Childcare

Please refer to the list below of childcare options in all resorts

We ask parents to arrange their own childcare directly with the suppliers detailed below, because parents often require special and individual needs which may be personal to their child. All suppliers speak good English.

The options below will include half and full day options with lunch if required. Nannies and creche facilites as well as baby sitters are all available options and very easy to arrange.

Children and Skiing
Children over the age of 4 will be able to ski. Parents may wish to try getting younger children to ski but in our experience children too young lack the concentration and physical strength to benefit from learning to ski. It may also do their progress more harm than good.
