Your Holiday

At Classic Ski we aim to give you a stress-free holiday so that you can enjoy wonderful skiing in the company of friendly, like-minded people. 

All the resorts have an excellent record of good snow and offer a wide range of skiing. 

The quality hotels offer excellent facilities and are very close to the pistes and lifts. 

Most of our clients are aged between 45 and 70 (at present the record stands at 83 years!). A friendly, relaxed atmosphere is quickly built up within our resort groups, beginning with the initial hospitality evening. 

At Classic Ski we take care of everything - equipment hire, ski passes, tuition, insurance, hotels, flights and transfers.
 

Transport

By travelling midweek or on Sundays the usual pressures and delays are avoided.

 All flights are on scheduled British Airways routes to Geneva, either from Gatwick or Manchester.  We are also pleased to be able to offer connecting flights from many regional airports at very favourable rates. 

Our representatives will meet you at the airport check-in before departure; and the ski instructors (who also act as your resort reps.) will greet you on arrival in Geneva.  With our morning flights you should reach the resort early enough to ski on the day you arrive.

 Transfers from Geneva to our resorts by minibus or coach normally take about 1.5 hours.

 

Ski Lessons

Tuition groups are deliberately kept small - no more than 6 people are assigned to each instructor.  All of Guy's team are very experienced and speak excellent English. 

Groups meet for five hours tuition each day* - times may vary from day to day according to the wishes and stamina of the party members.  When accompanied by an instructor, skiers have priority on the lifts.  All instructors carry two-way radios. 

The Ski Evolutif method is used for beginners where skiers start with short skis and progress to longer ones as they gain ability and confidence. 

Clients are assured of being guided to the best skiing areas available.  Powder skiing off-piste is offered when conditions are suitable. 

For the more adventurous, extra activities such as paragliding, snow scooter rides and ballooning can be arranged, and even helicopter flights at Flaine.  Your instructor can organize these at special discount rates. 

* If, unusually, there is only one person at a particular level they will have 2 hours individual tuition.

 

Equipment

 The holiday price includes the hire of top quality boots and skis.  Your instructor will accompany you to help and advise on fitting.  If you are bringing your own equipment, a deduction of £15 will be made for boots and £30 for skis.


Lift Passes

Normally, beginners in Flaine do not need a lift pass until 2 or 3 days into the holiday as the lifts on the nursery slopes are free. 

To save time in the resort, other skiers may like to pre-book a lift pass.  If you wish us to arrange this for you please advise us when booking. We shall need a passport type photograph from you when you make your final payment.
