6 Jun, 2025 by Tim Jenkins

“I would recommend SkiBound highly to any school looking to book a ski trip for your young people. The booking process is straight forward and all questions and requests come with all the information you may need to be assured you are creating the best trip for your young people. When on the trip, our reps were brilliant and made our stay 10/10. Thanks!”
St Andrew’s RC Secondary

This year marks a special milestone for us - 40 years of delivering outstanding school ski trips for UK students. Since our founding in 1985, we’ve grown to become one of the most trusted names in educational travel. With destinations ranging from the French Alps to North America, our core mission remains unchanged: to provide schools with safe, enriching, and seamlessly managed ski experiences.

Organising a school ski trip can be a seamless process when working with our experienced SkiBound team. Between transport logistics, ski hire, lift passes, medical forms, safeguarding, and itinerary planning, it’s all covered. That’s why schools come to us. Our role is to take the pressure off and offer a service that makes trip leadership as easy as carving down a well-groomed blue run.

Tailored Support from Day One

From the moment a school first gets in touch, our expert SkiBound team is on hand to offer tailored advice and planning. Whether it’s your first time leading a trip or your tenth, we’re here to ensure everything is clear, manageable, and adapted to your group’s needs with the most experienced ski sales team in schools travel’.

As the group from St Andrew’s shared:

“SkiBound were helpful from management to general staff. Polite, friendly, helpful, efficient - we couldn’t have asked for more.

That level of support is consistent, whether you're heading to Italy or Andorra. For example, the group from Castle Donnington college commented:

“The trip ran really smoothly. The location was spot on for ease of skiing and was close to town facilities. The hospitality and friendliness was exceptional and the catering superb.”

Flawless Operations on the Ground

We know how much hinges on smooth operations once your group arrives at the resort. We work hand-in-hand with our trusted partners to make sure transfers, hotel check-ins, ski fit, lessons, and evening activities run like clockwork.

Our reps play a vital role in ensuring that success. As Aim High noted:

“The Clubhotel Frejus [in Serre Chevalier] is perfectly located at the foot of the slopes and lifts with access to many shops and restaurants. The staff are welcoming and cater for all needs and requests. The food is filling whilst delicious. This is our second time in this hotel and we have already booked again for next year.”

Egglescliffe highlighted the little things that make a big difference:

“Clubhotel Vallée Blanche [in Alpe d’Huez offers a] good location for lifts. Hotel has a good social area to cater for numerous groups. Food was of an excellent standard. Resort has a great variety of après ski activities. Town centre is good and a safe distance from hotel.”

Making Memories - And Building Traditions

We’re proud that so many schools return to us year after year. It’s not just about one good trip - it’s about building a lasting relationship with a company you can rely on.

As the group from Dame Allan’s School told us:

“SkiBound has provided us with a fantastic school ski trip. The children have enjoyed everything about the week and so many memories have been made.”

Meanwhile, Cronton 6th Form College shared:

“We've used SkiBound for the last 10 years. The service from start to finish is outstanding, as is the student experience. We'd definitively recommend!”

Our 40 years of experience give us the insight to know what really matters to schools. Whether it’s managing dietary requirements or providing 24/7 support when the unexpected happens, our vastly experienced operations team and huge network of long-term suppliers provide appropriate solutions.
