School Ski Trips

This season, the average cost of a school ski trip is between £1,000 to £1,500 per person. Of course, the price can vary depending on where you go, how you get there, the accommodation, and the number of lessons for your group.

Dates can also impact the cost, with February half-term usually the most expensive time for a skiing holiday.

Don't worry though, our experts will help tailor a package that suits your requirements and budget.

Teachers and pupils 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.

It's totally up to you. Most schools opt for a 9-day trip, where they spend 6 days skiing for 4 hours each day.

However, we recommend an 8-day trip with 5 days of skiing for 5 hours per day. You will save one day's worth of accommodation and lift pass costs, and you'll have an extra hour of lessons overall. It's a no-brainer.

All of our ski trips for schools 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.

If you decide not to add this insurance to your booking, please make sure you have alternative insurance in place that provides suitable cover.

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.
