Flight Home OptionNot everybody wants to get a 24 hour coach back nursing a Winter Break hangover, so why not stay an extra night and get a flight the next day? We leave the resort at breakfast time, then take a coach transfer to Geneve or Chambery airport. |
INSURANCEDon't even think about going on a ski or snowboard holiday without insurance. We don't want to be doom mongers or anything like that, but accidents do happen - make sure you're covered. Peace of mind is priceless don't you know?! |
TuitionTuition is available for all standards from beginner to advanced level. All instructors speak English, and lessons range from 3 x 2 hr sessions to 6 x 2 hr sessions to 6 x 4 hr sessions. |
BeginnerLes Arcs doesn't have many green runs, however Les Arcs 1800 is a great area for beginners. There's a large network of blue runs in this area, which are all wide slopes with well groomed snow. |
IntermediateLes Arcs offers a lot to Intermediates with most of the pistes being well networked. The easier jumps in snow park will also provide entertainment, for those feeling brave enough! |
AdvancedThere are plenty of steep reds and blacks to explore, the steepest being Robert Blanc down the face of the Aiguille Rouge area. Advanced freeriders should also check out the Snow Park which consists of challenging rails, kickers and a halfpipe. |
GlacierOh yes! The dominating Aiguille Rouge glacier at 3226m is the opening to over 12km of runs down into Villaroger. Due to its height, this area gets great amounts of powder. You can also ski one of the longest runs in the world from the top of the Les Arcs glacier at 3220m down to 1200m where you arrive at Villaroger. |
Lift passThe package includes the Les Arcs lift pass. This gives you access to just over 200km of piste. The Paradiski pass which links with La Plagne extends your options to 425km of piste, and this is available in resort at an additional 40 euros. |
Line Up & EntertainmentPowdered pistes, cheap drinks and all your mates - surely it doesn't get much better than this! Well you can bet your bruised backsides it does, as Winter Break presents an awesome array of DJ-ing talent to keep you partying until the wee hours. The line up in previous years has consisted of the following... (this years line up will be announced very soon!) |
 |
The Scratch PervertsThe Perverts use of turntables, needles and mixers is both pioneering and mind blowing in equal measure. It's through sheer popular demand that we have them back again and again. With the lyrical lothario Dynamite MC by their side, the fusion of rock, rave, hip-hop, dubstep and dnb is always, absolutely breathtaking! |
 |
PendulumThe Pendulum phenomenon continues to grow at a lightning pace with massive album sales, sell out tours, number one singles and festival headlining slots around the world. |
 |
Jaguar SkillsThe mini mix marvel, the mash up maestro, the musical magician - you get the picture, Jaguar Skills is a total revelation! At Summer Break 2009 he left the crowds in a state of total euphoria and we're delighted to see him back for Winter Break! |
 |
Urban KnightsAfter working on the most anticipated Audio Visual show of 2009, the Urban Knights returned for their Summer Break residency. They've been mixing film and music to create one eye-opening mother of a set. Their AV set was a highlight in each week. |
 |
Apres SkiWe understand that a tailored Apres ski program is a fundamental part of your group’s holiday experience and we will work closely with you to build a program that works best for your club. However with the different DJ's and events going on every day and night... its going to be easy! |
 |
Valley RallyThe Valley Rally is no doubt a student ski institution, one of the best days of your tour and one of the funniest days on the slopes for your group. Outgoing has run countless of them over the years - so be prepared for lots of stupidity, debauchery and a range of ridiculous challenges at the checkpoints all around the mountain! Fancy dress essential... |
 |
Meal on the MountainOne of the highlights of every group ski holiday, the ‘Meal on the Mountain’ is one of the best opportunities to get your whole group together for one HUGE party and a whole lot of ‘Fromage’... Its offered as an extra at Winter Break. |
