Five days on the slopes of Haute-Savoie, with lift pass, equipment and ESF lessons by level, from beginner to expert, and lively evenings.
This ski trip offers five proper days on the snow in a Haute-Savoie resort. Every morning, pupils take a French Ski School group lesson by level; in the afternoon, they ski with their teachers on suitable runs, from the first snowplough turns to red runs. The lift pass and ski or snowboard hire are included, and evenings are shared between the ice rink, snowshoeing at sunset and evenings at the accommodation. On the last day, everyone takes their ESF test. The departure date and time are set with your school in the quote. The journey is made in daytime, with a 30-minute break every 3 hours on the road, and the coach stays with the group on site.
