Skiing as a family is a magical experience, but why don’t you let us do the planning, leaving you to have the fun. Whether your children are skiers or non-skiers, babies or school age, our comprehensive childcare programme from 4 months, superb nannies, recommended ski schools and free evening crèche, makes for a relaxing holiday all round.
Families can enjoy our ski resorts between 7th December 2014 to 19th April 2015, including over the festive period when our Christmas Ski Holidays offer an unforgettable white Christmas for both children and parents alike.
Our family Chalet hotels are fully equipped, with in-house crèches full of toys and fun, plus qualified British nannies who offer a ski school drop off and pick up service so parents can make the most of their day out on the slopes.
Family skiing holidays take some planning and with that in mind we have selected 7 of our Chalet hotels as the best for families. We want to make it easy for the whole family in these hotels and resorts, so we’ve secured ski school places for your children with our recommended ski schools, we’ve arranged our childcare service so that it dovetails with ski school times enabling our nannies to drop off and collect for a supervised lunch or tea and in the evenings we run a supervised evening listening service allowing parents to dine in peace if you wish. Please check with our reservations team that childcare is available on your selected dates and hotel.

Your baby's day is organised to fit in with their needs and, wherever possible, to your times for naps, milk and feeds.
