Action Outdoors, the UK arm of not for profit UCPA, based in the French Alps, has launched a number of ski holidays for young people aged 18-25.

They are both targeted at students with a valid ID card and also non-students that fall into that age range, with slightly differing prices, all heavily discounted from the normal cost.

Prices start from £443 per person (with student ID), all for 7 nights all-inclusive accommodation, full-board (breakfast, lunch, dinner), lift pass, ski or snowboard equipment hire and instruction for all levels from beginner to expert.

For non-students who are between the ages of 18-25, prices start from £575 per person, which is still considerably lower than the standard cost for the same holiday.
