Saint-Véran school ski trip, France

St Veran is found in the Queyras region of the Haute Alpes close to Vars and about 40km south of Briancon which is at the foot of the Serre Chevalier system. The resort is a traditional French mountain village which has developed as a ski resort. What makes St Veran stand out as a resort is its height; at well over 2000m, it is one of the highest, non-purpose-built, ski resorts and also the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe.

The area is especially good for beginners and intermediates. The Queyras ski pass covers 100km of pistes, 30km of which are at St Veran and the rest accessible by bus. Due to its height, the area has a consistent snow record throughout the season. For school groups willing to use their coach to access the slopes, this has to be the best value to be had in the high French alps and we have got some cracking deals for school groups, including a great price for February half term.
