About us
Altitude Adventure holidays are based at our family home and guest chalet, “Mouli del Riu” in the hamlet of Le Mouli, on the edge of the village of Saint Pierre dels Forcats. “Mouli del Riu” is owned and run by your hosts Ian and Angela Pendry, assisted (?) by their two children Ella 8 and Shawna 6.
Your hosts were previously based in the Derbyshire Peak District and have taken on the challenge of running a small family operated holiday business, specialising in outdoor activities. Quality biking/skiing time and having fun is what this business is all about.
Angela Pendry - with a degree in Recreation, leisure and tourism management she appreciates the importance of enjoying your holiday with like-minded friends or as a trip with the kids.
Bringing many years of outdoor pursuits experience to the company, she loves riding the local trials, would ride the roads too if only there weren't so many new off road trails to explore. When she's not riding the trials she's busy baking endless supplies of cakes and puddings... She holds the OTC Mountain Bike Leader Award and has a previous successful background of international cross-country mountain bike racing and orienteering.
In winter she enjoys the pistes, loves the 'off-piste' and fits in some ski-mountaineering or cross country ski-ing when time allows. She also keeps an eye on the junior team Pendry skiers...catch them if you can!
Ian Pendry - well known for his ‘go for it’ attitude and a background in extreme sports of all kinds, from surfing to rock climbing. An OTC qualified Mountain Bike Guide, a qualified Mountain Leader and a degree in Recreation, Leisure and Tourism management, he knows how to get the most out of an outdoor sports holiday.
After 12 years of working in sales and product development for Scott Sports (including racing for and managing the Scott Mountain bike Race team) he felt it was time to have a new base and help others enjoy themselves in the arena he loves.
For the winter season our aim is to provide an easy going base for classic ski chalet style holidays or a base for the more adventurous to explore from.
During the summer season we will use our local knowledge of the trails and roads to offer classic mountain biking and road biking to all-comers.
As enthusiastic all-round outdoor people we will be able to advise you and point you in the direction of many other mountain activities available in our area.
