School Ski Trip to Grand Massif

Skiing in Grand Massif

Combined, the five resorts of Grand Massif (Flaine, Marillon, Samoens, Sixt and Les Carroz.) offer 265km of well-groomed skiable terrain. This means there’s a wide selection of challenging runs for skiers of every level – 5 for beginners and intermediates and 4 for advanced skiers. These resorts not only make up the fourth-largest skiing area in France, but are also home to some of the best snow in the country. The proximity to Europe’s highest peak, Mont Blanc, provides the added advantage of creating a natural micro-climate, giving these resorts some of the best snow records in France.

Supporting you every step of the way

Creating your perfect ski trip

Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in skiing trips and knows our resorts really well. They’ll work with you to create a trip to suit your group’s needs and budget.

Launching your trip to parents and students

The next step is to get your trip approved and get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. This is full of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the trip planning process.

After you’ve booked

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start work on the finer details. They’ll make sure your ski lessons, ski hire and après-ski activities are all sorted and they’ll take on most of the other admin tasks for your trip (so you can look forward to the trip as much as the kids).

Support while you’re away

While you’re abroad, you’ll be looked after by a Halsbury rep based in your resort. And Halsbury HQ staff will be on the end of the phone 24 hours a day. You’ll get a final info pack before you go with all the info you need, plus access to all your trip documents on the Vamoos app.

After your trip

When you return from your trip, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, so we can continue our service. This is also the perfect time to start planning your next trip, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and make it easier for you).
