School ski trips to Pra Loup
£1300 to £1950
A typical school ski trip to France cost is £1300 to £1950 per person, depending on destination, time of travel, transport, accommodation and inclusions.
Nestled within the Southern Alps, Pra Loup’s sunny weather, laid back vibe and family friendly focus make it a great choice for school ski trips. More popular with French families than British crowds, Pra Loup also gives school groups an opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and brush up on their language skills, while the low-key nightlife means that everyone can get a good night’s sleep.
Features
Pra Loup’s ski area appeals to all abilities. From your accommodation, a gondola will take you all the way to the top of the mountain, where your group can practise on the nursery slopes before progressing to more challenging runs. Experienced skiers have plenty of reds and the odd black run to challenge themselves on, while the resort’s long open pistes provide ample space to progress.
Reliable snowfall and some of France’s best snowmaking facilities keep the pistes topped up all season, and the low-level tree runs makes skiing easier in bad weather.
