On Snow Experience

The holiday includes 3 days of on piste instruction from the top team at SnowPros ski school. Utilise access to incredible local instructors who will help refine and perfect your on piste technique. You’ll be skiing full days (of course broken up with coffee stops & a mountainside lunch). On your final day you are free to choose whether to have a leisurely travel day or to pack in a final day on the slopes alongside the Rep and other members before a late flight home. Villars offers an enticing variety of terrain, with over 125km of pistes that extend to the impressive heights of Glacier 3000, accessible via connections through Les Diablerets.

Angus Maciver

I love skiing and love the mountains and outdoors generally. I am originally from Fort William in the Highlands which is probably where the passion developed. I now live in Windsor as well as during the winter spending a lot of time in the Alps - mainly in Villars-sur-Ollons as well as trips to other resorts. I've been a member of the Ski Club since the early noughties and helped out on Council in 2019 and as the interim General Manager in 2020. In 2018 I did the Leaders Course which was a great thing to do and I have enjoyed being a Rep since. I've found over the years that I enjoy helping others to make the most of their ski day, hope to meet you over a beer or on the slopes this season!

Holiday FAQs

Everything you need to know about Freshtracks holidays.

What is a Freshtracks holiday?

Freshtracks holidays are group ski trips organised by the Ski Club of Great Britain for solo travellers, couples, and friends who want to ski with like-minded people. We offer social skiing, instructional, off piste, and touring holidays. On all holidays, a dedicated Freshtracks Rep will be on hand to make sure the holiday runs smoothly.

Find out more here – Holidays – Ski Club Of Great Britain.

Are single rooms available?

Single room availability will be shown in the "View Dates & Prices" tab on each holiday page, located under the holiday name. If single rooms are available, this will be clearly stated there. If no single room option is listed, unfortunately this means they have already sold out.

Sometimes we can request additional single rooms from the hotel. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

When will I receive my final holiday itinerary and information?

This information is usually sent out 7-10 days before departure. It will include your final itinerary, Freshtracks Rep contact details, and any important information relating to your transfers, flights, and accommodation, depending on what is included in your specific package.

I am unsure of my ski profile. How do I know what profile I am?

Freshtracks holidays use a ski profiling system to ensure you’re skiing alongside members of a similar ability, creating well-matched groups and a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

We recommend reviewing our Ski Profile page and selecting the profile you feel best represents your current skiing. The profiles are there to help us place you on the right holiday, so please choose honestly to ensure you get the most out of your time on the slopes.

Our Ski Profiles

If you’ve been on a Freshtracks holiday before, your Rep will give you an official grading at the end of the week. This will be recorded on our system and available to view in your Ski Locker.

Do I need to be an expert skier to join a Freshtracks trip?

No. Freshtracks holidays cater to a wide range of skiing abilities, from early intermediates to advanced skiers. Each trip includes detailed information about the recommended ski level so you can choose the right holiday for your ability.

I'm a solo traveller. Would I be suitable for a Freshtracks holiday?

Absolutely. The majority of Freshtracks guests travel solo – in fact, 85% of our guests last winter were solo travellers.

Our holidays are specifically designed to help you meet other passionate skiers and feel part of the group from the start. Group dining, organised skiing and fun social activities all help to create a friendly, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making Freshtracks an ideal choice for anybody travelling alone.

Are lift passes and ski rental included in the holidays?

Ski rental is not included on Freshtracks holidays and is arranged separately. That said, Ski Club of Great Britain members enjoy access to a number of ski hire discounts, which can be found on our Discounts page.

Ski Club of GB Rental Discounts

Please note that inclusions differ by holiday when it comes to lift passes, so it’s important to check the Essential Info tab beneath the holiday title, as well as the "What’s Included" and "What’s Not Included" sections at the top of the holiday overview page.

I have a group flight included. How do I check in?

For Freshtracks holidays that include group flights, it is not possible to check in online beforehand. You simply need to turn up to a manned check-in desk with your passport on the day, where you will be checked in and issued with a physical boarding pass.

Make sure you read the full travel information in the Travel tab and, once you have booked, keep an eye out for your final information document. This will provide further details on your baggage allowance.

If flights are included, can I bring a ski bag?

Ski carriage cannot be pre-booked and is payable at the airport.

We are ATOL and ABTOT protected so you can book with confidence knowing your money is secure.

Our holidays are a great way to meet and ski with other members of a similar ability to you.
