Mountain Adventure Holidays
The Grande Traversée du Jura (or GTJ) is a fabulous journey over the Jura mountains crossing through France and parts of Switzerland. It is a journey made on classic cross country skis. This 142km (89 miles) long-distance ski trail was first completed in 1978 and is nearly all on prepared, pressed tracks.
Each day we aim to cover approximately 20-30km (12-19 miles) of track whilst carrying a small day pack. Each night we arrive at our hotel or gite to find our luggage waiting for us.
Our route starts in the Haut Joux, Switzerland and finishes at Giron in the Ain département crossing the Jura and the Haut-Jura regional nature reserves. The ski route with it's varied terrain and beautiful landscapes won't fail to impress you. The local people take immense pride in their local produce and culture - and this journey offers a taste of it all.
Sitting on the border of both France and Switzerland, the Jura, a limestone plateau, lies very close to Geneva. Steeped in history, geology and gastronomy it also has mountains that go on for miles, but unlike the jagged peaks of the Alps it's of the 'Nordic rolling' variety. Despite its popularity, it's not unusual to ski all day without seeing any other skiers.
The Jura's natural rolling terrain hosts France's longest cross country ski race - the Transjurassienne. In the summer nordic walking, roller skiing and Transju'trail race also feature on the events list.
Your guide will meet you this evening in the small Swiss town of St Croix. They will assist with organising any ski hire and brief you on the week ahead. The town has a bank, post office, sport shop and supermarket, useful for any last minute purchases.
We begin our Jura crossing by taking a short taxi transfer to the trail head at Les Fourgs, where we buy our GTJ ski pass. We have time to find our ski legs and get used to the equipment before leaving Les Fourgs. Our trail begins along gentle terrain then up through pine trees and across snow covered meadows to reach Les Hopitaux Neufs. From here, the ski trail continues to Metabief, a small ski town and our destination for the day. Due to limited accommodation here it is often necessary for our group to taxi to a neighbouring village for the night. Metabief is in France and has some shops including a pharmacy, bakers, supermarket, sports shop and an ATM.
Ascent: 230m (754ft) Descent: 350m (1148ft) Distance: 20km (12.5 miles)
Depending on the snow level we may take a short transfer to the trail head, or in good winter seasons we leave Metabief and directly rejoin the trail. Alternating through forests and clearings, used in summer as pastures for cattle, we join a network of trails where we climb to the plateau of the 'Mont d'Or' for fine views and a picnic lunch. The local cheese producers - called Fruitières - produce Comté, Morbier, Mont d’Or and Bleu de Gex and are all included as ‘appellation contrôlée’ designations for good wine and cheese. After lunch we enjoy skiing mainly downhill to Mouthe and La Source du Doubs (the river source). There is a sting in the tail today as a final climb takes us to our accommodation at the family run 'gîte' Chez Liadet for the night.
Ascent: 630m (2066ft) Descent: 500m (1640ft) Distance: 29km (18 miles)
The next three days of our journey take us in line with the race course of the world famous Transjurassienne ski race. The Transjurassienne is one of the most important cross-country ski events in France and is held in February each year. The course starts in Lamoura, and a variety of races traverse up to 76kms (47.5 miles) of hilly ski trails before the finish line in Mouthe. Thousands of skiers from across the world congregate to attempt the event which takes place over two days.
Our journey takes us into fabulous pine woods and past summer meadows linking us first to Pre Poncet for lunch. As we enter the Combe des Cives, the terrain angle eases for an enjoyable ski to a well earned cake stop and wood turners at the Chalet Anges. Another hour or so brings us to Chappelle des Bois and our accommodation for the night.
Ascent: 390m (1279ft) Descent: 370m (1213ft) Distance: 26.5km (16.5 miles)
Chapelle des Bois in the Haut Jura boasts first class ski trails, and we quite often pass practising race teams here. We take to the trails once more today and initially ski towards Bellefontaine before starting to climb into the Forêt Risoux - home to the famous wood needed to make the stradavarius violins. Once our main climb is complete, we can stop at the Chalet Gaillard for a hot drink before skiing the well pressed trails all the way to Les Rousses. We aim to finish a little earlier today so there will be time to visit the local town for souvenirs, ski equipment or tea and cake. Or for those with energy to spare there's 220km's (138 miles) of pressed ski trails to explore!
