Tignes, Full-time Ski
This was a heavenly experience for all the senses. Travelling solo with UCPA is really cool, because it doesn't take long to make friends who will most likely be part of my circle for a long time to come.

Les Arcs, Expert off-piste skiing
A fantastic experience. My first trip with UCPA and my first time with a guide in amazing off-piste conditions, with the best weather and brilliant friends, new and old. It really doesn't get much better than this.

It was absolutely fantastic, even magical! Such a great combination of beautiful scenery, loads of snow, long pistes, a great vibe and fun new friends, plus lots of experiences beyond the skiing, which I've got better at! UCPA has really made it easier

Argentière, Off-piste Snowboarding
Fantastic riding. I went off-piste snowboarding and our guide Alexis Font was phenomenal at finding untouched snow. Argentiere gave us several decimetres of fresh snow, making the off-piste riding pure joy! I fell in love with the Chamonix valley!

Serre Chevalier, Rando Clarée
A fantastic week in the mountains. I joined the Clarée - Thabor tour and our guide Lionel always made the best of the situation, finding the best routes up and the best runs down. It always felt safe, whatever the slope or the weather. The group's make-up

Chamonix, EPIC Ski student
An incredibly successful trip with a close friend, but also lots of new people to get to know during the week. The best skiing I've ever experienced and an incredibly inspiring instructor. The food was also beyond expectations. Would love to come back!
