Action Outdoors, the UK arm of not-for-profit French organisation UCPA, has launched an expanded programme of ski and snowboard holidays for young people for the 2024-2025 winter sport season. Like all of its holidays, the emphasis is on all-inclusive value for money in UCPA centres in some of the top French ski resorts including Val d’Isère, Val Thorens and Les Arcs.
There’s now more than 300 holidays across the winter that are specifically for the 18-30 age group, with 18-25s benefiting from even further discounting on price. All 18-30 Club Exclusive holidays mean the centres are blocked off exclusively for that age group.
Prices start at £541pp (18-25s) and £551pp (18-30 Club Exclusive weeks), including seven nights’ full-board accommodation with breakfast, lunch and dinner, full area ski pass for six days, ski or snowboard rental and instruction.
There’s also ski and snowboard holidays with instruction for all levels with a particularly strong focus on beginners, but intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders can join groups at their level – the UCPA is the second largest ski school in France (after the ESF).
The full list of resorts where holidays for 18-30 year olds are available includes: Argentiere, Chamonix, Flaine, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Les Contamines, Les Deux Alpes, Serre Chevalier, Tignes, Val d’Isère and Val Thorens.
AnnaMai McDermott, Action Outdoors marketing manager, said: “When we launched holidays last winter exclusively for the 18-30 age group we had a fantastic response and now we have expanded the programme so that young people have a choice of dates across the winter including college and university holiday times. Skiing and snowboarding isn’t a cheap holiday but the UCPA makes it affordable and accessible for young people – it really is hard to beat and the legendary food buffet seems to get better and better every year too.”