Ascent: 345m (1131ft) Descent 385m (1262ft) Distance: 17km (10.6 miles)
We leave Les Rousses and cross the meadows towards Premanon, the home to the French National Nordic Ski School and where several Olympic champions have come from. We enter the woods here to another popular ski location, often visited by many ski teams, the Forêt du Massacre. The forest houses some of the oldest fir trees in France and is named after an ancient battle in the area. Some first class skiing awaits, and on a clear day a view of the Alps. Our high point for the day is in the heart of the forest at chalet 'La Frasse', where we can enjoy a well earned coffee and cake stop before our rolling descent to the delightful village of La Joux. It is then only another 1.2km (0.7 miles) until we reach our overnight at the hamlet of Le Manon.
Ascent: 425m (1394ft) Descent: 340m (1115ft) Distance: 21km (13 miles)
Our final day, and one of the toughest to complete our 142km (89 miles) traverse. We leave Lajoux for the Bellecombe or 'beautiful bowl', which impressively lives up to its name. This open pasture winds it's way alongside the Haute Jura chain and limestone crest. We have plenty of opportunities for stops along the way, and after a series of ups and downs we reach a small gite for coffee and crepes just under the Cret au Merle at 1448m (4749ft). To complete this fantastic journey we make a gradual descent through the forest to the trail end at Giron, where a vin chaud and celebratory meal awaits!
Ascent: 665m (2181ft) Descent: 740m (2427ft) Distance: 28.5km (17.8 miles)
Giron is a village approximately 40 minutes drive away from Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, a mainline TGV train station, and 1 hour 15 minutes from Geneva Airport. We will arrange and include ONE group transfer from Giron to Geneva Airport via Bellegarde. We aim to leave our accommodation at 08h15 and arrive at Geneva airport for 09h45. To make use of this service please ensure onward flights correspond with this arrival time.
It is always our aim to complete the proposed itinerary outlined above, however, it may be necessary for our guides/instructors to adjust the daily itinerary based on the weather conditions, group safety and enjoyment.
We always aim to accommodate our guests in well-situated, clean, characterful, family run accommodation. In most cases we have known the management for many years, and it’s like visiting old friends. Our suggested accommodation, listed below, is subject to availability at the time of booking. We have given details of our favoured accommodation and those we intend to use. If unavailable we will book alternative accommodation of similar standard.
Please note that on this trip accommodation is a mixture of hotels and French-style gîtes. The Grand Traverse of the Jura passes through sparsely populated territory and accommodation choices, especially for groups, are very limited. Facilities at each overnight stop will vary. Rooms will be a mixture of twin-share with en-suite facilities in hotels and more basic non-segregated dormitory style accommodation in gîtes with shared bathrooms.
The term gîte originally meant quite simply a form of shelter, but today they are very comfortable and characterful accommodation. Technically, to be called a gîte, the owner must live close by in order to provide help, assistance, and a warm welcome to guests. Gîtes are generally old farmworkers' cottages or converted outbuildings and barns. Believe us, they are part of the adventure!
Our trip fees are based on two people sharing a room when in hotels. If you are travelling on your own your booking will be based on a twin bedroom sharing with someone of the same gender.
However, there may be the possibility of single rooms at some of our hotels for a supplementary fee. We recommend booking as early as possible to secure a single room as these are always limited in number. Please contact us for details.
We meet for our epic ski journey at the Hôtel de France, in the village of Sainte-Croix, which is actually in Switzerland. The hotel was established in 1725, and is situated right in the historic heart of the village, just a short walk from the train station. There are twenty-eight guest rooms in this 3* hotel.
A lakeside hotel tonight, in the small market town of Malbuisson. The owners run four hotels here; the Hotel Le Lac, Hotel Beau Site, Hotel de la Poste and Hotel Spa les Rives Sauvages and availability at the time of booking will depend on which of these we will stay in. All rooms are en suite, with modern facilities including wifi. Whilst staying at any of the hotels, and if time allows upon arrival, guests have access to the pool and spa at the Hotel Les Rives Sauvages for a fee of 25 Euros. Dinner will be eaten at a local restaurant La Fromagerie where we will enjoy a traditional meal, most likely cheese fondue or raclette.
