The 360° view from the top of the Schilthorn shows you the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch peaks, plus about a jillion more in between – and if the whiskey doesn’t make your eyes water, the scenery certainly will. We reckon even 007 would have been tempted to swap his signature ‘shaken, not stirred’ for an Irish Coffee here – before his famous ski down the mountain in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. […]

Comment on Our First Family Ski Holiday ! by Snoman https://www.sno.co.uk/blog/our-first-family-ski-holiday/comment-page-1/#comment-52866 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 11:10:22 +0000 https://www.sno.co.uk/blog/?p=2104#comment-52866 Thanks for sharing your experience Giles. It’s a shame your daughter didn’t enjoy the kids crèche at Villars. Did you talk to the staff about her not enjoying it?

We had an amazing time in the Club Med in La Plagne, but our boys are 5 and 7 so were kept busy learning to ski etc. (I made a short video, at top of this page https://www.sno.co.uk/ski-holidays/family/inclusive/ )

Please do ping me an email if you’ve a minute to write a sentence on the Esprit and Mark Warner experiences you had – I’d love to put your review/opinions on the website for others to benefit.

Comment on Our First Family Ski Holiday ! by Giles Harrison https://www.sno.co.uk/blog/our-first-family-ski-holiday/comment-page-1/#comment-45339 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 10:36:27 +0000 https://www.sno.co.uk/blog/?p=2104#comment-45339 ClubMed was our most unsuccessful family ski holiday due to how miserable the 2-3 year old crèche made the children. Our daughter was 2 and a half and had a terrible time. The ratio of children to staff was too high and there were very few activities laid on for them. We went to the Villars hotel.
Esprit and Mark Warner have been much better but our favourite child care has been the Kinderschule in Lech.

Comment on 10 reasons we love skiing in the USA by Snoman https://www.sno.co.uk/blog/10-best-things-about-usa-skiing/comment-page-1/#comment-26346 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 11:15:02 +0000 http://www.sno.co.uk/blog/?p=908#comment-26346 In reply to Fiona.

So true Fiona – guess it’s a cultural thing. Used to be that Brits would politely wait their turn, but years of being irked by French different approach to queuing means now we Brits are equally to be seen jostling rudely toward the lifts. Queue-barging is no big deal across most of Europe, so maybe we should go with the flow… wish I was as relaxed as the Italians, but think I’ll always secretly prefer the German/US respectful approach 😉

Try doing the same thing in a busy queue in Europe – it can be carnage.
