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. For a moderate to challenging holiday, new to 2010 is
our Walking in the Eastern Pyrenees itinerary, run
in conjunction with Exodus Travels. The Grade C departures are ideal
if you like tougher walking in the high
mountains, or the Grade B dates perfect for those enjoying a good day out
but on more defined paths and with less extensive sections of up!
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.