We are either in the main building of the Hotel le Lac, or most likely we stay in one of the two accommodations adjacent. The accommodation is all owned by the Hotel le Lac, with the other two buildings known as the Beau Site and La Poste.
Chez Liadet is a traditional gîte which we think is a very special place. Ingrid and her family run the gîte and the children have great fun serving the tables at dinner. They are a lovely family of 5 who are all very friendly and welcoming. They all love to cross country ski so we get a sympathetic welcome. We adore staying here as it has so much character.
We are truly welcomed into their home for the night with a wood burning stove to dry your boots, the chance to sample local beer, wine and a great homemade Jurassienne meal. We usually have home-made soup, followed by the famous Mont d'Or cheese fondu and then home-made 'tarte au maison'.
Accommodation is in 'dortoirs' or dorms, and is usually on a non-segregated basis. On most occasions we manage to secure one large private dorm for our group.
It's a very simple, but also a memorable night in a gîte tucked away in the woods right beside the ski tracks.
Our night at Chez l'Aime is always a memorable one and usually voted the best night on the trip! We ski in and out directly to this simple, but incredibly homely gîte. We are perfectly positioned here for the following day as we are on the doorstep of the Foret de Massacre. 'Coco' our host has run the gite for as long as we can remember and no visit is complete without sampling his homemade grappa after a hearty meal in front of the wood burner!
Enjoy the sunset and sunrise the views across the lake and valley of 'Chappelle des Bois' from this truly 'nordic' in the Jura accommodation. Accommodation tonight is in 'dortoirs' or dorms, and is usually on a non-segregated basis. On most occasions we manage to secure one large private dorm for our group.
Tonight we arrive in the bustling village of Les Rousses. Our hotel in Les Rousses is run by Virginie who always gives us a warm welcome. There is a little bar area, and the dining room is traditional and rustic. Dinner will feature local dishes, and breakfast is buffet style. The rooms all have en suite facilities, and there is a ski locker for storing our skis.
Located at Le Manon just 1.2 km (0.7 miles) from the village of Lajoux in the Haute-Combes region the Maison des Inuits prides itself in being an 'eco-lodge' and for those wanting to be at the heart of nature it is run entirely on renewable energy. A sauna, cosy fireplace and living room await where we usually meet other like minded skiers on their ventures exploring the Haut Jura.
Accommodation is in 'dortoirs' or dorms, and is usually on a non-segregated basis. On most occasions we manage to secure one large private dorm for our group.
A 19th Century building steeped in history, Le Bellevue hotel is situated in the heart of Giron village. By 1990 the hotel was abandoned and in ruins before being lovingly restored by the owners in 2002. All the bedrooms are equipped with en suite facilities. It is a great place to spend our last evening.
Arrival
The Alps are easily reached from other European and worldwide destinations by road, rail, coach or plane. Our starting point is Saint-Croix in Switzerland and can be reached from Geneva or Basel Airport by transferring by train - please consult www.sbb.ch for timetables entering the destination as Ste-Croix, De France (Hotel) or Sainte-Croix, De France (Hotel). You will most likely have to change at Yverdon-les-Bains, and on occasions you might find that you are asked to depart Yverdon-les-Bains from Platform 3B, be aware that there is also a B3. The train journey from Geneva takes 1h 50mins. Advance booking is not necessary. Alternatively you may wish to travel entirely by rail in which case many high speed trains link via Besançon and out of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine.
Departure
On your departure day Giron is a village approximately 40 minutes drive away from Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, a mainline TGV train station, and 1h15 from Geneva Airport. We will arrange and include ONE group transfer from Giron to Geneva Airport via Bellegarde. We aim to leave our accommodation at 08h15 and arrive at Geneva airport for 09h45. To make use of this service please ensure onward flights correspond with this arrival time.
It is a condition of booking that you have appropriate insurance for your chosen activity, including emergency helicopter rescue, repatriation, medical costs, as well as trip cancellation/curtailment insurance in the event of you being unable to join/complete the trip.
Please read the relevant clauses which are numbered 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 22 and are set out in our Terms and Conditions.
We also recommend your insurance covers you for baggage loss/damage. Tracks and Trails Ltd are unable to accept responsibility for the loss or damage to any client equipment or luggage.
If you are booking on behalf of other people it is important that you ensure that insurance has been arranged by all others included in your Booking Form.
