France | Family Friendly Holidays in Europe, America, South America, Far East, Caribbean, Africa, North Africa

Chalets are located close to resort centres and ski lifts and accommodate between 8 and 22 guests. You can book as an individual family or put together a group to take over a whole property. Most chalets have in-house playrooms stocked with toys, books and childcare equipment. All holidays include 5 days of professional childcare, allowing parents to enjoy a carefree holiday, happy and safe in the knowledge the children are having fun too. Your chalet host will prepare delicious home cooked meals including a three course evening meal with wine and ensure that your chalet is clean, safe and welcoming at all times.

Children have the same carers throughout their holiday and childcare takes place in the chalet you stay in; this creates a comfortable home from home environment that quickly puts children at ease. If the weather is suitable, we like children to play outside and the little ones will be taken for walks in our buggies. Older children can enjoy top class teaching from British and French instructors and childcare staff provide a ski school drop off and pick up service. For our youngest guests we supply nappies at cost and provide baby bottles, sterilizers and of course high chairs, cots and bedding.

We offer FREE CHILD PLACES for children under 12 years old on all weeks except Half term, New Year and Easter when generous discounts are offered.

For non-skiing children and babies we are delighted to offer the services of our capable, highly trained, fun loving, in house nannies in The Magic Snowflake Club. They will organise a full programme of indoor and outdoor play on a full or part time basis. Rest assured that your children will have as much fun as you do!
