** Inscriptions Opening Tuesday 26 November **
Please read carefully. Because of the lack of snow over the last two years, we’ve changed the organisation to fit in as many trips as possible
- We intend on 3 morning excursions to La Vattay where students will organise their own transport.
- We also plan for 2 separate day trips away from La Vattay to resorts where there is a greater chance of snow. These excursions will be by bus. The format of a day away from La Vattay is as follows:
- 08:00 Leave. Pickup points St Genis & CERN Meyrin (order depends on the destination)
- 10:30 Start morning course
- 12:00 Midday break
- 13:00 Start afternoon course
- 14:30 End of course
- 17:00 Arrive at CERN Meyrin and St Genis
- The instructors have agreed to reserve every Saturday from January 11th to March 1st (8 weekends). This increases the chance of being able to manage 5 outings. Students should also be prepared to book these weekends
- The initial outings will be planned at La Vattay but if no snow is forecast in the Jura by the Tuesday beforehand, we will book a day trip elsewhere

Others trips may be added later if it turns out we have a good year for snow. In the past we have organised introductions to biathlon (cross country skiing and shooting) and off track cross country skiing (similar skis to Nordic skiing but no piste!).
