Why choose La Plagne for your next school ski trip
Tom has been with SkiBound for almost two years now as one of our resident experts. He has a passion for winter sports and travelling. Working closely with the product team to ensure each and every ski holiday he sells is a memorable trip, Tom truly believes the school ski trip can offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Tom enjoys personally repping his groups and has been to various destinations, including La Plagne, Les Deux Alpes and Andorra. For the upcoming season, Tom will be taking up opportunities to rep for school groups in Italy and the USA!
I had the pleasure of repping one of our school groups in La Plagne over Easter 2024.
This was my first time visiting La Plagne in France and I could not wait as my colleagues always speak so highly of the destination. I also love to travel, so the opportunity to head over to one of our top-selling destinations was a no-brainer!
Below I highlight some of the main reasons why you should choose La Plagne for your next school ski trip.
Skiing
La Plagne is part of the famous Paradiski resort area. It is a high-altitude resort with a fantastic snow record, making it perfect for school groups to visit throughout the winter season.
There are slopes for all abilities. The group I repped ranged from pupils who had never skied before to ones who ski every winter.

Apres-ski
La Plagne has plenty of activities to keep your group entertained in the evenings. The exciting apres-ski options available at the resort range from bowling, cinema, pizza nights & much more!
A fantastic way to finish the week, which I arranged for my group, is for ESF to award all the pupils on the last day of skiing followed by crepes on the mountain.
The resort also has a free shuttle that runs from Plagne Centre – Bellecote – Montalbert throughout the day and early evening so there is plenty to explore.
