The Powder Byrne Story

REMAINING TRUE TO OUR ROOTS

Started by a young entrepreneur Rory Byrne in 1985, Powder Byrne was the first UK tour operator to marry bespoke skiing experiences with quality service, sharing our passion for powder skiing and our intimate knowledge of the Alps.

Alongside our Original Skiing Holidays, we now offer our Summer Resorts Programmes and Air & Space adventure holidays and are proud that the company still embodies our ‘Everything’s Possible’ philosophy to this day.

Client Testimonials

AN ESTABLISHED BRAND THAT YOU CAN TRUST

Crete – Summer 2018

“Powder Byrne went above and beyond, we’ve travelled many times with them before but we especially loved our stay at Porto Elounda. The surrounding area was beautiful, with fantastic facilities and a stunning spa – we loved the yoga in the evenings. The rooms were lovely and spacious and the food was delicious each night.”

Elba – Summer 2018

“The Powder Byrne resort manager, Sam went above and beyond to provide a fantastic level of service. The PB team were very good with the children and all worked incredibly hard to ensure the children had fun. I was very impressed with the whole team.“

Polo Valley – Autumn 2018

“We were greeted with what can only be described as Argentinian oasis. The polo fields, stables and friendly staff just wiped away the fear I had of entertaining my entire family for a week. I decided to take a step back and let the unbelievably professional staff take over and encourage the children to get involved. The incredibly well looked after polo ponies were so calm and patient, we had a fantastic experience and the children are desperate to return.”

Crete – Summer 2019

“TheZone programme was so exceptional and I highly commend both Tom and Matt in the resort for their organisation, good humour and patience. We almost wished it was less fun so the girls would want to spend more time with us!”

Sintra – Summer 2018

“Our holiday was fantastic and stress-free, exactly what we were looking for. We really appreciated being picked up and dropped door to door from airport to hotel and the girls adored the caring and enthusiastic staff making us feel at ease when they went off for their activities. Yet again first class service from Powder Byrne.”

Crete – Summer 2019

“We enjoyed our holiday enormously. All the team were exceptional in how well they looked after us; suggesting trips, offering advice and help and looking after the kids so well in the Scalleywags programme. Everyone was fantastically friendly and very professional.”

Stuben- Winter 2018

“We have had a phenomenal ski holiday thanks to the PB team and incredible service and attention provided. Nothing was too much trouble – we’ve been spoilt beyond belief. Every person has been an absolute joy to coordinate with. We’ve simply had the best time! You can’t improve – you’re simply the best.”

Gstaad – Winter 2018

“Nothing was too much trouble and every request was met with a ‘can-do’ attitude. This was our first Powder Byrne holiday and we are already making plans for our next!“

Flims – Winter 2019

“Powder Byrne staff are utterly charming, professional and friendly and always go the extra mile for us, they truly made our week.“

Swiss Cook – Winter 2019

“We had a private Swiss Cook chef catering for us throughout our Christmas ski holiday and it was without a doubt the highlight of our holiday. The meals were fantastic and David was so friendly and professional.”

St Christoph – Winter 2018

“What a fabulous holiday. PB’s attention to detail and removing all the aggravation of a ski holiday was superb. Their client concierge team was a pleasure to deal with and we really appreciated all of their help pre-booking our ski equipment, restaurants and activities.“

Zurs – Winter 2018

“Great kids programme, as always. Our daughter loved her first week in SnoZone.”
