A trip abroad with a school party can be a good chance for pupils to try out something new – and one of the best activities to try on an educational getaway is skiing.

With so many destinations in Europe ideal for skiing and which are also easy to reach from the UK, school ski trips are definitely worth considering for a trip abroad.

STS Travel ski tours are run by its sister firm Ski Plan and for those who fancy something a little more exotic than Europe, there is the option to head to a world famous ski resort such as Banff or Jasper in Canada or Diamond Peak in the US.

STS Travel offers a wide range of skiing trips and with multiple school ski destinations, you are sure to find somewhere to go that suits your pupils.

The numerous ski resorts which the firm offers trips to also mean that no matter where in the UK your school is located, you can conveniently hop across the pond to Europe's top ski destinations.

However, STS Travel also runs school ski trips to far-flung destinations such as the US and Canada, so the choice is yours.

In Europe, pupils can spend a week whizzing down the slopes of French resorts including La Plagne, Risoul, Tignes, Vars, Chatel and Les Deux Alpes.

A trip to Austria can include skiing in St Johann, Zell am See, Gerlitzen or Nassfield. STS Travel also runs skiing getaways to Italy, with resorts such as Aprica, Chiesa and La Polsa among those on its itinerary.

One of the top priorities for those seeking the right destination for a school trip is the safety of pupils, and STS Travel can guarantee that a break to a skiing resort will be conducted with the security of pupils in mind at all times, from the coaches used to take children around to the ski instructors tasked with helping pupils find their snow legs.
