Tours de Sport is a winter vacation tour operator located in Aspen, Colorado. The company has been providing top-notch ski and snowboard vacations for over 25 years. The company functions somewhat similarly to a travel agency, except that Tours de Sport is highly specialized by offering only winter ski and snowboard vacations. For the 2025-26 winter season, Tours de Sport will be offering vacation packages to over 100 different destinations in the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe and South America. Tours de Sport can offer lodging discounts at over 2,000 properties, encompassing everything from basic hotel rooms to 10-bedroom homes. We are a one stop shop for lodging, air, lift tickets, equipment rentals, ground transfers, lessons and activities.
Tours de Sport books packages for thousands of travelers every winter. As a tour operator, Tours de Sport receives a substantial volume discount from each of the resorts offered, and the company can pass those savings on to the customers.
During the fall and winter seasons (September 1 to March 15), the Tours de Sport sales representatives are available seven days a week (Monday through Friday: 9:00am to 7:00pm, Saturday and Sunday: 10:00am to 3:00pm). The office is open five days a week (Monday through Friday: 9:00am to 5:00pm) during the remainder of the year.
Tours de Sport does not generally offer pre-packaged or “canned” vacation packages because we have found that customers want the flexibility to include exactly what they need (and to leave out anything they don't need) in their vacation packages. Because of Tours de Sport's discounted wholesale rates, we are able to offer a discounted 'package' rate without the inflexibility of forcing travelers into very specific and often unnecessary vacation inclusions. However, in some instances, we will receive an even greater discount on specific dates from certain properties and resorts. In these cases, we do offer a pre-packaged vacation as one of our 'Hot Deals'. This is because the customers must book those specific dates in order or get the extended discount for their vacation package.
Yes, the Tours de Sport sales representatives have specialized knowledge of all the travel destinations offered for vacation packages. Each of the sales representatives have worked in the ski vacation industry for many years, and some have even worked directly for some of the ski resorts themselves.
The least expensive times to reserve lodging would be during off-peak times when the resorts will be the least crowded. Generally, these dates include anytime before the Christmas holiday season (which begins around December 22), and the latter portion of the ski season, which generally begins in late March, depending on the resort. However, even in mid-season (January and February), most resorts and hotels offer substantial discounts for mid-week travel (Sunday to Thursday). At some lodging properties, the midweek nights cost as little as half as much as the price of the weekend nights of Friday and Saturday. Also, most resorts offer a 20% - 30% discount on midweek and early / late season lift tickets as well.
The highest rates are found between Christmas Day and New Year's Day, and during the two winter holidays: Martin Luther King Day weekend (Jan. 18 - 20) and President's Day weekend (Feb. 15 - 17). The next highest rates are found during the weekends in the middle of the season (January through early March). Despite the high prices, these time periods are also the busiest and most crowded at the ski resorts.
If you are traveling during peak season (see above), it is always a great idea to reserve a vacation package as early as possible. Availability can change very quickly for the dates falling during peak or holiday season, and at most resorts; these dates WILL sell out, and sell out quickly. Apart from that, there is no other benefit to booking early. Some resorts may offer a special 'early booking' discount, but this only happens occasionally, and only at a very select few lodging properties.
The terms and conditions vary by property and by the selections you make. The quote that the Expert will provide you will have the detailed information needed as to cancellations and when payments will be required. Our quotes will have the detailed Terms and Conditions for the properties you will be offered.
In addition to providing an instantaneous price quote for your vacation package, Tours de Sport will also e-mail a copy of each quote directly to your e-mail address, so there is never any need to print out the information on each quote. If you do not wish to enter the information on-line, you may certainly call our office at 410-356-8100 and speak with a Tours de Sport sales representative, who can provide you with any information you may need over the phone.
No, whether the price quotes are generated through the online reservation engine or by speaking directly to a Tours de Sport sales representative over the phone, all prices for each particular item are always the same. However, our experts have intimate knowledge of how to help you save money when booking a ski vacation and can save you money by offering you selections you might not be aware of.
Tours de Sport does offer lodging-only vacation packages. However, because of the agreements the company has with the ski resorts, including lift tickets or other skier services with lodging, it may open better rate possibilities.
There are several reasons why your quote would not include a price for lodging. There are many restrictions involved when booking vacation travel to certain ski destinations. For example, during the holiday period between Christmas and New Year's Day, most lodging properties require guests to stay a minimum of 4 nights, and in some cases even longer. Any holiday restrictions can be found beneath the description of each lodging property. Make sure that your stay includes the correct minimum number of nights. Also, there are some instances where availability at certain properties can change very quickly and the dates chosen may simply be sold out. When you do receive a quote that does not include lodging or any one of the other vacation components, you may certainly contact your Tours de Sport sales representative to correct the error or find an affordable alternative.
There is a 2-night minimum on every vacation package that Tours de Sport offers, and this requirement may increase during holiday periods. The online quoting system will not let customers price out a vacation for just a single night.
Tours de Sport can provide lodging, air, cars, transfers, lift tickets, rental equipment, and/or group lessons with your vacation package. Also, when you receive a price quote from Tours de Sport, ALL taxes, resort fees, and gratuities are included in that price. If there are any fees due at the property, those will be itemized. Your quote will have all the relevant details.
There are cases where certain fees payable to vendors are not included in the price, but they are outlined in detail in the quote and confirmation. Those fees must be paid for separately by the traveler.
There is no time limit for reserving your vacation package, except that the availability of lodging at your chosen property is subject to change. The quote provided by your Expert will always check for pricing and availability. Whenever you open the quote, it will give you the most accurate pricing. Pricing and availability cannot be guaranteed until you book.
When you open the quote, it will update prices and availability. Prior to accepting your payment the quote will reprice and make sure that availability and pricing have not changed.
