The venue for the proposed 2025 trip will be the Claviere ski resort located in the heart of ViaLattea which has one of the most extensive snowmaking systems in Europe.
Students will be staying in the Hotel Roma Claviere conveniently located in the centre of the village with easy access to the resort amenities.
What is included:
- Luxury Coach transfer to and from the final destination
- Ferry crossing
- Full board accommodation
- Six days 5hr skiing lessons
- Six days lift pass including 2 days in Montgenevre, France
- Ski equipment hire
- Local tourist tax

Students who are new to skiing will be required to undertake the lessons in UK prior to the trip. Whilst this may be facilitated by the school, parents should be prepared for both, 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.
