A school ski trip to Montgenèvre in France will offer you access to the Milky Way ski area – most of which is in Italy. This opportunity to ski in two countries and experience two cultures is one your students will never forget. The snow record here is fantastic, and better even than its Italian counterparts. The village itself is ideal for school ski groups – charming and quiet, this feels like a safe place to bring a group of students. The laid-back atmosphere and lack of boisterous nightlife means you can just relax and enjoy an unforgettable French ski holiday with your students. And, to make life even easier, your accommodation will be close to a lift, offering easy access to the slopes.

School Ski Trip to Montgenevre
Skiing in Montgenevre
Montgenèvre is part of the Milky Way (Via Lattea in Italian) ski area, so choosing this resort for your school ski trip gives you convenient access to over 400km of piste. As most of the runs are above 2500m, the snow conditions are guaranteed throughout the season. The nursery slopes are at village level which is super convenient for beginners. Plus, thanks to the altitude, there’s no issue with snow cover here as there can be at other, lower resorts. Intermediates will have great fun with the excellent variety of runs that often start above the treeline, before descending through the trees. For the expert skiers, there are nine black runs in Montgenèvre itself, with plenty more challenging terrain throughout the rest of the Milky Way.

Hotel Miramonti
The popular Hotel Miramonti is a family run hotel and offers good accommodation for schools just a few minutes' walk from the main ski area in Claviere.The hotel occupies an elevated position with some great views, and as a smaller hotel it would be possible for a large group to have sole occupancy, making this the perfect base for a wonderful ski trip.The bar and restaurant area of the hotel is an excellent place to run any in-house après ski activities, and if more entertainment is required the main resort area is at the bottom of the hotel’s drive which means that everything is within easy reach. As such, hot lunches can be taken at the hotel and walking in ski boots and carrying skis is kept to a minimum. Rooms are basic but clean and functional all with ensuite facilities.

Let's chat!
Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you for all of your help. The trip was amazing, for staff and pupils alike. I cannot say just how happy we are with Halsbury. The booking, organisation and running of the trip was easy and well structured. Lisa Brown was excellent with the admin and communicated consistently throughout, making the organisation simple. Our reps, Jon Doel, Tricia Cooke and Khursana Tairova, were fantastic. They took the time to get to know our staff and pupils, providing the best experience for all. We cannot emphasise enough just how great our experience was.
