Isola is one of France's southern-most ski resorts. It is purpose built and the main resort complex is several hundred metres long, with an internal walkway giving access to shops, bars, restaurants and entertainments, plus a hotel at either end.
There are apartments on the upper floors, with bars and restaurants opening on to the snow-front below. Constructed with ease of skiing and minimising the effects of cold winter weather in mind you can enjoy all the apres ski the resort offers without venturing outside and wherever you leave the building the slopes are right outside.
Situated just 1.5 hours from Nice and its international airport, at an altitude of 2000m Isola 2000 is the highest resort on the French Riviera.
Isola 2000 offers 120km of runs, including 3 black, 13 red, 22 blue and 7 green between 1800m and 2610m. From the top of the resort, you can enjoy an incredible panorama from the Massif of the Ecrins to the Mediterranean Sea, towards the high peak of Monte Viso and the massif of the Argentera.
The hotel is situated literally on the slopes, by the ski school meeting point and in the centre of the resort. Genuine ski in, ski out [as long as you keep your speed at the bottom of the descent!!]. Just step out of the ski room onto the snow and that is where you will meet your instructors.
The hotel is a modern style 3* property which is connected internally to the resort shopping gallery. It has over 100 mainly 2/3 bedded rooms all of which are en suite with cable tv and hair-dryers provided. There is a small inside pool and a meeting room for groups- ideal for in house evening ents.

Please make sure your child has a valid passport with at least 6 months left until it expires on the date of departure.
EHIC / GHIC CARD - If your child has an EHIC card it will remain valid until its expiry date. Following Brexit, this has been replaced by the GHIC card which is still free and means you have access to free healthcare whilst in Europe. You can apply for a GHIC card HERE
SPENDING MONEY - They shouldn't need much but a small amount of sterling for whilst they are at the airport and the remainder in Euro's. Enough so they can get the odd hot chocolate on the mountain, a snack at the services en route to the hotel and a souvenir or two to thank you for letting them go on this amazing trip!
SKIWEAR - The cost of skiwear has come down dramatically over the past few years so this won't cost the earth. We provide the rental of boots, helmets, ski's and poles but they'll need a ski jacket, salopettes ( waterproof trousers ) and a few other bits and bobs. We'll tell you more about exactly what they need and where to get it nearer the time.
At True North we pride ourselves in offering well organised, safe school ski trips to some of the worlds greatest ski areas. Our aim is to exceed your expectations every time you book with us and challenge convention to make organising your next trip as seamless as possible.
We understand that we only have one planet and that we are all responsible for doing our part to care for it. Whilst travel is a wonderful experience, it does place certain pressures on our environment. We have partnered with a fabulous social enterprise called 'Carbon Footprint'. We make a donation for every student that travels with us to minimise the effect our trips have on the environment.

Our True North Leaders out in the resort this winter, are kitted out this season in Dare 2b jackets and mid-layers.
For the last 5 years, prior to our partnership, I have kitted out my son with Dare 2b winter clothing. Living and growing up in Austria, Sam wears that kit all winter, its not only used for skiing, but he wears it on his way to and from school, which for a 20 minute walk in summer, turns into an hour-long walk-in winter, not because of battling the elements, but because they slide, roll, climb through every bit of snow they can. He basically lives in the kit whenever he is outside for the 4 months of the year, and so far, it has survived the test of time, and has stayed waterproof after multiple washes. As he grows, the kit gets handed on to family and friends and lives on for the next few seasons. - Simon Richardson (True North).
