On the slopes

Take the gondola up from the village centre to the summit just below the Plaine Morte plateau at 2,927 metres high. The ski area has 140 kms of runs and with a wide variety of easy and intermediate slopes, your group will benefit from a real opportunity to progress.

The red slopes in particular offer long, varied descents to challenge you, without being too difficult. Highlights include following the tracks of the 2027 Ski World Championships from the top of the Bellalui slope or enjoy the spectacular views from the iconic Nationale slope. Valley runs lead to all the gondola stations in Crans, Montana and Barzettes-Violettes, making this a very secure resort for school groups.

Après-ski

As well as a great variety of in-house activities at your accommodation, your group can enjoy ice-skating at the Ycoor ice rink, night skiing at Arnouva (Saturdays only) and the shops and cafes in the village.

We also highly recommend a day off in the middle of the week for a cultural excursion. Not only does it give weary legs a rest from skiing, it also provides valuable educational and cultural enrichment.

Ideas include CERN, the UN or International Red Cross HQ in Geneva; visits to classic French or Italian villages such as Annecy, Aosta and Evian, or cultural trips to Freddie Mercury’s studio and the Charlie Chaplin museum in Montreux.

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

You should book your trip between 12-18 months in advance. This will give you the best choice of accommodation and allow parents plenty of time to save up, but we always welcome late bookings.

Snow Security: Snow cannons operate in all our resorts to assist satisfactory snow cover on the lower slopes. This means in many Austrian resorts, skiing is now possible from early December until late April making Easter skiing an attractive proposition.

Snow Guarantee: We will pay up to £30 per person per day towards additional costs of transport and lift pass if all the lifts in your resort are closed due to adverse weather conditions or lack of snow.

You will have your own bilingual ski rep for the whole week. Their role is to coordinate your skiing arrangements and entertainment and to ensure your stay is enjoyable, safe and memorable. All our reps are carefully selected, fully trained and are on duty 24-hours a day should any emergency arise.
