Marmot Tours :: Holiday summaries :: Winter snowshoeing holiday and cross-country skiing holidays in France 2008 / 2009

Spa resort of Ax les Thermes in Ariege Pyrenees , France

The Pyrenean winters are fantastic. Due to the altitude we have a reliable snowfall while the proximity to the Mediterranean bathes us in sunshine. Sun and snow - the perfect recipe for a great winter holiday.

We have tried to suit most peoples needs by offering a variety of trips of different lengths: we know that some people have only limited annual leave, or have their main holiday in the summer, so if that is you, check out our minibreaks. For those who want a week away to unwind completely, then we have week long options or for 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 organizing and running successful snowshoeing holidays around the world and in the Pyrenees. We know what makes a good holiday and understand the requirements of our clients. Our attention to detail ensures that you will have the best possible holiday. We have a large number of clients who come back every year - which speaks volumes! Please visit our holiday philosophy or customer feedback pages for further information.

Snowshoeing

If you enjoy the mountains in summer then you are bound to love snowshoeing. The snowshoes enable us to access the hidden parts of the mountains, walk along ridges, across frozen lakes or through forests of snow laden trees. We offer a centre based holiday in the Pyrenees suitable for all and a more challenging snowshoeing expedition where we head into the heart of the he mountain and stay in mountain refuges. If you are short of time or fancy just trying an 'introduction' to snowshoeing, then one of minibreaks could be the thing for you!
