Trip Overview

The land of pasta, pizza and incredible skiing!.

Italy is one of the premier destinations for school ski trips and with good reason. Italy is host to some of the best ski resorts in Europe with the Alps and Dolomites dominating the Northern and Western areas of the country. Italy also holds a special place in our heart as it's the country where we first began offering school ski trips, way back in Winter 1983/84. We've traditionally specialised in the Aosta Valley, which is incidentally the smallest of Italy's 20 regions and with a semi-autonomous government.

One of the greatest things about Italy, apart from the food, is the incredible scenery - the perfect canvas for your school ski trip! The skiing here has something for everyone, so whether you're looking for the chic and style of Courmayeur, the vast ski area of La Thuile, the superb progression of Pila or the Italian Three Valleys in Gressoney, the perfect ski trip is waiting for your group.

All of our school ski trips are run through our sister company, Interski.

What Other Schools Thought of Their Trip

An excellent experience from start to finish. Having travelled with Interski for many years, I was excited to see that they are now offering Summer trips for schools too. We chose them to arrange our recent Y8 and 9 trip to Stratford. From booking to the organisation of the trip itself, Interschool Travel delivered the very best service. I have come to expect the very best when skiing and now know that I can get the same excellence when organising educational trips in the UK and overseas. I will certainly be booking with them again.

Impeccable service throughout. Completely faultless. Nothing was too much trouble. Personal bespoke package tailored to our needs.

Sarah Ellis

We visited Paris for 3 nights with Interschool Travel in October '24. From the initial conversations regarding my vision for this trip, to the trip itself, every aspect has been faultless with impeccable organisation and communication. The staff were able to enjoy the trip hassle free as everything was arranged/organised/planned etc by our trip co-ordinator...it's the first school residential I've come home from without feeling utterly wiped out! We will definitely be working with Interschool Travel again and feel assured that we'll have another amazing trip when we do so! Thanks Interschool Travel, you're 10/10!
