Aosta Valley Ski Trip

Presented by The Dam Social Club

16–21 March 2026 | 5 Nights/4 Days skiing | Pila Ski Resort, Italy

70 spots | From £995pp | Open to LSE Alumni & friends of

We’re excited to announce that for our fourth LSE Alumni (and friends) ski trip, we are heading to north-west Italy to the stunning Aosta Valley. Expect an itinerary full of pizzas, aperols, stunning slopes 

We’ll be based in the town of Aosta, often called the “Rome of the Alps” for its Roman ruins, lively piazzas, and unique French-Italian cultural blend. Surrounded by some of Europe’s highest peaks, including Mont Blanc, it has a mix of alpine scenery, great cafés, wine bars, and restaurants.

We’ll be staying at the colourful and artsy Omama Hotel, just 10 minutes walk from the gondola up to the Pila ski resort, where our ski lockers will be conveniently located. We’ve also planned a day trip to nearby La Thuile ski resort, giving us access to even more slopes to explore.

Alongside the skiing, we’ve lined up a series of socials to ensure everyone is entertained both on and off the slopes. Think pizza nights, food and wine tastings, karaoke, quiz nights and more. All designed to make sure you have an iconic time getting to know the group, the town, and the slopes during your time in the Italian Alps.

Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned pro, this trip has everything you need for a memorable few days in the mountains.
