What Makes The Perfect Ski Resort for Prep Schools?

Taking a group of young skiers away can be a daunting prospect, so here are out top tips to consider when planning your prep school’s ski trip.

What Makes The Perfect Ski Resort for Prep Schools?

Convenience
What would be an easy walk for older children may not be such a walk in the park for the youngest groups, by choosing a hotel close to the slopes or with a door to door ski shuttle will keep the smiles on your students faces.

Variety of slopes
It’s common to see a broad variety of abilities amongst prep groups, from those who have never skied before to having already spent multiple weeks on the slopes. Whilst you won’t necessarily need an enormous ski area, it’s always worth ensuring there will be a selection of beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes.

Short Transfers
Nobody relishes the thought of a long transfer from the airport and this is all the more true for prep groups. Choosing a resort with a shorter transfer from the airport will take some of the stress out of your travel days and ensure your group will be raring to get going on day 1.
