Lessons

Perfect for beginners, recommended for everyone and professionally run by qualified instructors, the lesson packages on offer on Varsity Trip 2011 are the best way to prepare for an exciting, fun and, most importantly, safe, time on the slopes.

For absolute beginners we are offering a Beginners’ Package for just £109, which includes three mornings of lessons as well as Bronze Ski Hire. These will begin on Sunday so that you make the most of your time in Val Thorens and are run by fully-accredited ESF staff. The ESF is the most prestigious ski school in the Alps so you will be in safe hands as you get your footing in the sport.

Lessons at non-beginner level can be booked in packages of either three or five sessions and are unbelievable value at £69 and £109 respectively. There are several levels of ability available so don’t worry – you wont be out of your depth or stuck with less experienced skiers. We highly recommend booking lessons as part of your trip, for anybody not certain of their ski legs, since we cannot provide you with such great prices if you chose to undertake them once in resort. They’re also a great way to meet people of a similar skiing ability and with such highly trained ESF staff on-hand to help, you’re guaranteed to see improvement in your skiing or snowboarding ability, whatever level you begin the week with.

If you’re on the First Lift package specialised race training is available in the days before the trip. This will cost £79 and £139 for 9 and 18 hours respectively.
