Contact us to confirm your chosen resort, package, and price for the group! We can provide you with a customised promo pack if needed. You then choose your unique booking code, and it’s as simple as that, your trip is ready to go! All thats left to do is give out the booking code to everyone who’s interested in the trip.
You should have got a unique booking code off the trip organisers, e.g. “UniSkiTrip”, you then enter that booking code into our website where it will bring up the customised booking page for the trip where you can select all of your options, such as hire, and lessons, as well as any other customised gear that may be sold on the booking page.
Although you can register on a trip, your place is not guaranteed until you make a payment. To secure your booking each passenger usually needs to pay a deposit of £100. The full balance is then normally due 5 weeks prior to departure.
After paying your deposit you are able to spread the remaining balance across a further 3 instalments. Then full balance is then normally due 5 weeks prior to departure.
The only payment we accept is by card via our online booking system. This is due to our booking system being linked with all of our booking options.
Please make sure all of your contact details are complete, and check that you bank is set up to make online payments. If you are still having problems please contact info@ski-alpine.co.uk .

Amending you booking is no problem, unless you have paid you full balance and you wish to take something off, which you have already paid for, there is then a £25. If you wish to add anything on at this point you can still do this up till the booking deadline which will be displayed on the booking page.
Depending on your package, some trips may have insurance cover included. Either way there is an option to purchase insurance or upgrade insurance with us. We recommend that every passenger has a travel insurance policy to cover medical emergency and personal possessions.
