Pyrenees Walking Holidays

We offer the full range of walking holidays from relaxed to demanding. If you like to walk at a more leisurely pace and incorporate a bit of sightseeing and history, then  our tour of the Cathar country or spring flowers of the Pyrenees trips may be of interest. If you like tougher walking and scrambling in the high mountains then you will love our center based Pyrenees peak bagging holiday, which has two different levels of difficulty.  If you prefer to stay in the comfortable mountain refuges then our Peaks and Ridges of the Pyrenees holiday would be the ideal choice.

Most of our walking holidays in the Pyrenees 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 organizing and running successful walking holidays in the Pyrenees and worldwide. 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.
