Ever wondered how to pick the perfect school ski resort?
Well, we’ve sat down with our friendly, experienced and slope shredding team of ski tour operator specialists to get the best bits in one snowy piece of content.
Want an edge on choosing a resort? Then read on.
A high-quality hotel is an essential base layer to any school ski tour. You want a space that may include any or all of the following:
And depending on your tour age range, you might want a quiet resort with in-house après or a busier space with out of hotel entertainment.
But don’t worry about as we can work together to pinpoint which accommodation would best suit you and your students.
Because of ski and snowboarding’s huge popularity, there are a wide range of skill levels to think about. We offer slopes that hit all ability markers and include a stunning array of ski runs from green to red and blue to black triple diamond.
Picking nursery slopes for skiers and snowboarders is ideal for a tour who haven’t skied before. But don’t worry if you favour more challenging runs as we’ve teamed up with local ski schools to spice up red to black run skier’s experiences too.
And the ski school instructors we work with are English speaking, which means you’ll get all the linguistic ski boosting information in your own language.
For a brilliant binding to include all skill levels, pick up the phone or email us so we can help you choose the ski resort piste perfect for your school tour.
We all have that irrepressible image of what we expect those ski inclines to look like, but it’s often mind-boggling to grasp the details of what makes sure snow. Factors to take in to account are temperatures, high altitude, ski area orientation and whether they are near a glacier.
Plus, you want packed powder type snow for that best all-round skill level experience.
Thankfully, we’ve got a snow-sure relationship with resorts in Austria, Andorra, North America, Canada, France, Italy and Switzerland that all provide the quality ski ground you could need.
What goes hand-in-hand with skiing and snowboarding? Why it’s those exciting après options!
Depending on your class age range, you might need in or out-house après. On resort choices can include movies, swimming pools, pizza nights, discoes, quizzes, karaoke and even bowling.
But, if you want to get away from your hotel the local town is a great way to check out cafes, restaurants or shops for that perfect souvenir for back home.
We can cherry-pick to match these details, making your skiing resort not all about the snow sports.
If your trip comprises young students, a ski resort connected to a quiet village can be a real clincher. It means you can give them an element of freedom whilst always keeping a protective eye on their whereabouts.
And for cushion comfort, we know just the spots that are quieter than most spaces.
Great slope adventures begin with easy travel from your accommodation. Why? Because the last thing you want after getting your students on the coach is spending another 60 minutes slaloming back to your hotel because someone forgot their ski gloves.
So, avoid that crevasse and bring up the transport time from hotel to slope side with our specialist Ski Team. We’ll know all the places where you can walk from resort to your ski area, giving you the inside edge on getting the most out of your ski or snowboarding activity.
With every tour itinerary we offer comes tried, tested and piste proven ski as well as boarding base equipment. These are bits of gear like skis, boots, poles, helmets and snowboards. Vital kit for a quality turn on those kicker sides.
