French Pyrenees holidays
Tours & holidays in 2019 & 2020

Memorable parts? Skiing through forests on almost empty groomed trails with views of snowy mountains through the trees. Tips? Bolquere is a rural village with no ATMs and only one shop! Wonderful! Local benefits? Definitely yes. We stayed in a traditional hotel that has been run by the same family for several generations and ate local food. We used the local shop for extra things and travelled by public / local transport. Our skiing each day took us along tracks dependent... (more)Madeline Russell

Thoroughly enjoyable...the absolutely awesome views of mountains covered with patchy snow, lakes of glacial water so still the reflection of the landscape clearly visible; thundering waterfalls cascading down the cliff sides... (more)Carol Ferris

Great walks, good company and food. Was well looked after - important as a solo traveller (more)Rosemary Ruddell

The scenery was very varied and magnificent, at night there was a blanket of stars and the food was very good. Rob led the trek and is a qualified and experienced mountain guide with an extensive knowledge of geology and natural history (the same applies to Emma) which he shared with us. (more)Jenny Lunn

Every activity was great - extremely challenging but with great guides who helped us all to succeed (more)Kathy Halliday

I particularly loved our mountain walk, with spectacular views and carpets of Pyrenean irises, and I think one of the highlights for all of us was swimming in a beautiful mountain lake. (more)Trisha Cochrane

Memorable parts? Making tracks in perfect powder under blue sky, skiing from summit to valley bottom feeling like you are the only ones on the mountain. Ok, then the snow suddenly changes as you go from sun to shade and you fall over in an inelegant heap, get back up and carry on with a smile on your face...... Tips? If you can, try to put a group of at least four together and pay a little extra so that you can have a guide just for your party as we did. We asked for a guide who spoke...