You should bring all insurance documentation with you at the time of the activity. If you fail to provide proof of insurance we reserve the right to ask you to leave the trip.
If you are joining a trip in the UK helicopter/mountain rescue insurance is not required as this is a free service.
For further details, please read the Insurance section on our website.
Winter mountain weather in the Jura can vary considerably, and in this respect it is no different to any mountain environment where the terrain influences the weather and it can change from valley to valley.
In winter the weather can deliver everything from clear blue skies, and glorious sunshine, to heavy snowfall and strong winds. Essentially, as with all mountain journeys, you should be prepared for any eventuality.
Temperatures vary depending on the month, generally December, January, and February are colder, but by March and April the temperatures are warming up and spring is on the way.
In December and January they can range from -10°Celsius (14°F) to 3°Celsius (37.4F), in February from -5°Celsius (23°F) to 7°Celsius (44.6°F), and in March from 0°Celsius (32°F) to 13°Celsius (55.4°F).
The above figures are a general indication only as the weather can vary considerably year on year for any given month.
We ski the Grand Traverse of the Jura at a time of year when the snow is normally at its most reliable. However, in the event of a poor winter season, the complete traverse may not be possible.
If this is the case we will still have a great ski week but will ski in different locations each day using a vehicle to transfer us along the lower sections. Please note that we do not charge extra if this means hiring a mini-bus, we prefer that you enjoy your holiday and that we ski the best areas possible.
Cross country skiing equipment, which in this case means 'fishscale' classic skis (not skates or waxables), Salomon boots or similar, bindings and poles, can be hired at the start of the traverse. The total ski hire for the week is approximately 150 Euros per person (this includes the cost of returning the equipment to the hire shop at the end of the trip). We ask that you make your payment directly to the guide in cash Euros.
All equipment hire must be arranged in advance, as it will be necessary to pre-order correct sizes. Please make note of your equipment hire on our Booking Form. We will need to know your height, weight, normal shoe size (you must give us your everyday shoe size and not your personal adjustment for wearing boots) and the measurement of your height up to your armpits for ski pole hire.
The guide will accompany clients to the hire shop and at the end of the traverse, will collect any hire equipment and organise its return.
The GTJ ski pass is approximately 45 Euros for the week.
Your safety while skiing is our top priority. All skiers are requested to adhere to the Code of Conduct published by the International Ski Federation, or FIS. The aim is to make you, the skier, aware of how to avoid risks, take responsibility and act thoughtfully while on the cross-country ski tracks.
When packing for a trip in the mountains it is important to have appropriate equipment and clothing. This kit list features items we believe are necessary for the weather you will encounter and accommodation you will be staying in.
Equipment
We use 'classic' style cross country track skis for this trip either ‘fishscales’ or ‘skintec’. You can choose to bring your own 'classic' track skis (non-metal edged), however, do check with us first to ensure they are suitable.
Skis, boots, and poles - can be hired at the start of the trip. The cost of hire is indicated in 'Trip Information'. If you are intending to hire you must inform us as soon as possible as equipment must be booked in advance. The type of ski supplied by the hire shop is provided in the 'Ski Rental' section of the Trip Information page. If in doubt about the suitability of your own skis please contact us.

On many of our trips there will be an element of 'group kit' which will be shared amongst our guests. As mountain people you will be used to team work and working together to the mutual benefit and safety of the group.
The 'group kit' will be minimal and usually just a case of sharing a few lightweight 'survival shelters'. For example on a week-long trip you may carry a small shelter for just one day before passing it on to the next person.
If you are booking a trip in winter there will be a few additional safety items. These will be distributed in such a way that no one is over burdened.
Other group items necessary for safety and comfort will be carried by your guide/instructor.
For each of our trips there is a minimum number of guests required to book before we can 'guarantee' your trip will run. It depends on the particular trip in question, but it is normally 4. The maximum number of guests on your trip is displayed in the 'At a Glance' box on the righthand side of the trip page.
We strongly advise you do not book travel until we have confirmed your trip is 'guaranteed' to run. If you book travel before we have confirmed it is 'guaranteed' we cannot be held responsible for any financial loss if the trip does not go ahead.
