On the slopes
This hidden gem In the Southern Alps of France in the Gap region is perfect for our Club Europe school groups. You will be based in Ancelle, a charming, traditional village situated on a large plateau at 1340m. The ski area goes up to 1800m and its compact 26 km of pistes combine good snow conditions with gentle gradients making it perfect for beginners and intermediate skiers. The doorstep location of the accommodation means that you can enjoy easy access to the slopes, lunch back at your centre and a relaxed start to the week.
Once everyone has their ski legs, move on to Orcières - a 20 minute-drive away. With a ski area up to 2725m, Orcières enjoys high altitude skiing and an excellent variety of slopes, a boarder-skier cross park and slalom course so that that students of all abilities will be catered for.
