Family Ski Resort

It is a mistake to consider Chamonix as an experts resort only. Yes it does have some of the best off-piste skiing in the world, but that is just half the story. Les Houches which is at one end of the valley has some of the best family skiing your probably find in the Alps. The slopes are confidence building with few, if any, significant drop-offs and plenty of blue and red runs. Beginners are well catered for with a magic carpet travelator and its own chair lift.

Family Chalets

Family Chalets, a new site to launch later on in the summer is by all accounts looking for great family ski chalets at the start of its launch. To feature chalets will need to demonstrate that they are a true family ski chalet and minimum criteria is expected to include children's menu, free games, toys, cots, high chairs, and cild restraint seats in vehicles, free ski and creche booking prior to arrival, and support taking and collecting  children to creche and ski school. A chalet within a reasonable distance of the piste, and when its greater than 200m, an all day complimentary shuttle service is also be muted as possible criteria.
