Who We Are

At Mountain Action Holidays, we believe in adventure that doesn’t cost the Earth. Our mission is to deliver unforgettable outdoor experiences while embracing eco-conscious practices that protect the natural environments we explore. Here's how we work to keep our planet green:

Refillable Essentials: We’ve swapped single-use plastic for refillable shampoo bottles in all our accommodations, reducing waste and embracing sustainable alternatives.
Eco-Friendly Travel: Wherever possible, we use public transport like trains and buses to connect you to our activities, minimizing our carbon footprint and supporting greener travel.
Sustainable Comfort: All our toilet paper is sourced from Who Gives A Crap, a brand dedicated to environmentally friendly and socially impactful products.
Supporting Local Communities: We collaborate with local guides, chefs, and equipment suppliers to ensure our operations support local economies and traditions. This approach fosters authentic experiences while reducing unnecessary transportation of goods.
Locally Sourced Cuisine: From hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners, our meals are crafted with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, delivering fresh flavors that celebrate the region’s culinary heritage.

By blending thrilling outdoor adventures with sustainability, we aim to inspire others to cherish and protect the natural wonders that make our trips so special. Join us in exploring the world, responsibly.

Our Philosophy

Now this may be starting with the obvious but it’s important to say; we love the mountains. The thrills, the views and the way of life are like nowhere else.

Mountain Action Holidays offer multi-activity and packaged adventure holidays within different mountain ranges. Including the famous Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in the French Alps, the beautiful Lake District, the stunning North Devon coast in the U.K. and the Mosor mountains in the wonderful Omis Riviera in Croatia, it’s our job to help you have an adventure to remember. We’ve made sure our range of activities accommodate people of all ages and abilities.

Our philosophy is simple; we want to give you a hassle-free adventure that puts a smile on your face. The only challenge we want for you is the activity in front of you. After all, organising a holiday shouldn’t be the only accomplishment.

We’ve paired with some of the best accommodation, to ensure your stay is as comfortable as it is thrilling. So eat well, sleep well, then get yourself outside with Mountain Action Holidays.

Julie

Director

Julie is the founding director of Mountain Action Holidays and gets involved in everything to do with the business. She has always loved outdoor life and fell in love with the mountains over 20 years ago. Julie is so passionate about mountain life that she’s made it her mission to help as many people as possible experience all that the great outdoors has to offer. “Everybody thinks that by participating in outdoor activities, you have to be amongst the extreme, but I believe that is not true. There is something for everyone and the mountains can be as challenging as you want.”

Andy

Ed

Web & Video

Ed has called the mountains of Chamonix home since 2016. Although snowboarding brought him to the Alps, biking is where his passion lies and every summer you will find him racing down the gnarliest downhill mountain bike trails Chamonix has to offer. He believes that mountain sports should be as accessible as possible for everyone and works towards making the mountains a friendlier place for people of all abilities. In winter he works with the charity “Ski 2 Freedom” guiding skiers at various resorts around the Alps and in the summertime he assists gravity bikers on their holidays. He has also been involved in building a downhill mountain bike trail for paraplegic bikers in the Forest of Dean. When Ed isn’t speeding around the mountains, he is the brain behind our brilliant website and films all of our epic adventures.
