Four days of skiing or snowboarding in Haute-Savoie, with ESF lessons, lift pass and equipment included: the ideal trip to bond the class.
There is nothing like a week in the snow to round off the final year. Staying in a resort in Haute-Savoie, pupils enjoy four full days on the slopes, with a group lesson from the École du Ski Français (the French ski school) every day by ability level, from complete beginners to confident skiers, followed by free skiing supervised by the teachers. Lift pass, equipment and helmet are included, and the evenings in the resort make for lasting memories. The departure date and time are set with your school in the quote. The journey is made by day, with a 30-minute break every 3 hours of driving, and the coach stays with the group on site.
