WHERE ARE WE STAYING?

After the ski meeting with families, students will get together with the Trip Leaders one lunchtime and plan their rooming - usually in groups of 4, 5, or 6. More details of the student rooming meeting to follow.

Please note - the beds are ‘Austrian Doubles’ which are 2 single mattresses, in a double bed frame, with 2 single duvets.

We’ll be having breakfast & dinner at the hotel, and hot lunches on the slopes which keeps walking in ski boots and carrying skis to a minimum!

As above, the hotel is also where our Après Ski will happen; games nights, quizzes as well as disco and pizza evening - to give a few examples!

PISTE MAP

The coach journey is very long, but we have executive coaches.

Students should dress for comfort & warmth not style! Take your travel sickness pills before departure if you need them (more on medicine on page 6)

A pillow is a good idea for the coach DVDs for the journey, give these to Mr. King (as this is a mixed age group trip - nothing above a PG please) Bring games to play on the coach, but expensive electronic games or gadgets are brought at your own risk; staff can’t take responsibility for them and they are not insured. You can bring headphones but no speakers

Sensible food and drinks to last the journey (enough for lunch, dinner & breakfast)

Absolutely no chewing gum, fizzy drinks or sugary sweets on the coach please

PACKING/KIT LIST

You will need ski clothes for the day and some casual clothes for the evening, however many students pack far too much; you honestly don't need a different outfit and shoes for every day! There is only space in the hold of the coaches for 1 medium 'soft' bag each (not a hard suitcase) so please...be selective and plan on wearing most things more than once!
