Over the beginning of the Easter break, a group of enthusiastic students from set off for an unforgettable adventure in the snowy peaks of Pampeago, nestled in the stunning Valle di Fiemme region of northern Italy.
From the very first day, the ski trip was packed with energy, excitement, and rapid progress. For some, it was their first time strapping on skis-but that didn’t stop them from mastering the slopes with incredible speed. Thanks to expert instruction from the resort’s fantastic ski instructors, students went from cautious beginners to confident skiers in just a matter of days, even competing in a ski slalom race after just three days on the slopes!
The snow conditions were nothing short of perfect. Crisp, fresh powder blanketed the mountains, providing the ideal surface for learning and carving through the ski runs. Combined with clear blue skies and panoramic alpine views, every moment on the mountain felt like something out of a postcard.
When the skis were off, the fun continued. The hotel offered a warm and welcoming home base with a brilliant four course Italian dinner service, comfy rooms, and plenty of space to relax and socialise. Whether it was evening activities, sharing stories from the slopes, or simply enjoying the spectacular Italian hot chocolate, the atmosphere was always buzzing from start to finish.
More than just a holiday, the trip was a chance to challenge fears, try something new, and build friendships in an unforgettable setting. Students returned home with skills, lasting memories and stories to tell for years to come.
Whilst we had a long journey, it was very much a part of the adventure, with entertainment throughout from DJ Ratchford, singing, snacking, all whilst passing through four different countries and taking in the incredible views and scenery.
To quote some students from the trip:
"I think I am now addicted to skiing it’s the best thing I have ever done".
"I cannot stop staring at the mountains, I can’t believe they are real…it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen".
"I can't wait to go on the next trip already (before we had left the resort on the final day)".
Due to the huge success of the Sir John Hunt ski trip to Valle di Fiemme there are already plans for a second skiing trip in April 2026 - click the link below for more information:
