The supplement for a single room is from €/£140 and it is considerably higher in the USA. This is always subject to availability.

Ski Equipment & Ski School

All ski hire equipment providers follow international standards regarding age/height/weight/ability and equipment is of a high standard. All ski schools are registered as official ski schools, and all instructors hold the required qualifications.

Morning and afternoon ski lessons are recommended to all groups. Some have this already added to their basic tour cost. For those that don’t, we ask you to take afternoon lessons as they offer students the best opportunity to progress in a controlled, safe and professional environment.

The local ski school in all resorts will confirm lesson times generally prior to a group’s arrival in resort. They may alter these from time to time during the course of the week. Topflight for Schools will be happy to request preferred timings for a group, however the ski school will make the final decision. Ski lessons in Italy/Austria generally consist of 55 mins per hour.

The ski package price is based on group lessons of 11/12 people per instructor. Please note that ski instructors are allocated based on the total group number. In the case where levels may fluctuate and an extra instructor is required, a supplement may apply.

A minimum group size of 11 snowboarders of similar level is required in order to dedicate an instructor to a snowboarding group. There is an extra supplement for snowboard hire that will be advised at the time of sale.

Please note smaller groups are on request basis only and an additional supplement will apply.
