School trips built for curriculum, compliance, and confidence — and progression trips built for individuals who want to genuinely improve on snow. Both delivered to the same exacting standard.
First Track offers two distinct programmes. Use the links above to jump straight to the one that fits you, or scroll through to understand both — many families choose to combine pre-trip indoor preparation with an Alpine progression week regardless of which programme they select.
Fully managed, week-long programmes combining lodge accommodation, structured ski instruction, lift passes, transfers, and evening activities — tailored to your school's curriculum and budget. Delivered compliantly and professionally, every time.
En-suite rooms in handpicked alpine lodges, with full board and a structured evening programme. Lovell Camp & Academy in Gstaad is our flagship school partner.
Up to 5 hours of instruction per day with English-speaking, qualified instructors. Groups are ability-banded and given daily objectives — not just pointed down the mountain.
Full-area lift passes for the duration of the trip, included in the all-in package price.
Airport-to-lodge transfers arranged and managed. We work with partners who have their own minibus fleets and established transfer networks.
A structured après-ski programme — swimming, ice-skating, climbing, and cultural activities — keeping pupils engaged and well-supervised after the slopes close.
Templates, parent letters, and information packs to make the school's internal process as smooth as possible.
We operate on the STF/LOtC pathway. The DfE-endorsed LOtC Quality Badge means our H&S systems have been independently audited — removing the need for schools to re-audit us.
Risk assessments, insurance certificates, and safeguarding documentation available for school review on request.
All First Track staff and in-resort supervisors are DBS cleared.
Child protection policy available for school review before booking.
Both in-resort and UK-based emergency contacts for all school groups.
Public liability and professional indemnity insurance in place prior to first booking.
Small-group, intensive on-snow improvement programmes for motivated individuals who want to genuinely advance their skiing. Whether you're a teen looking to break through a plateau, an adult who trained at Skieasy and is ready for real snow, or a complete beginner who wants to learn properly — these trips are designed for you.
Small-group, intensive on-snow improvement programmes for motivated teenage skiers. Built around daily skill assessment and a structured end-of-week progression review — so participants know exactly where they started, and how far they've come.
Curated group weeks for adult beginners and improvers. Particularly well-suited to clients of Skieasy (Chiswick) who have built indoor technique on the treadmill and are ready to translate that into real Alpine skiing.
We strongly recommend that all progression trip participants — particularly beginners and early improvers — complete a block of Skieasy sessions before travelling to the Alps. Skieasy's revolving ski treadmill in Chiswick, London, allows participants to build muscle memory, learn to stop and turn, and arrive on snow with genuine foundations.
Comfortable, well-located accommodation — chosen for proximity to terrain suited to intensive progression work.
Qualified, English-speaking instructors who understand progression goals, not just lesson delivery. Groups are ability-matched and size is kept small.
Each day ends with a skill review — what worked, what to focus on tomorrow, and how the group is progressing collectively.
Full-area passes and airport transfers included in the package price.
A formal written progression review for each participant — what level they started at, what they achieved, and recommended next steps.
First Track has an exclusive progression pathway for Skieasy clients. Train in London through the winter, book an Alps week with us in spring — and arrive knowing how to ski.
