Spending Money Guidelines

This ski trip is fully inclusive, covering all meals and essential expenses. Therefore, your child will not need to bring a large amount of spending money. However, if you wish, you may provide a small sum for optional extras like hot chocolates, soft drinks, snacks, or souvenirs.

To minimise the risk of money being lost or overspent, we ask that no pupil brings more than £80 in total. This should be more than sufficient for any additional expenses.

Payment Methods

We have confirmed that the hotel at our resort accepts card payments, and participants can access the games room (e.g. pool tables) free of charge. Debit cards are convenient but may incur foreign transaction fees, so please check with your bank in advance. Prepaid cards are a great option for those under 16, as they allow spending limits to be set and adjusted easily. These cards can be reloaded if necessary, giving you control over daily spending.

Pupil Bank

If parents are worried about pupils carrying cash, we will operate a student bank. Staff  will be happy to hold pupils’ spending money securely and distribute it in small amounts each day.

This system helps to:

• Prevent pupils from losing large sums of money.
• Teach responsible daily budgeting.
• Minimise the risk of overspending on the first day.

Please provide this money to staff at departure, in an envelope clearly labelled with the pupil’s name and amount. Staff will then allocate a set allowance per day, which pupils can collect before activities or excursions. Any remaining money will be returned at the end of the trip.

We believe this approach ensures pupils can enjoy optional extras safely and responsibly, while giving parents peace of mind.