When booking a holiday as a solo traveller a twin bedded room comprising of two single beds, is booked as standard. This will be with someone of the same gender unless you request to pay extra for your own room. Single rooms are often limited in supply so if you would like to pay a supplement for a single room we urge you to get in touch as soon as possible. This trip has a single supplement of £320. Due to the nature of the accommodation on this trip a single room is not possible every night. Contact us if you would like details of how many nights are possible on your chosen dates.
We go to great lengths to work with first class guides and instructors who are passionate about their work. They are all fully qualified, insured, and hold the correct documentation.
Please note your guide/instructor has complete discretion to make a daily decision on whether or not to take the advertised route based on the weather and the ability of the members of the group. They have our authority to make any route changes they believe are necessary in the interests of safety and enjoyment.
For our walking, family, and snowshoeing trips your guide will be a fully qualified and experienced International Mountain Leader. For our running trips your guide will be an International Mountain Leader, and an experienced mountain 'trail runner'.
If you have booked on a cross country ski trip you will be with a fully qualified professional BASI Nordic Ski Instructor or equivalent. BASI is the British Association of Snowsport Instructors.
These holidays are designed for those who can confidently get on their skis and go! You should already have done multi-day journeys on cross-country skis and enjoy spending the day travelling from point to point while carrying a small daypack. We would expect you to be able to ski at a steady pace over a variety of terrain and snow conditions, including icy tracks when necessary. As a minimum we expect you to have good control of speed and direction, and have a very effective snowplough. You should be familiar with the colour coding system for trails, and be able to assure us you can ski ‘red’ tracks with confidence. On any point-to-point journey we can expect to deal with a variety of weather from heavy snowfall to strong winds, and for this reason we expect a degree of self-sufficiency in terms of keeping yourself warm, and dry. It is possible that these tours may encounter sections of 'untracked' snow or old prepared trails, therefore making the distance covered more strenuous. Further tuition will be given at these stages if required. You should be at a very good fitness level and be able to ski approximately 6-7 hours and cover 20–35 km (12.5-21.8 miles) per day.
On this point-to-point trip you will have luggage support which means your bags are transferred each day to the next accommodation and you only need to carry a small/medium sized 'rucksack' for items you might need during the course of the day. Please refer to the kit list for this trip for guidance on the size of rucksack required.
As your luggage will be moved along the route by taxi we ask that you keep the weight to a maximum of 15kgs (33lbs), and ONE bag per person. Many of the taxi companies who move your bags impose a 15kg (33lbs) limit and restrict the number of bags simply because they have to unload and reload the vehicle many times each day. If you take more than one bag you may be asked to pay a supplement. Also with regard to weight be aware that you may have to carry your luggage to your bedroom, which may involve climbing several flights of stairs as not all hotels have elevators. Luggage on wheels is generally a good idea.
An additional point to make is that there are some nights on this trip where you are in dormitory accommodation and there is little space in your shared room for large luggage bags; the smaller the better.
We do not include lunches in your trip fee for various reasons. We have found our guests have particular tastes and requirements for 'trail' or 'hill' food and it is better you choose and buy what you require. Buying supplies and trying local specialities is a great way to inter-act with the local people and to practise your language skills.
Lunches on our trips are 'picnic' style lunches, in other words you take a packed lunch with sufficient snacks, food and fluid to sustain you throughout your day of activity. If there is the possibility of lunch being taken at a restaurant/farm/cafe beside the trail, your guide/instructor will advise you of this.
Each evening you can choose to order a picnic or a sandwich from the hotel, or your guide/instructor will advise you of other options such as a local shop or market and whether you need to purchase items in the evening or if the shop/market is open early enough the next morning not to delay your start. In all cases we would always ask you to settle any 'bill' for lunch or drinks in the evening before you depart, and not on the morning of your last day when there may be a queue.
On your itinerary you will find an indication of the amount of ascent and descent you can expect each day. This offers a guideline to how much effort might be expended each day and allows you to decide, based on previous experience, if your fitness and stamina are correct for the trip.
We make every attempt to ensure these statistics are as accurate as possible, but ask you to note that the most modern of technology used to record these details can show considerable variations in terms of ascent, descent, and in particular distance. In other words no two people using GPS devices on the same route will have exactly the same details recorded at the end of the day.
The statistics given should be used as a 'general' indication of the effort required.
