EPIC Ski Student
Package trips for students aged 18-25. These programmes are offered at most of our resorts and on most weeks. You generally ski part-time, but apart from the great price, these trips are no different from our other holidays.
EPIC Ski 18-30
This concept is perfect for you if you want to experience everything the French Alps have to offer, together with others your own age. The maximum age is 30, and you don't have to be a student. You get a total of 5 hours of guided skiing, with the option to add extra skiing on or off piste.
Student groups
We also offer special trips for larger student groups. For more information, contact us or send an enquiry here.

UCPA - Freely translated to English as "National Federation for Sports and Outdoor Centers" - has a history of over 50 years. It is, in short, a non-profit, all-French organization supported by, among others, the French state. The purpose is to give ordinary people the opportunity to learn and develop in one or more sports together, in pleasant and unpretentious forms. The organization has about 80 centers in France and the West Indies, 28 of them are located at well-known winter sports resorts in the French Alps.

Val Thorens
UCPA's highest centre is, of course, in Europe's highest ski resort, Val Thorens. Right on the slopes, ski-in ski-out, it's perfectly placed for being first on the lift every morning. Here you'll find the Alps' biggest nightclub (Amnesia) as well as Folie Douce, with its saxophonist playing live every day (think lots of champagne + ski boot dancing on the tables)
Val d'Isère
Here you'll also find a Folie Douce (the original!) as well as Cocorico, just a stone's throw from the UCPA centre. If you prefer a more laid-back après-ski, you'll find Saloon, Warm up, Dicks T and La Barraque too!
Chamonix
After a day on Chamonix's snow-covered slopes, après-ski is a must. Visit the legendary La Folie Douce, known for its high-octane atmosphere and live music, a perfect place to dance away the tiredness from a day of skiing. Don't miss Chambre Neuf either, a favourite among Scandinavians!
If you haven't travelled with us before, an extraordinary experience awaits. A week of top-quality skiing, great food and good company. An adventure many relive year after year – they just switch resort and centre.
Ski groups that suit you
Skiing with an instructor is included and is an important part of your trip. Here you get the chance to improve your skills and explore the mountains with like-minded people.
Meet new friends
A UCPA trip is a social experience where, besides skiing, you can join activities around the centres and get the chance to meet new friends from all over the world.
Perfect for groups of mixed levels
Skiing with an instructor is available at five different levels, from beginner to expert. Instead of waiting for each other on the slopes, hang out together in the evenings!
Bad weather pros
On bad weather days, the instructors are invaluable. As long as the lifts are open, you ski. Guaranteed!
Après-ski
At our ski resorts across the French Alps there's always a good selection of après-ski for everyone. The best après-ski can be found in Chamonix, Val d'Isère and Val Thorens.
Qualified instructors
Make the most of your skiing! UCPA's instructors know the resort best and know where to find the best runs of the day.
