Sestriere Italy School Ski Trip

Day 1 Ferry Crossing

Your coach will depart and travel overnight bound for Italy. After a short Channel crossing the spectacular journey through France is framed by alpine views and majestic scenery.

Arrive in Italy where you will be met by your Activ4 School Tours Representative at the Villa Plinia hotel in the village of Pragelato. The hotel is ideally located in the beautiful village of Pragelato, close to the lift for the slopes and only a short journey away from the cable car that connects the village to the ski resort of Sestriere.

Day 3 First Day Skiing, Quiz Night

Your group will start each day with breakfast at the hotel. Then set off on the short journey to the meeting point for ski school. Gianni and his National Ski School team will be waiting for you and ready to go! Your well earned lunch will be a hot meal at a restaurant. Return to your lessons and enjoy the rest of the day.

Day 4 Skiing in the Milky Way, Movie Night

The Milky Way ski area is well known for its long hours of sunshine and fantastic range of skiing that caters for all abilities. With 600 runs and a top lift height at 2840m even the most advanced skiers will be kept busy this week. This evening you can get together for a movie at the hotel.

Day 5 Make the Most of the Snow, Ice Skating

Head out to make the most of the snow. The slopes at Pragelato played host to the Winter Olympics in 2006 and the infrastructure shows the huge investment that went into the area. Combined with the traditional houses and excellent restaurants this really is a fabulous resort for a trip. Tonight you may opt for an evening ice skating!

Day 6 Skiing, Pizza Night

Out for another great day on the slopes. Try challenging your instructor to a race; the practice could come in useful! As with all areas of Activ4 School Tours programmes, evening entertainments will be carefully planned for your group and you may wish to end today with a pizza night (optional extra).

Day 7 Last Day Skiing, Departure

Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end and today is your last day. However, you still have the opportunity to hit the slopes. After your ski presentation and saying your good-bye’s on the mountain it’s back to the hotel. After dinner board the coach, tired but happy and ready to sleep all the way back the UK.

Day 8 Chanel Crossing, Arrive at School

After a short Channel crossing you are back in England for the remainder of the journey back to school. The tour officially ends here but with a trip this good we are sure that it will live long in the memory.
