On Snow Experience
If you’re looking to focus on improving your technique, this on piste development holiday might just be the perfect trip for you. The holiday includes 6 full days of on piste instruction. Each group will spend 2-days with each instructor who will help refine and perfect your on piste technique. You’ll be skiing full days (of course broken up with coffee stops & a mountainside lunch) and will be split into groups based on your ski profile. At the end of the week you’ll be given an updated ski grade from your instructor or Ski Club Rep.

Charlotte Markus
Hi, I’m Charlotte Markus, an International Ski instructor and an International mountain leader. Grateful for and very priviledged to be able to share what I love the most -a part from my family; my passion for skiing and for the mountains with as many of you as possible.
My focus when teaching is using everyone's skills as a frame from where we build on new sensations and movements, widening the comfort zone step by step as opposed to getting out of it, is what throughout all my years of teaching and coaching I’ve found works the best. I’m a strong believer in the need of joy and comfort, in confidence we learn so much faster and better. I look forward to skiing with you. See you in the snow shortly!
Richard Wood
1st trip aged 11 with SCGB to Scotland....a few leisure trips in early 20's...fast forward to 1999 when rugby playing days ended...started trying to improve as a skier rather than ski simply to enjoy the après ski....lucky enough to have got through the rep's course in 2004 and since then have enjoyed many wonderful days on and off the slopes with fellow ski enthusiasts. Off piste, on piste and afterwards ... skiing ... love it. Chartered Surveyor, self employed.

Tignes shares the huge Tignes-Val d’Isère ski area with its eponymous neighbour Val d’Isère. Between the two there are 300km of pistes for all abilities, ranging from long gentle greens to seriously steep off piste. The lift system is very good after a lot of investment in recent years and even if the natural white stuff is lacking, a powerful snowmaking system and the Grande Motte Glacier ensure that snow reliability is as good as it gets.There are four separate villages to choose from. If you’re looking for guaranteed snow, good value accommodation, a lively nightlife and maximum practicality then Val Claret and Le Lac are your best bets. For a quieter, wooded setting then either Les Boisses and Les Brévières make a great base – especially for families.

Pros and cons
-
Fantastic snow record – the best early-season bet
-
Loads of great, varied terrain shared with Val
-
Large areas of lift served off piste
-
Lots of convenient, ski-in-ski-out accommodation
- Bleak, treeless setting with lifts prone to closure in bad weather
- Still a few long, slow chairlifts that need replacing
- Quite a long transfer and road prone to closure in snowstorms
- Resort can appear a bit stark and high-rise for some
Hotel Le Diva
You will be staying at Hotel le Diva located in the heart of Val Claret, close to the lifts and almost (but not quite!) ski in ski out. You’ll be staying for 7 nights on a half board basis, including a plentiful buffet breakfast & dinner. This holiday is on a twin share basis. If you are a solo traveller, then you will be placed in a room with someone of the same gender. Single rooms may be available upon request. These are subject to our hotel room allowance. If you require a single room, please book early to avoid disappointment.

It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday.
We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain
If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
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. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Passport – Check your passport is in date and valid for travel by checking the entry requirements for your destination country – you can see these here: Foreign travel advice – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

- have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
- have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave the Schengen area
Check your passport meets these requirements before you travel.
NB: Starting in 2025 (Date TBC) travel authorisation will be required to travel withing Europe – find out more here ETIAS (europa.eu)
