An Alpine adventure to remember

ElementalUK runs its famous school ski trips throughout the winter season to a range of hand-picked resorts in the French and Italian Alps.

Schools re-book year after year because we know just what makes a school ski holiday into the trip of a lifetime. Our MD Dany Duncan has been working in the mountains for almost 40 years and his experience really shines through, with hand-picked resorts, welcoming hotels, experienced instructors, student-safe ski areas, a full programme of après-ski activities and round-the-clock back-up from the Elemental team.

What do other schools say?

Gavin Roberts
East Barnet School
“Fifteen years of consecutive bookings tell their own story. Safety, value for money and personal service really are the key points for any school trip. Using a trusted company in a trusted resort makes life a whole lot easier.”

Steve Savill
Falmouth School
“Our trip to Les Orres with Elemental was the best ever. It ran smoothly and was an absolute pleasure for all.”

Roland Craig
RGS Newcastle
“I have been delighted with the number of pupils who have mentioned that the Alps trip was the highlight of the year. We knew they’d had had a fantastic time, but when I read the accounts and opinions of each of our skiers it became evident that they had gained so much. More than simply six days of skiing, they referred to the journey, the staff, the hotel and each activity as having been superb. Your company has, once again, made a difference and we will be eagerly booking again for next year.”
