France

France continues to be the top ski destination for SkiBound school groups year on year, thanks to the extensive choice of high altitude, snow-sure resorts alongside an excellent range of accommodation. Our exclusive Clubhotels offer a high standard of accommodation and a safe environment for groups. For groups wanting a real taste of France, why not consider one of several French-managed hotels in village resorts such as Notre Dame de Bellecombe and Montgenèvre, whilst older groups will also appreciate the extensive range of apartments that we feature in big-name resorts such as La Plagne and Tignes.
