Holidays are a great excuse to travel, and during any school break, whether it's Christmas or Easter, taking a trip with your classmates can be one of the best plans - especially if you're closing one school chapter and beginning a new stage in your lives. Talk to your mates and get ready to dive into the magnificent world of snow.
Christmas holidays - a perfect excuse
This Christmas holiday period typically lasts about three weeks, and it's when many families choose to enjoy snow sports.
That said, don't forget that snow can last well into spring, so between December and March you can organise a trip you'll always remember for its intensity, fun and excitement.
Where do I start organising my trip?
The first thing you'll need to do is decide how many people are coming. If you're underage, talk to your parents or guardians and make an approximate list of travellers, as this will help significantly when enquiring about prices.
Next, think about ways to raise money so your stay at the ski resort costs you as little as possible. For example, you could take advantage of upcoming festivities by selling traditional Christmas lottery tickets, shortbread biscuits, hats or anything else you can think of. Family and people around you will generally be happy to help in these cases.
And most importantly, without a doubt, is choosing the ski resort that best suits your needs. The choice should be made by vote, as this system ensures most of you will agree on the destination. Others will have to accept that you can't always get what you want, and ultimately, what matters most is enjoying time with classmates and friends, wherever you go.
On our platform, we can offer you the opportunity to enjoy different facilities across Spain. You can get ski passes for various resorts in Andorra, Lleida, Huesca, Granada, Madrid and Cantabria. Here you'll also find a wide variety of activities and services, including courses for different adventure sports like snowboarding.
It's entirely up to you to choose your favourite - you can do this directly through our directory. In just seconds you can request a quote to see which destination suits you best.
What should I pack for my end-of-year trip?
Once everything's decided (ski resort, length of stay, roommates etc.), all that's left is to wait for the date to approach and pack your bags.
Don't forget essential items like proper snow gear to keep you warm, snow gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen (crucial because snow reflects sunlight and could burn you) plus a hat just in case. You'll find the rest of the equipment at the ski resort, and in the courses they offer you'll learn how to use it and perform real winter sports tricks.
We hope these recommendations prove useful. Remember our ski resort community is available to answer any questions you might have. It'll be a trip to remember!
