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

Air & Space – Costa Rica

“The Costa Rican holiday delivered exactly what we wanted and expected. It has opened our eyes to this type of holiday, which we all very much enjoyed. The fact that it was all planned out was superb and everything flowed together. We saw amazing wildlife on our turtle tour and nighttime rainforest walk, and we loved the canyoning, water tubing, rafting and surfing.”

Flims – Winter 2018

“The Yeti Club was fantastic and is the perfect way to teach kids to ski whilst parents get to enjoy activities on the mountain too.”

Grindelwald – Winter 2019

“The Powder Byrne Learn to Ski in Style Programme was superb. It was really nice to have the option to improve your technique and have the instruction available for the full 5 days.“

Morgan Stanley

“I can’t thank you guys enough for all the hard work you put into the organisation of our conference. You were just like an extension of the Morgan Stanley team.”

Sintra – Summer 2018

“We were blown away by the care and experience of the staff, always so happy and helpful and the team’s willingness to be flexible with plans/pickups meant we could really relax and enjoy ourselves.”

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.“

Elba – Summer 2018

“We had a brilliant time! The team couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. We had some amazing tennis lessons and our boys loved the kids’ programmes. They had tears at the end of the holiday.“

Arosa – Winter 2019

“The guided walk led by Freddie was a great opportunity for non-skiers to get together and marvel at the stunning locations. Everything was organised for us from the start to finish and nothing was too much trouble for the Powder Byrne team.“

Crete – Summer 2019

“We had a fantastic holiday, many thanks to the amazing hotel and all the PB staff.”

Flims – Winter 2019

“The design features and styling of The Hide are really something special. We’re used to staying in traditional alpine hotels which we do love, but The Hide was a really nice change of pace and unleashed our inner hipster! As always the Powder Byrne team were fantastic and our Ski Guides did not disappoint”

Elba – Summer 2019

“PB staff provided excellent, first-class service as always. My son never wanted to leave and loved all the activities.”

Laax – Winter 2018

“Our kids thoroughly enjoy the children’s skiing programmes, it was just fabulous and what a great team.”
