Any other part of your holiday that is booked with Ski Inspired will be protected with our ABTOT bond. If you book the flight, we'll take care of the rest!

Car / Ferry Baqueira is approximately 700 miles (12hrs drive) from Calais. There are several ferry operators to cross the channel with such as P O Ferries, Sea France and Norfolk Line. You could also look at Eurotunnel and Hoverspeed. In France, it is advisable to follow the main autoroutes. Although you have to pay tolls it will save a lot of time and is more direct. From Calais the main route goes via Paris, Orleans, Limoges, Toulouse and Montrejeau. From there, take the N-125 and N-230 to Vielha, from where the C-142 goes to resort.
