skiing with children

Catered chalets are our top choice for family skiing. Family ski chalets put everyone instantly at ease and provide a more private and relaxed environment. This is especially true if you can book a whole chalet for “sole occupancy”, which is why so many families organise a ski trip with friends with children themselves, to fill a large family ski chalet. Sole occupancy also gives you ultimate flexibility with sleeping arrangements and meal times, because your chalet host has only your needs to cater for. If you have the whole chalet you can set rules for the children and set a routine much easier too.

Family chalet catering usually includes a buffet breakfast (often with a hot option), afternoon tea and cakes when you return from the slopes, high tea for children slightly earlier than the 3, 4 or even 5 course dinner including wine for the adults. Chalets catering for children usually have an early sitting for dinner, tea, for younger children. But as you are in the same house, you can put the kids to bed and then go down for dinner, knowing that they are only a few meters away. In bigger chalets and chalets hotels you may find a free baby listening or child patrol service, allowing you to enjoy your evening with peace of mind. Most chalets allow the chalet hosts one evening off, so you will need to arrange dinner for that one evening.

Dedicated in-house nursery and kids club plus views across the children's nursery slopes make this family chalet a winner.

Many family chalets and hotels have childcare in the property or nearby. They tend to include essentials like cots, changing mats, high chairs, games and DVD players. Some operators include a childcare station in their chalet hotels with facilities available to aid parents, including a microwave, sterilizer, kettle and fridge. In a Chalet you would be free to use the facilities in the chalet kitchen. Chalet hotels offer the cosiness of a chalet with the chalet catering but perhaps a bit more privacy and more facilities that usually include a resident’s bar.

If you spot a chalet that you like, call us and let us check if children are allowed. Most chalets only allow children when you book the whole chalet for sole-occupancy, and often at school holidays when not booking the whole property. Chalet hotels are usually open to children all season. The very best chalets for skiing with children are family specialists that cater for families throughout the season and we have listed some of the very best here.
