How to take part in a day trip?
Registration for Saturday and Sunday day trips takes place online the week before the trip. There are three steps (modified compared to last season) :
- 1) Participants register online and pay from Tuesday 12.30 to Wednesday 16.30 on the registration page for the day trip on the ski club's HelloAsso website.
- 2) The person in charge of the day trip selects the participants according to the number of seats available and send an email either confirming the participation or indicating the placement on the waiting list by Thursday end of afternoon. Please include the club email address in your approved senders and check your inbox. Send a message to the club address on Friday morning if you have not received any message.
- 3) Members who have not participated in the day trip are reimbursed as soon as possible after the trip.
Participants except the members of the club committee required to supervise the day trip are selected on the basis of the order of pre-registration. 50% of places are reserved for members working on the ITER site and 50% for members working on or linked to the CEA site. These rules may change during the season.
Participants not selected for a day trip will be given priority for the following day trip. There is no open hours for the ski club any longer. If you have any problem, please send a message to club email address or to skiclub@iter.org (only accessible from ITER email addresses).
Reimbursement
If you have registered for a day trip but have to cancel please contact the person in charge of the trip by e-mail: skiclubcadarache@gmail.com and on the club mobile phone (06 59 66 99 62) as soon as possible. The rate without ski lift ticket will be retained if you cannot be replaced.
Day trip cancellations
In case of bad weather conditions or if there are not enough participants registered, the day trip can be cancelled on Thursday at the latest. The registered participants will be informed by email and reimbursed via HelloAsso.
Ski lessons
Voluntary ski and snowboard instructors from the French Skying Federation (FFS) give free ski and snowboard lessons in the morning during our day trips (between 2 hours and 2 hours and a half depending on the time of arrival at the resort).
According to the FFS regulations, you must have a FFS license to take these lessons. The students must wear helmets and have their boots and skis or snowboard with them in the bus in order to avoid losing time in renting equipment on arrival at the resort. We remind you that you can rent equipment from the ski club at attractive rates.
Please ask for lessons and indicate the level of the skier / snowboarder upon registration. The groups are made during the week depending on the number and level of students and instructors available.

Transportation to the ski resorts is organised through a private company with recent, comfortable and safe coaches.
