As the days are becoming shorter and the temperature drops, you may start dreaming of venturing to the snow-capped mountains on a school ski trip, whether it’s Andorra, Italy, Switzerland or the USA. Booking early provides you with peace of mind knowing your trip is secured and safely on piste, giving you and your students something to look forward to in February 2028!
Here are five reasons why you should book your school ski trip early.
With peak times such as February booking up far in advance, securing your school ski trip early means you have a wider choice of top resorts based on your requirements and availability. If you’re looking for resorts that are great for beginners or have more terrain for intermediate skiers, a family-friendly atmosphere or a livelier feel, booking early means you’ll have a greater choice of exceptional resorts across some fantastic destinations.
Not only this, but you’ll also have a broader range of accommodation types to choose from, whether you’re wanting a sole-occupancy hotel, ski in/ski out or traditional chalet style, whatever your requirements are, booking early and speaking to our team can ensure that you find the resort and accommodation that’s right for your group and makes the trip a sensational success!
Before enquiring, there are many things to consider, from travel dates, students’ skiing abilities, to the type of resort best suited to your group, tuition time and travel method. Whether you decide to travel by air or coach, booking early helps ensures that you get the correct number of seats booked on flights at peak times or confirms coach travel before other school groups start to book.
When you book your school ski trip in advance, it gives parents and carers more time to pay for the trip, making it more manageable by spreading the costs. It also gives students and parents more time to prepare for the additional costs of a school ski trip, such as purchasing the correct clothing items and spending money. By announcing a school ski trip with plenty of notice, it can also help make the trip more inclusive and open to more students, driving up interest and participation.
It also means securing better rates on travel methods, accommodation and ski lift passes, meaning the overall price of the trip could be reduced.
The lead-up to a school ski trip is part of the adventure! Planning and booking your school ski trip early means gives students over a year of looking forward to a trip of a lifetime. From planning room allocation and après ski activities to purchasing ski clothing and attending parents’ information evenings, there’s lots of ways to build excitement in the months leading up to the ski trip.
When you book early, it provides you with adequate time to complete the necessary paperwork, including collecting passport information and medical forms, filling in dietary requirements, gathering emergency contact information finalising risk assessments.
It allows party leaders to allocate staff during school holidays, complete any required training courses and carry out safety checks. Additionally, booking early means you can establish a stronger, clearer communication process between us, you and the parents, ensuring that everyone involved is kept informed at all stages of the booking process, from initial enquiry to the time you return home.
