New Years Edition
Forget Siloso Sentosa Beach Party. How about ushering in the New Year with an exhilarating celebration at a breathtaking 2000m elevation in La Plagne, one of France's most sought-after Alpine destinations? The annual 'Red Pompon Night' at La Plagne is an experience you simply can't afford to miss. Picture an open-air extravaganza set against the stunning backdrop of the Alps, filled with dazzling fireworks, rhythmic beats, and an infectious, celebratory spirit – the perfect high-altitude salute to the New Year!
What will the trip look like?
Hit the slopes across breathtaking alpine scenery, towering mountain peaks, and picturesque ski villages in La Plagne. After a day on the slopes, unwind with some après-ski at the many bars across the resort. After all, après-ski did originate from the French!
Day 1 – Bus from Geneva Airport to La Plagne UCPA
We will gather at Geneva Airport at 130pm (Geneva Time) to catch our 2pm bus transport to La Plagne UCPA. We should reach around 5pm which gives us just enough time to grab our rental equipment and enjoy our first buffet dinner together. After dinner, your host will share with the beginners some tips & tricks about snowboarding and skiing to help prepare you for the week ahead. For non-beginners, the host will help to facilitate groupings if needed
Day 2 – First Ski Day!
Rise and shine! If you are a complete beginner your host will take you to the green slopes in the morning where you can sneak in some practice. Your lessons with UCPA will officially start in the afternoon.
For non-beginners, there are no lessons and guiding today. You can make full use of the day to freely explore the resort.
To ring in the new year, we will head to town and celebrate! You can expect some great music and an amazing fireworks show!
Day 3, 4 – Ski around the Alps with your guide
Beginners will have all-day lessons, all other abilities will have half-day instructed sessions. The instructors will not only help you to improve your skills but also take you around the best areas in the mountains. The best part of the group sessions is that you get to meet people with the same skill level as you which sets you up for lots of fun for the remaining days!
Day 5, 6, 7
Beginners will now have half-day instructed sessions instead of full-day. All other abilities can set off on their own adventures. During these days, we will look to organise other activities like swimming, partying, or farm visits if they are available.
Day 8 – Last Day
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. On Saturday morning, you are free to do whatever you like. Shop for souvenirs, grab food at a local cafe, or more skiing if your body still can take the damage. All rental equipment will be returned by 12pm. We will grab our final lunch at the resort before departing at 1pm.
