Hit the slopes across breathtaking alpine scenery, towering mountain peaks, and picturesque ski villages in Val Thorens. 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!
What will the trip look like?
Day 1 – Bus from Geneva Airport to Val Thorens UCPA
We will gather at Geneva Airport at 230pm (Geneva Time) to catch our 3pm bus transport to Val Thorens UCPA. We should reach around 6pm which gives us just enough time to grab our equipment before enjoying our first buffet dinner together.
Day 2 – First Ski Day!
Beginners will have 2 hours of lessons in the afternoon! This is a free and easy day for all other skill levels! In the evening there will be a welcome meeting to explain the layout and any events throughout the week. After dinner, it might be a good idea to head to town to pick up some snacks and drinks to last you your entire week!
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 – Free and Easy
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.