It is useful to arrive at your destination with some cash in the local currency, however, on most occasions it is relatively easy to visit a 'cash machine' after arrival and withdraw money on a credit or debit card. Some of our locations are an exception to this in particular Norway, where the accommodation will often have no facilities for withdrawing cash, but they will take a credit card.
On many of our trips we will visit remote cafes/farms where it is wonderful to enjoy a drink and a cake, at places such as these they will only accept payment in the local currency in cash.
Food
On our trips we encourage you to experience local tastes and dishes that reflect the culture of the country and for this reason many of our accommodation options will be family run with a reputation for the traditional food of the region.
If you have a 'special' diet because of an allergy or intolerance to a certain food type which will make you ill the accommodation will cater for this as best they can, eg gluten free, nut free, lactose free.
If you are vegetarian then this is not a problem as the hotels/refuges are used to being asked for vegetarian meals. Our accommodation will try to cater for those with vegan diets but in remote refuges in the mountains this is more difficult. If you would like to discuss the suitability of a trip for a vegan diet please contact us. Gluten-free diets will be possible with regard to the evening meals, but we would advise that you bring along some gluten-free snacks for your breakfasts and lunches.
If you have a 'special' diet which is NOT because of an allergy or intolerance, and is not 'veggie' then we apologise, but we cannot cater for this. The accommodation on the popular routes will be catering for many people each evening, in some cases up to 70/80 meals per night, 7 days a week, and realistically they cannot produce many different meal options unless the food will result in illness.
Water
The countries we visit all have tap water which is drinkable. If for any reason a particular hotel is having a problem with a remote mountain water supply they will normally post a sign over the tap indicating that you must not drink the water. At all times you are welcome to ask your guide/instructor if the water can be drunk. We would ask, for environmental reasons, that you avoid using single-use plastic bottles, and bring a water bottle that can be used repeatedly.
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required for visits to countries outside the EU, such as Norway. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice.
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/
Note that if your trip involves staying in a mountain refuge/rifugio/hut that electric sockets may be in short supply and for that night you may not be able to charge any items. Although the accommodation will have electricity this will often be supplied by solar panels or a generator and limited to use by the staff. For this reason we advise that carrying a small slimline and lightweight 'battery pack' can be very useful for recharging phones which many of you will also use as your camera.
Before booking consider whether you expect to be in the appropriate physical condition on the date of your departure to allow you to fully participate in and enjoy your holiday. If you have any doubts because of an illness or injury it would be advisable to check with your doctor.
For UK residents travelling to an EU country you should obtain and bring with you a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). This entitles you to state provided medical treatment in certain European countries, but is not a substitute for medical travel insurance. Also note that if/when the UK leaves the European Union that the EHIC card may no longer be valid. Please check this before departing. We advise that you always carry your insurance documents with details of the Emergency Medical telephone number for your insurance provider, and your policy number.
We feel strongly about protecting the environment and do not encourage the use of single-use plastic items. We would ask that you arrive with a ‘water bottle’ or ‘hydration system’ that can be used repeatedly. We would point out that we operate a ‘zero tolerance’ for rubbish, and would ask you to remove all your rubbish items from the mountain even those you consider to be bio-degradable. In particular we ask that you remove any toilet tissue.
You can read our full policy here.
Working across international boundaries, and with various currencies means that the price of our trips can change overnight. We have, however, undertaken to guarantee that once you have paid your deposit the price of your trip is fixed. In this respect we urge you to book early to ensure that you receive the price advertised on our website. The website price may increase due to currency fluctuations, but we guarantee that the price advertised on the date of your booking will be maintained in your individual case.
Due to the specialised nature of our holidays, we co-sell a number of trips with 'partner' companies. These are carefully selected to ensure they reflect our ethos and standards in terms of the service we offer our guests. By encouraging other companies to sell our trips it means that your chosen holiday may reach its 'minimum' number earlier, allowing us to guarantee the trip and to give you the go-ahead to book your travel arrangements.
There may be occasions when our partners have helped book your accommodation and organise the logistics for your trip. On these occasions your hotel may have recorded your room reservation in the name of one of our partners.
We guarantee that companies with whom we work will offer the same package as Tracks and Trails Ltd. The price will be the same, though occasionally they may be operating in a different currency. Your itinerary and the items that are included, or not included in your trip fee, will also be the same.
We believe in team work, and enjoy working with other small high quality companies. If you have any questions about this policy please contact us and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
