Mountain biking holidays | Ski holidays Pyrenees

Welcome to Altitude Adventure holidays, we are the specialists in skiing and mountain biking holidays in the Pyrenees.

We like to think that a skiing or mountain biking holiday in the Pyrenees is something a bit special, and so do many others who have discovered the Pyrenees Orientales. To quote a couple of independent reviews of our area-

"Little Spots that Rock" by Document Snowboard. Jonny Richards reports on Font Romeu and the Neiges Catalanes area... "If you're bored of queues, bend-over prices and hellish transfer demands of the French Alps, this historic area might just be the answer". "The friendly helpful locals are the antithesis of their alpine compatriots". "This resort encapsulates all that is good about the Pyrenees, with deserted pistes, more sunshine than any other French ski Destination (over 3000 hrs last season) and a town centre packed with more old school charm than Nigel Havers. In tweed."

"High Life in the Pyrenees" by MBR Magazine. Danny Milner reports after an April biking visit to us...." I'm guided along alpine singletrack beneath limestone bluffs the spitting image if the Dolomites or the Canadian Rockies, along precipitious terraces overhung by ochre rock formations that resemble parts of Colorado, and through pine forests scattered with huge granite boulders that remind me of Lake Tahoe. It's like a journey through the world's best singletrack, condensed into a 25km radius."

So if you fancy something a bit special.... Summer or Winter we go a long way to ensure that you get the best out of this amazing area.
