The Alps are a region of outstanding natural beauty and easily accessible by autoroute from Calais.
Our specialist STS Pavilion Tours department arranges an exciting range of popular Alpine Sporting Adventure programmes based in the French Alps.
Offering an exciting and invigorating range of sports and leisure activities complemented by a choice of excursions designed to add value to an action packed course.
LOTC Badge / Adventure / Watersports
Please note that currently the Adventure programme is not covered by the LOTC Quality Badge. The School Travel Forum and the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom are in the process of working together to clarify the criteria under which recognition can be given for adventurous activities such as the ones included in our Adventure programme.
All other STS Tours hold the LOTC Badge.
The programmes are available from mid June to the end of August.
All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose
