Welcome to our FAQs page. Detailed here you will find detailed answers to all the questions we are regularly asked. If, after having read through, your question is still unanswered, please either call us on +44 (0)1623 456333 or send us an email to goskiing@interski.co.uk.
We offer a range of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. Choices include self-catering apartments and bed and breakfast packages. We also offer hotels with all meals included (including hot snack lunch on the mountain).
Insurance is not included as part of your package, but it is a requirement to have adequate cover in place. There are many comparison websites offering competitive rates or you may already have a policy in place. Please carefully examine the cover and ensure it is suitable for the general requirements of a winter sports holiday and for your individual needs. Regretfully, we are unable to offer insurance advice so if you have any queries, please contact your insurer directly.
Our in-house brand, Interski Rental, offers ski clothing rental. The suits are pre-ordered in the UK, delivered to your hotel prior to your arrival and collected at the end of the stay. Children aged 7-15 qualify for FREE ski suit rental.
Wearing helmets is a legal requirement for anyone under the age of 18 participating in snowsports in most countries. We can provide helmet hire as part of any package.
Yes! In addition to the standard ranges of equipment, it is also possible to pay for an upgrade. Upgrades should be booked in advance.
Children aged 7-15 years qualify for a £50 discount on all full week packages. They will also receive FREE ski, boot, ski suit and helmet hire. Children under 7 travel at 50% of the brochure price but would need to hire equipment etc if required. Infants (under 2) travel for just £150. Prices are based on the age of the child on the day of return.
Yes, some resorts we use offer a range of childcare options. As childcare is very specific to each family, please contact us to discuss in more detail and we can happily make suggestions as to the best hotels and resorts that we believe to be the most suitable for young children.
The Aosta Valley is one of the closest overland ski areas to the UK. It is just 10/11 hours overland from Calais. Both journeys are overnight and breakfast is included en route in each direction. Blankets and pillows are provided - yours to keep. Andorra is slightly further, taking around 13/14 hours.
Coaches depart the UK on a Saturday, catching an evening ferry from Dover to Calais. A breakfast stop (included in the cost of your package) is provided early on the Sunday morning. Clients normally arrive in resort round about lunchtime on the Sunday. Skiing takes place from Monday to Friday inclusive. Rooms for showering will be made available on the final day if required. Coaches will depart resort on Friday evening, ready for an early morning ferry on the Saturday (breakfast provided) before travelling onwards. 5 nights' accommodation is normally included in the package.
Please email us at goskiing@interskiholidays.co.uk.
You can travel on ANY DAY of the week. Ski for 2, 3 or 4 days, and stay for 3, 4 or 5 nights. Our popular short break packages include accommodation, meals (depending on board basis), lift pass, equipment rental and ski suit hire. We can organise return transfers from Turin, Milan Malpensa or Geneva. Simply book your own flights and we'll take care of the rest!
Unfortunately not, as all costs remain the same regardless of age on short breaks and we've included lots of extras free of charge, to make these the most convenient and flexible packages available.
The transfer price is fixed per person and remains the same regardless of group size, due to our using different vehicle types where possible to suit the number of people being collected or dropped off – therefore not affecting the costs involved.
You will qualify for 50% discount on equipment hire for everyone if you have a group of 10+ full paying passengers. If you have a party of 20+ full paying passengers, equipment hire is free of charge.
We are delighted to welcome corporate groups and there's definitely nowhere better to bring people together! Just let us know your requirements and we'll tailor-make a package to suit. Have a look at our dedicated web page - Corporate Ski Trips.

Yes, private tuition is available at very competitive prices. We do recommend pre-booking the first few hours, adding in extra lessons in resort if you wish. It is available on a 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 or maximum 1:4 basis. In addition, we can also offer a full day of private tuition and a full week.
We can provide junior group lessons for children aged 7-15 years. This is a 24hr package + lunchtime supervision (5hrs each day and 4hrs on the last day). Unfortunately, we are unable to accept children under the age of 7 years, other than on a private lesson basis. Alternatively, the local ski schools may be able to assist, or there are excellent crèches in all our resorts.
All instructors are qualified to a minimum BASI Level 2, or national equivalentand are all English-speaking.
The agre of your children will affect which tuition options are availabile to you. Please speak to us and we'd be happy to discuss and recommend packages with you.

It is obviously impossible to make any guarantees about the weather, but the resorts we use are high altitude and have exceptional snow records, both early and late season.
There is plenty for non-skiers to do in the Aosta Valley – we'll be delighted to offer advice. Similarly, Andorra has plenty to offer.
