Ski2011
The 2011 Ski and Snowboarding trip is scheduled to take place on Friday 18th February to Saturday 26th February, in Arosa, Switzerland. The cost of skiing (£775) and snowboarding (£805) includes transport by coach (which is fully belted with DVD and toilet), full-board hotel accommodation, winter sports insurance, hire of ski/snowboard equipment, helmet (plus wrist guards for snowboarders), 6 day lift pass,S hours per day ski/snowboard lessons and all evening activities. There are 47 spaces available for students on a 53 seater coach. We aim to take a mix of boys and girls of differing ages, and take skiers and snowboarders with a range of experience. |
 |
| The trip has run successfully for many years as
a result of the student-mix, and the high expectations of standards of behaviour that we have of the students.
The trip is in half term but is an educational trip, not a holiday, and the College Behaviour Management Policy applies. |

The Resort
Arosa is a classic winter resort situated in a sheltered basin, at the head of a beautiful wooded valley. The trip up from
Chur involves a train journey up to the resort. Arosa sits at 1800m and has plenty of open slopes above the tree line,

area stretches over 3 peaks -the Hornli, the Weisshorn and the Bruggerhorn.
Accommodation
Our accommodation is in the Florentinium Mountain Lodge Hotel, set amidst pine trees in an elevated position with
spectacular views. Intermediate and advanced skiers can ski straight from the door! It is a 10 minute walk down to
shops and the town centre.

hours more tuition. Evening activities might include ice skating, bum boarding, bingo, a torchlight walk, a laser show
