Our operator in the Pyrenees has implemented a “green code of practice”, using recycled paper for all information packs, promoting local shops and restaurants and monitoring the CO2 emissions. They have also chosen a family run hotel for our accommodation. The Hotel Le Terminus’ restaurant uses organic and locally sourced ingredients, thus reducing the need for imported items and allowing clients to support local farming businesses.
The walks in the Pyrenees are run in a way that fully respects the environment and limits any negative effects that our groups may have, by ensuring we leave no litter and limit any impact on local flora and fauna.
Ax-les-Thermes is easily accessible by train; something actively promoted by our local operator. Daily trains take you direct from Paris to your hotel door in comfort and with ease, avoiding the need to travel to an airport and wait for checked-in luggage. A perfect way for you too to reduce your carbon footprint!
At our offices we have worked to reduce our carbon footprint through a reduction of energy use and energy conservation measures. We also actively try to reduce the waste produced by having active reduction and recycling policies in place. We run annual staff workshops on Responsible Tourism.
Global warming is a reality and to help you make a difference by reducing the carbon dioxide that is produced when you travel we offer a chance to carbon balance your flights. We encourage all our clients to do this and do so for all our staff travel. Go on do your bit!

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
