UCPA's own centers are located in the best ski resorts in the French Alps. Here you'll find hostel-style accommodation with a bar, dining area and plenty of communal spaces to mingle in the evening.
If you haven't skied with us before, you're in for an extraordinary experience. A week of high class skiing, good food and fun socializing. An adventure many people relive year after year - they just change ski resort and center.
Everything is included!
Our ambition is for you to get the most out of your stay, so we think it's extra important that everything is included when you book one of our trips. When you travel with UCPA, accommodation, meals, lift passes, equipment & skiing with instructor are always included.
Community
You are never alone when you travel with UCPA. It's easy to make new friends while socializing during the activity, at the dinner table and in the evenings. Our UCPA centers create a wonderful community of like-minded people and it's not unusual to leave with friends for life.
Certified instructor
UCPA's instructors and mountain guides have several years of advanced training in skiing/snowboarding and mountain skills. The instructors are not play leaders but happy professionals who love their job. This is truly something out of the ordinary and will help you maximize your trip to the French Alps!
Become a better skier!
With us, you get to ride more and harder than most people think they can. We offer skiing for all levels. Whether you've never stood on a pair of skis before or you want to develop your technique, we have something for you!
This has been a heavenly experience for all senses. Traveling alone with UCPA is really cool, because it doesn't take long to find friends who will most likely be part of my circle of acquaintances for a long time to come.
