NUCO delivered the snow, the parties and the sheer volume of questionable decisions. However, my true highlight was NUCO Rep Ethan. He’s the real MVP. I’m pretty sure his job title is actually 'Profes... See more

Great trip
Great trip once again. 4th year in a row with Nuco. Very good for college trips

Absolutely loved my ski trip with Nuco.
Absolutely loved my ski trip with Nuco. Our reps Killian and Campbell were so helpful and became good friends with our room over the course of the trip. We stayed in Avoriaz. The resort felt unsafe as the locals were repeatedly aggressive to our group. Nuco were helpful in upping security and advising us on safety. I’ve travelled with Nuco in the passed and have never felt unsafe travelling with them before. I wouldn’t however travel back to this resort until the issues with the locals are resolved.

Everything worked out well in the end
Everything worked out well in the end. Our rep Bethen was very chatty and friendly. She answered any questions we had and made us feel welcome.

Very informative staff
Very informative staff, good events lineup, slight issues with accommodation but that isn’t part of NUCO I believe. Overall would book again if I didn’t want the hassle of booking airport transfer, accommodation, and lift pass.

Trip was really good overall
Trip was really good overall — everything felt well organised and ran smoothly. The accommodation and activities were solid, and the NUCO staff were helpful and easy to deal with. No major issues from my side, would definitely recommend.

Predatory Company
They initially make you pay a £150 non-refundable deposit, which would be fine if they gave you more details. They charge you extortionate fees, don't tell you which specific accomodation you will be staying at, and choose the most obscure place due to it being cheap. This lead to flights being £400 return, with the £300 nuco coach the only alternative. Once you find out that the place you're staying in usually charges 3x less per night than you've been quoted, you've already spent £150 on the deposit. Nuco are so gracious, that you're allowed to find somebody else to take your place, but you'll soon find out that nobody wants to go! On a reselling groupchat, 10s of people were selling their £150 deposit for £25 with nobody interested. I could not recommend this company less, and would recommend booking your own trip and saving half the money NUCO want.

Avoriaz was unsafe
I thought all of the Nuco reps were really helpful. However, the room we had was way too small for 5 people, I went on the trip last year in tinges and had a much bigger room for less people. The room didn’t have a lot of essential things such as a kettle and there wasn’t a lot of storage space. The toilet seat was broken as well as out main cupboard/wardrobe so we had to keep most of our clothes on the floor. The traveler’s that were on the trip really put a damper on everyone’s holiday. I felt threatened and was cat called multiple times on nights out on the way to the club and on the way home. They were kissing me on the neck from the behind, grabbing my waist and being sexually agressive towards me and my friends. We were staying in a hotel with a lot of them staying in it and they cornered us on the first night and were kissing my friend continuously on the cheek so I had to push them off. I feel like many locals were talking about the fact they were here and said it was a well-known fact that they were coming at this time of the year. The women at the ski rental place told me about them coming on arrival and told us to put our skis away before après to prevent them being stolen which took a lot of time to do everyday. I think the trip should not have been booked at this time and more could have been done about it other than just asking us if we were safe to walk home. Because even walking in a group with men we were still attacked and no one walked us up to our room so we had issues walking from the ground floor to our room. I think the nights out weren’t very well planned as we ended up at the same place every day and there wasn’t a lack of communication to tell us that people had moved from the original plans of the night to another place. I’m just a bit disappointed because it was a lot of money. I had a good time but could have been planned better.

First time skiing
NUCO was great with making sure everything was organised, from beginner lessons to accommodation and airport transfer. Gus was a great rep, checking in on my room every night to see if we had everything we needed. He was very friendly and helpful & really went above and beyond. Abi was also very helpful, particularly when our airport transfer home was delayed 4 hours due to the weather. Overall it was a very memorable and fun trip:)
