off road biking trails in the world. The variety of trails is also
astounding enabling us to offer holidays at different levels from the same
base. Our centre based week is aimed a people
who enjoy biking and want to take on some single track, while our
weekend
trip is for people who are short of time, love single track and want
to make the most of the descents.
Every year we run a special trip incorporating a couple of
days supporting the Tour de France with some
quality mountain biking. We also run a point to point holiday traversing
the volcanic heartland of France taking on a mix of
trails as we go.
Most of our cycling holidays are one week long, but if you prefer to take
a longer vacation then you can combine two trips back to back and we will
offer you a £100 discount.
Marmot Tours and staff have
10 years of experience in organising and
running successful mountain biking holidays. We know what makes a good
holiday and understand the needs of our clients. Our attention to detail
ensures that you will have the best possible holiday. We have many clients who come back every year, which speaks volumes! Please
visit our holiday philosophy
or customer feedback pages for further
information.
Below we have given you a quick summary of our roadie
trips. The holidays are listed in approximate order of toughness (easiest
first). Please click on the title to link to the full holiday notes.
Please note that this month (Jan 09) we have been forced to
review our trip prices due to the unfavourable exchange rate between the
sterling and euro. We have therefore had to add a small amount
to some of our trips to cover the losses we are incurring with our income
being in sterling and our expenditure in Euros. We are hoping that
these minor price increases will soon be able to be reversed when more
favourable exchange conditions emerge. Obviously prices will not be
changing for those who have already booked with us. Thankyou for
your understanding.
