School ski trips

This season, the average school ski trip is working out about £1000-£1500 per person.
Of course, the price can vary massively depending on where you want to ski, how you want to get to your resort, the standard of hotel you want to stay in and the number of ski lessons you want to include.
Dates also have a big impact on the cost, with February half-term usually the most expensive time to ski.
Don’t worry though, as an experienced school ski trip company, we’ll work with you to design a package that meets your requirements and fits your budget.

You should bring the following essentials: ski gear, thermal clothing, waterproof jacket and trousers, gloves, neck buff, woolly hat, sunglasses/goggles, non-ski clothes, walking boots, personal items (passport, medication, sunscreen), and a water bottle. See our packing checklist for more details on what to bring - and make sure you share it with your group before you travel.

It’s totally up to you how many days you want to ski.
Most schools go for 9-day trips, spending 6 days’ skiing for 4 hours each day.
Pro tip – go for an 8-day trip with 5 days of skiing for 5 hours per day. You’ll save a huge amount from needing one day less of accommodation and lift passes – and you’ll actually have an extra hour of lessons. It’s a no-brainer.

Yep, all our ski trips include the services of a Halsbury rep.
Your rep will usually speak the local lingo, so they can sort out any issues you have with meals, activities, equipment or ski passes.

We do, but it’s an optional extra so it’s up to you whether you add it to your booking.
To find out more about it, head to our insurance page, where you can view the policy, as well as some really helpful FAQs.
If you decide not to add this insurance to your booking, please make sure you do have alternative insurance in place that provides suitable cover for your ski trip.

Absolutely. In fact, we usually offer two inspection visits each year, usually around Christmas and Easter. This is a great opportunity to test-drive the Halsbury experience before your trip – and meet like-minded, ski-mad colleagues to swap tips.
