What will students see and do?
IBT Travel offers school trips all over Europe and the world to destinations where pupils can learn about historical battlefields, geography, art, architecture and more.
IBT Travel also offers school ski trips to Italy and Austria. Its central location in Northern Italy is in Val Di Fiemme. You can choose to keep your school ski trip to Val Di Fiemme, or you can travel to any of the following sites:
– Bellamonte
– Cermis
– Pampeago
– Folgaria
On a trip to Val Di Fiemme, you’re almost guaranteed to have 160 km of skiable terrain covered with fresh snow. It’s a quieter location, so it’s perfect for younger students.
All of the other individual resorts are within 30 minutes of Val Di Fiemme, so there are large slopes for every age and skill level.
The Salzburger Sportwelt, the central location in Austria, offers over 350km of interconnected slopes. Most of the resorts here are situated within a 30-minute drive. Due to the sheer size of the skiable area, this location is perfect for larger school groups.
But if skiing isn’t on the curriculum, how about a history trip to Normandy? Your students can immerse themselves in WWII history with the Normandy beach landing in 1944.
Or take a trip to the USA, where pupils will learn about the Statue of Liberty and take photos of the famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York, or visit The White House in the country’s vibrant and history-rich capital, Washington DC.
Some of the other locations available include:
– Amsterdam
– Barcelona
– Amalfi coast
– Berlin
– Dunkirk
– Czech Republic
– French Alps
– Iceland
– Krakow
– Paris
How does the trip link to the curriculum?
Whether it’s a reward trip to Disneyland in Paris or a chance to educate pupils on the history of WWII, outdoor education is essential in creating a lasting, memorable and educational experience.
Ski trips can help pupils with increasing their confidence and developing social skills. Getting involved in physical exercise can encourage positive behaviour.
The educational trips offered by IBT Travel connect to the curriculum of you chosen subject.
