So what is ‘it’ all about?
Holygrail Holidays was set up in 2009 by Mick and Lisa to cater for the ever expanding summer holiday market based in the charming mountain village of Châtel, France which is located in the Portes Du Soleil on the French Swiss border.
It offers a wide range of services from Mountain bike trips through to Well Being Yoga Holidays including:

The aim is to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where people can enjoy their summer breaks in the French/Swiss Alps without a care in the world.
