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.
Below we have given you a quick summary of our walking trips. The
holidays are listed in approximate order of toughness of the basic route
(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.
