55 students sick after skiing holiday – school trip to the Alps turns into a virus spreader. “Illnesses on school trips are not unusual, but they have never happened to this extent,” says headmaster Jürgen Werner.
Parents pay around 450 euros for the school trip – including a ski pass and ski course. Hygienic conditions in the accommodation, the “Beech House”, are poor, there is mold in the bathroom, the bed linen is dirty and the toilets are yellowed.
