Our Story
We are Snowave — a next-generation travel company creating meaningful school trips through snow and surf adventures. We believe in the transformative power of nature. Our ski and surf experiences go beyond sport: they are designed to build character, encourage teamwork, and leave lifelong memories. Whether on the slopes of the Alps or on a wave in the Basque Country, our mission is to help students grow through challenge, fun, and community.
Why we do it
We started Snowave because we believe school travel deserves more than hotels and packed schedules. We wanted something deeper — trips that connect students with nature, with themselves, and with their peers. Experiences that are authentic, well-organised, and aligned with what today’s schools and parents actually need: - Trust - Simplicity - Impact We combine the energy of a young, international team with the rigour of a structured approach — and the result is a school trip that runs smoothly and feels unforgettable.

We don’t sell packages.
We design experiences — together with teachers, parents, and schools.
Every journey is built on three principles:
- Adventure: because we believe in learning by doing, even if that means falling a few times.
- Community: we create a safe, inclusive and engaging group environment.
- Well-being: we care for each student’s emotional, physical and social experience.
We take care of every detail — from accommodation to evening activities — and we stay by your side at every step.
To shape confident, curious and resilient students by bringing them into contact with nature and one another through adventure-based learning.
We want every Snowave trip to be more than an excursion. We want it to become a milestone in a student’s life. A moment when confidence grows, when friendships form, when the world feels exciting and full of potential.
Our commitment:
- Foster personal growth through outdoor challenges
- Create inclusive, student-led environments
- Support teachers and schools with transparent, professional, tailored travel experiences
This is why we exist: to make school trips more human, more intentional, and more unforgettable.
We work with:
- Secondary schools
- British international schools
- Student groups seeking safe but inspiring outdoor education experiences
No school is too small — we’re here to build the right format for your group.
Our team brings together educators, travellers, and logistics experts.
We’ve taught, planned, hiked, skied, surfed and led hundreds of students in and outside of the classroom.
What unites us? A shared belief that education is not confined to school walls.
