An unforgettable, fun and challenging multi activity holiday in the wonderful Southern French Alps. This trip is perfect for all school, college and scout groups.
Location: Champsaur Valley, Southern French Alps
Months available: May, June, July, August, September
We believe wholeheartedly in the benefits of outdoor education to engage, challenge and inspire young people, helping them to reach their potential and achieve more.
Our activity trips for schools, scouts and youth groups are based in the Southern French Alps which is an excellent destination for outdoor sports due to it's fabulous weather - it has the best weather in France with 300 days of sunshine per year, and varied topography.
With everything from beaches by the lake to high mountain glaciers within an hour of each other, it lends itself to a diverse range of activities from canyoning to waterskiing to rock climbing and mountaineering as well as being a haven for geology students.
We are also on the edge of the Ecrins National Park which is a huge nature reserve and the actual valleys where the accommodations are based are still very French alpine with traditional villages and a strong culture. You won't be staying in a purpose built ski resort!!
We have put together a full timetable of activities to give you an idea of the range available and a ball park price. However, we can and do adapt this to each group to fit your budget and objectives. You can have a look at our activities section for more information about the range of activities on offer. Please select 'summer' in search to show the activities available for this trip.
We can also tailor it for language or geography trips with field visits and cultural trips mixed in with the outdoor activities.
All our guides and instructors are fully qualified to French and European standards. We hand pick them for their professionalism, guiding skills, local knowledge and experience to ensure you experience the highest quality instruction with your safety and security as paramount.

The nearest local train station is Gap which has rail links with Paris, Marseille and Grenoble.
