Create an itinerary including Chill Factore

When it opened in 2007, Chill Factore was the widest indoor ski center in the world. At 180 m (590 ft) long and 100 m (330 ft) wide, it claims the Guinness Book record for the longest chain of skiers to travel 100 m (330 ft) without breaking. Besides indoor piste skiing, the center also houses Alpine Village and a number of snow activities that don't require strapping on skis, including snow tubing, sledging, air-boarding, a snow zipper, and "Avalanche" snow sphering. The latter puts a rider into a giant ball that rolls down the snowy slope, simulating what it might be like to be inside an avalanche boulder. If you're hungry after your snow sports, visit the Mont Blanc Restaurant on the upper deck of Alpine Village to dine with a view. A visit to Chill Factore represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Trafford Park online trip maker to plot your vacation.

booked in for a beginners session, and started very nervous but Fiac was fantastic and helped me become more confident and had me getting down the slope easy and loving it.

Level 1 Snowboard Lesson. Excellent venue, facilities and experience which was made even more enjoyable under the tuition of Len. He is an asset to the Chill Factore. He made my confidence grow...

Fantastic facility. Easy to book, easy to check in and all very organised. Helpful staff. Everything you could possibly need including clothing if you don't have your own. Spacious lockers, plenty of choice for food and drink etc. We went at 6pm on a Saturday and found the slope to be fairly quiet. Really great experience and would highly recommend

I booked a 5-hour snowboarding lesson. On arrival I was welcomed by a team member who told me the whole booking in process. Picking up the equipment, the clothing and boots was all very seamless. The lesson was great fun and very intensive. We then took a break for food, which was very good. Charlie our instructor, made very pleasant conversation and was interested in knowing what each of his fellow "students of the board" did in life. We then resumed the lesson for a further 2 hours. Charlie made the lesson fun and engaging with all the students being involved. We progressed from nothing to carving our way down the slope. Thank you Charlie P, you made my day.
