Français, ça glisse
Celebrate New Year in the mountains while improving your French!
Dreaming of starting the new year with skis on your feet and a big smile on your face?
Join us on an unforgettable language trip to the French Alps!
On the agenda: 6 days in La Toussuire, right in the heart of the Les Sybelles ski area, where you’ll enjoy snow-filled fun and improve your French in a warm, international atmosphere.
Language and snow: the perfect combination!
Roeland offers you a unique trip where language fun and snowy adventures go hand in hand.
Every day, you’ll follow two hours of interactive French lessons, taught by experienced language monitors. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you’ll make progress in a fun way – both on the slopes and in the classroom!
But that’s not all:
You’ll go skiing every day in small groups, together with Roeland monitors and your new friends. In the evenings, you’ll enjoy fun and relaxing activities — all entirely in French, of course.
As with all our language holidays, the golden rule applies here too: French only. The target language is used continuously, creating a full immersion experience. It’s the ideal way to enjoy your holiday and improve your French in a playful way!

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, located in the charming village of Fontcouverte-la-Toussuire, just steps away from the La Toussuire ski slopes.
Accommodation is in rooms of 3 to 8 people, each with its own private shower.
The centre features a cozy bar and two game rooms where you can relax with your (new) friends after a day on the slopes.
