Instructors and Ski Club Rep
Ian Caldwell
I started skiing at the age of 25 then taking a long break from skiing until my early 40's, as a consequence I can empathise with late starters. The Ski Club has provided a great environment to improve my ski skills, enjoying days on-piste with friends as well as developing a taste for the back country and off-piste. It has given me opportunities to ski in wonderful places meeting a variety of like-minded people. For me skiing is about making the most of the mountain and having fun! In addition to skiing, in the summer I enjoy the outdoors walking as well as being a regular cyclist. If we haven't met already, I hope to meet you on the slopes.
Tchenko
Tchenko is a renowned ski instructor in the Tignes-Val d'Isere area known for his expertise and dedication. He excels at teaching skiers of all levels, focusing on safety, skill development, and enjoyment, making each lesson both effective and memorable.

Skiing for me
It’s not only a sport;
It’s a way of life
Uffe Ysten
Born on the west coast of Sweden where we had a bit of snow, but no hills! I quickly found my way to the alps, where I started doing winter seasons in the mid 80’s. Been living in Val D’ISERE for 35 years and a regular guide for the Ski Club for about 20 years I love to share my experience off and on piste in one of the best areas in the world! Looking forward to another great season with heaps of snow!

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 on a half board basis, a hotel very well located in the heart of Val Claret, close to the lifts and almost (but not quite!) ski in ski out. This holiday is on a single occupancy basis. You will therefore be placed in a room on your own for the duration of the trip. If you would prefer to share a room with someone you know, then please contact the Freshtracks office and we will make the relevant arrangements.

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.
