Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective.

Angus Maciver, July 8, 2024
Last year was my first time skiing in Serre Chevalier and I’m hoping to go out again this year! It really surprised me as although the base is at the lower end, it is mostly north facing and has lots of off-piste options – some steep though not too deep when I was there. The Instructors from Ski Connections were just super fun and found things every day to develop and challenge, including a fun trip up to La Grave which was definitely worth doing. If you want a variety of terrain, great instruction, a fun time and a bit of challenge it’s for you!