Once your quote is complete, there will be a link at the bottom of the page that says 'Book this Quote'. Click on that link, and it will direct you to the secure payment section of our website. Please remember to include your billing address and security code that is found on the back of the card near the signature (or the top right portion of the front of the card for American Express). Of course, you may certainly call your Tours de Sport sales representative as well if you wish to reserve your package over the phone and forgo entering your credit card information online.
You will see a thank you page once the payment has been collected and all the components have been confirmed. You sales representative will send you a confirmation shortly thereafter.
That depends on when you book. Your quote will tell you whether there is a deposit due or if the entire amount is due at the time of booking.
Change fees may be applicable, please talk to your sales representative.
You will receive an email reminder from the Tours de Sport operations department as your final payment deadline approaches. We will keep the credit card information on file after you make your deposit. So, suppose there are no changes or additions to make to your vacation package. In that case, you may simply reply to the e-mail reminder you receive in order to authorize the final charge on the same credit card that was used for the original deposit. You may also call your Tours de Sport sales representative or speak with a member of our operations department directly in order to make your final payment.
Yes, there is an area of the Tours de Sport website where you may make a payment online. Your online confirmation will have a tab where you can view your current payment status and make any payments due.
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), ACH, and Affirm but using a credit card is the preferred method of payment. We also accept MoneyGram, which is an instantaneous payment similar to Western Union. We will accept a personal check or money order, but customers must be aware that no reservation can be reserved until Tours De Sport receives payment. Subsequently, we would not be able to 'hold' any available lodging for any length of time without a deposit, so availability may change during the time that the payment is in transit.
Yes, your Tours de Sport sales representative can handle individual credit card payments. Please be sure that anyone who calls your sales representative to make an individual payment must have the Tours de Sport six-digit reservation number and the name of the person who originally booked the vacation package.
Please review your quote for cancellation and refund policies, as each lodge has different policies.
There may be changes fees due, please check with your sales representative. There are some lodging properties that may charge a fee if you reduce the number of nights in the package once it is reserved. It is always best to check with your Tours de Sport sales representative immediately if you decide you need to reduce the length of your stay. Also, once you have made your final payment, there may be some fees involved if Tours de Sport needs to send any new documentation to you.
Your online confirmation will be updated as the package is fulfilled, it will contain all the necessary information for you to travel.
Tours de Sport strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance for your vacation. Remember that a large portion (if not all) of your vacation is non-refundable once the final payment is made. It is quite common that serious issues may arise at the last minute (sickness, car trouble, poor weather, etc.) that may affect whether or not you can travel. NONE of these reasons is sufficient to obtain a refund from the resort. Most of the resorts that Tours de Sport offers have very stringent cancellation policies, and there is never any variation from these policies. Travel insurance is designed to protect travelers from losing their money when issues such as these do indeed arise and travelers are forced to cancel their plans. Please contact your Tours de Sport sales representative for more information.
If you wish to lengthen the stay at your chosen lodging property, either by arriving early or staying late, you MUST contact your Tours de Sport sales representative as soon as you become aware of the necessary changes. On the other hand, if you wish to shorten your stay, lodging properties DO NOT offer any refunds for early checkouts, or 'no-shows', even in emergencies. Because potential emergencies do arise, Tours de Sport STRONGLY recommends that you purchase travel insurance. If you need to make changes to your lift tickets or other skier services once you have arrived, you must also contact your Tours de Sport sales representative. Ski resorts do not offer refunds for reductions of prepaid lift tickets, so it is always best to purchase only what you know you will be using.
The check-in times vary greatly from one property to another, so be sure to check with your Tours de Sport sales representative or view your confirmation document. Once your vacation package is reserved, all the appropriate check-in information will be sent to you via e-mail. Generally speaking, hotels and off-mountain lodges tend to have the earliest check-in times, usually around 2:00p. Condominium-style properties tend to have check-in times that are much later due to the extra time required for these units to be cleaned. When booking a condominium, you can expect to check in around 5:00p or 6:00p. Condominiums also have earlier checkout times, usually around 10:00am, while most hotels tend to have checkout times closer to noon.
Simply report to the front desk just as you would normally. In nearly every instance, if your room is cleaned and ready for check-in, the lodging property will let you check in early. Please be aware that during very busy time periods, it is very unlikely that your room will be ready for check-in early, but certainly consult the front desk staff when you arrive.
Most hotels and off-mountain lodges allow for a late checkout, which is usually an hour past the regular posted checkout. Most condominium properties do not allow for a late checkout, but in some cases, these properties will allow a late checkout for an additional fee. Once again, it is always best to consult the front desk staff at the property when you arrive, should you wish to request a late checkout.
If you do not reach a representative on your first call, it is imperative that you leave your sales representative a detailed message describing your problem and include a number where you can be reached and ask the agent that answers for help. Even if the representative does not pick up the phone on your first call, they will return the call as soon as possible. If an emergency arises during regular business hours, it is more efficient to simply call the Tours de sport office at 800-777-7650.
Each individual ski resort sets its own policy in terms of weather conditions. Generally speaking, if there is poor weather or if one of the potential skiers in your party is sick or becomes injured, most resorts will offer a 'rain check', whereby they offer vouchers to those customers affected. Customers will receive a voucher for each ski day that is missed, and the vouchers usually expire 12 months from the date they are issued. These vouchers are good only at the ski resort that issues them. Please be aware that each resort's policy is different, and you should consult your Tours de Sport sales representative for the specific policy at the resort to which you are traveling.
Many of the resorts offer access to an indoor pool or hot tub, and some even have a full recreation center nearby. Also, there are sledding or tubing, ice-skating, and spa services. Be sure to ask your Tours de Sport sales representative for information on off-mountain activities.
