Winter Holidays in the Pyrenees
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 some week long trips and for a longer vacation, 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 cross-country skiing 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.
Cross-country skiing holidays
The Eastern Pyrenees is ideal for 'on track' cross-country skiing. Our dedicated ski areas are well marked and the pistes lovingly prepared by modern equipment. The mountain views from the fine restaurants are also worth a mention! If you are new to cross-country skiing or have had several weeks experience then our centre based trip in Ax-les-Thermes would be ideal. James is a cross-country ski instructor so will get you started or fine tune your technique. If you are an experienced skier and want to travel some distance in a wide range of scenery then our Nordic Skiing Highlights holiday would take some beating. If you are short of time and want a early season fix them we run a pre-christmas weekend holiday. If you enjoy competing in ski marathons or are a fit beginner looking for a challenge then consider coming on our Transpyrenneen holiday. We even run a Learn to Skate Holiday for those wanting to take up this fantastic sport.
