We hope teachers will derive as much enjoyment and satisfaction from the ski course as the pupils. Whether this is your first time taking a school group to the slopes or if you're an experienced party leader, we hope the following information will help you during all stages of your trip.
In this section we hope to answer some of the questions you may have concerning what is included in our prices; learn about our special offers; how to book your school ski trip and all the practical questions including information on free supervisory places, teachers' inspection visits and how Equity can help you promote your tour.

Free Supervisory Places
Supervision is easier if children are organised in groups of 10 with 1 member of staff to each group. When you book with Equity, you will have 1 free supervisory place for every 10 full paying members by Air and 1 free supervisory place for every 8 full paying members by Coach (prices based on a minimum of 40 paying members).
If you book and confirm 43 full paying passengers and are travelling by coach you are entitled to 6 free supervisory places.
Mixed Groups
Parents are always welcome to join but we must review the price if they form a greater ratio than 1:8. We will then offer a special quotation based on our Adult Ski Holiday programme.

Promoting your Tour
You will receive comprehensive material that will cover everything you need to launch your school tour. Launch packs include posters, parent/pupil information and details of the proposed ski trip. In addition to all of this you will receive assistance from our experienced team of office staff and we are also happy to offer support with parents’ evenings.
Teachers' Inspection Visits
For many teachers a visit to the resort is an important part of pre-trip preparations and we can make all the arrangements for a preview trip. This could be part of a group or individual visit. Contact us for more information on how we can organise an inspection visit.
