Grad Ski Trip booking

February 3rd, 2011 · No Comments · Blog

Dear Grads,

The Grad Ski Trip booking deadline is upon us! We’re very excited for the trip and hope that you’ll be joining us for a week of fantastic skiing/snowboarding, après-ski, barbecues, night-tobogganing, and so much more!

In case you missed the memo, the Cambridge Graduate Union is excited to announce that the second annual Ski Trip is taking place from March 18th – 26th, 2011! We are going to Val d’Isère, France, one of Europe’s premier ski resorts, host of this year’s Alpine Skiing World Cup, with a huge variety of terrain options and great après-ski!

Even if you’ve never skied before in your life, this trip is a wonderful opportunity to learn (lessons and ski hire are all available!), to enjoy the breathtaking surroundings and meet new people!

All included in the basic price of £429:

- Executive coach travel directly to Val d’Isere

- Accommodation in apartments close to the slopes for between 4-6 people, each complete with cooking facilities and ensuite showers/toilets.

- 6 day extended ski pass for the entire Espace Killy, which covers both Val d’Isère and Tignes.

- Loads of après-ski & drinks deals!

Val d’Isere is one of the premier ski resorts in the Alps. It is situated in the Tarentaise Valley in France near the Italian and Swiss borders. Val d’Isere and Tignes offer one of the largest extents of skiing in the Alps (300 km), and there are plenty of options for both the beginner and the expert. For more details on the ski resort itself see their website http://www.valdisere.com/

The ski trip is open to all graduate and mature students and their partners and friends.

The last day to book is tomorrow, February 4th, 2011! You can sign up at www.studentskiing.com and quote the code ‘gradunion’.

Feel free to email us at skitrip2011@gradunion.cam.ac.uk if you have any questions!

We can’t wait to see you there!
