Français en piste
Celebrate New Year’s in the mountains while improving your French!
Dreaming of starting the year in style — skis on your feet and a smile on your face? Join us for an unforgettable language trip in the French Alps!
What’s on the agenda? Six days in La Toussuire, in the heart of the Sybelles ski area, where you can enjoy the thrill of the slopes and improve your French in a warm, international atmosphere.
Language & Snow – the perfect combo!
Roeland offers you a unique trip where language fun and snowy adventures go hand in hand.
Every day, you’ll have two hours of ski or snowboard lessons, taught by experienced instructors. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you’ll make progress in a fun way!
But that’s not all:
After the skiing activities, all kinds of fun activities are planned — of course entirely in French: quizzes, singing sessions, games, sledding, snowball fights… and much more! On December 31st, we’ll raise our glasses and welcome the New Year with a party! We’ll also end the last day of the camp with a fun celebration!
As with all Roeland language trips, the golden rule is: French only. The target language is used all the time, for full immersion.
The perfect way to enjoy your holiday and improve your French without even noticing!

Experience campsFull immersion
A language is only truly learnt by experiencing it. This is the approach that anchors our Experience Camps. There is less of a focus on language workshops. Instead, we will refine your proficiency through a variety of activities in the target language. Led by our group leaders, you will be holding debates, exploring a city, learning a new (adventurous) sport, or letting your creative side go wild – all in the target language. This also means that it is important that participants already have a basic knowledge of the language.
We expect you to be able to understand simple conversations and instructions without much effort and to talk about day-to-day topics (talking about yourself, expressing your feelings, asking simple questions). Although these camps feature fewer (or no) language workshops, our group leaders remain focused on helping you to improve your skills and express yourself better in the target language.
Fontcouverte-la-Toussuire
You’ll be staying at the “Centre de la Ville de Lyon” holiday centre, in the charming village of Fontcouverte-la-Toussuire, just a stone’s throw from the La Toussuire ski slopes.
Accommodation is in rooms for 3 to 8 people, each with its own private shower.
The centre also features a cozy bar and two game rooms, perfect for relaxing with your (new) friends after a day on the slopes.
