French Alps with your class

Pupils spend their mornings with qualified instructors on wide, gentle nursery slopes before progressing to longer linked runs across one of Europe's largest ski areas. The compact, traffic-free villages make supervision straightforward, and Geneva airport is barely an hour away.

Evenings bring tobogganing, swimming and quiz nights, while the relaxed Savoyard villages give a genuine introduction to alpine life.
