Winter Holidays in the Pyrenees
The Pyrenean winters are fantastic. Due to altitude we have a reliable snowfall while the proximity to the Mediterranean baths us in sunshine. Sun and snow - the perfect recipe for a great winter holiday.
Most of our winter 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 snowshoeing and 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.
Snowshoe walking holidays
If you enjoy walking in the summer then you will 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 center 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 them we run a weekend holiday in the Pyrenees.
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 trip based 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 Highlights holiday would take some beating. If you are short of time them we run a 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.
