Handy Tips Don t pack your ski jacket, take it onto the coach with you as it will get colder during the night. You might also want to take a small sleeping bag/blanket and a pillow. Take plenty of snacks and drinks (preferably water) for the journey. Take a plastic carrier with you so you can collect your rubbish and pop straight into the bin. The coach is yours for the duration of the tour and therefore you need to keep it clean and tidy. You might also want to pack some mini snacks in your suitcase as skiing uses a lot of calories and local shops don t always have your favourites. If possible take a large soft holdall rather than a hard suitcase as this packs easier into the coach holdall and is also much better for storage in your room. Don t forget to pack one pair of ski socks for your ski fit. Pack a small bag to take on the slopes each day. Important: Service stations across Europe charge 50 cents to use their facilities so please bring some change.
Homeward Bound You will depart your hotel on Friday 6th April after your evening meal. You will travel back through the night arriving back sometime during the afternoon of Saturday 7 th April. Times are subject to crossing times and will be confirmed at a later date
