What our clients say about us!

Unbelievably Cheap Perfectly Awesome

"In my opinion, UCPA should really stand for something like ‘Unbelievably Cheap, Perfectly Awesome’ because it really is the best way to see the French Alps on a budget. Or not even on a budget for that matter, because the enthusiasm of the instructors, quality (and quantity!) of the food and general fun atmosphere is something you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere."

Amelia S

Epic food

"Lunch and dinner were epic. Buffet style with delicious and varied options each day and night. Not cheap foods either - Full roast chickens, ribs, roast beef, etc. Unreal!"

Ron H

Great people

"The best thing about this holiday was the people I met! Everyone loved skiing/snowboarding/being outdoors, so we had a lot in common already."

Tong Tong
