FRANCE WHY CHOOSE FRANCE FOR YOUR SCHOOL SKI TRIP? France is home to some of the best and most well-known ski resorts in the world. However, some of the larger resorts are not always suitable for school groups and can not offer true value for money. This is why we have handpicked two of our favourite French resorts - St Gervais and Chatel. Both resorts offer the skiing available in other parts of the French Alps, yet are often less crowded, more welcoming to school groups and better value for money. In Chatel and St Gervais your groups get superb skiing in top French resorts and an authentic experience in the villages - what more could you want?
