WHAT TO EXPECT
The Ski Trip is open to all students regardless of their level of experience on the slopes. Novice and experienced skiers can be catered for. For the last 10 years we visited Italy, Andorra and France.
The venue for the proposed 2027 trip will be Tonale. The group will be staying in a recently renovated, family-run 3 star Hotel Sciatori located in the Tonale Pass (northern Italy) about 300m away from the pistes.
The experience will include:
- Luxury Coach transfer from Fleet to and from the final destination
- Crossing by Ferry
- Six nights full board accommodation (Meals en route are not included)
- Six days 4hr ski lessons
- Six days lift pass
- Ski equipment hire
- Local ‘Tourist Tax’
- Hoodies
- Evening entertaiment (Crepe Night, Pizza Night, Disco)
- Sauna
- Endsleigh Insurance - Winters Sports
Students who are new to skiing will be required to undertake lessons prior to the trip. Whilst this may be facilitated by the school, parents should be prepared both for this additional expense and to provide transport to and from the training venue.
IMPORTANT: Activities will be led by qualified ski instructors, however parents/guardians should accept that, by their nature, snow sports activities may involve some level of risk which cannot be fully eliminated.
