 Poster: A snowHead
|
Any recommendations?
Am trying Espirit, Mark Warner, Iglu, Ski Family and Inghams for some late availability for next week, but would really appreciate any other recommendations for family orientated holiday companies that run kids clubs/skiing.
Many thanks.

I've heard nothing but good things about Mark Warner but haven't used them myself.
If you need a nanny service so for children under 5 I'd recommend skibeat.co.uk as they use qualified english nannies and have their own creche. They also put a nanny in skischool to look after the 5-8 year olds who just do a morning. The nannies will then pick them up give them lunch and look after them for the afternoon. They always take them out bum boarding snow ball fighting etc. These are chalet holidays though so you probably want to fill the chalet so you don't have to worry about noise, toys etc upsetting other people.
There is also a resort that a lot of people on hear have mentioned as being excellent so you will have to so a search. It might have been la roseire but I can't remember.

Simply Ski/Simply Travel have great childcare although it is not inclusive. Private nannies are the deal with them.

Mark Hunter, I have used Espirit (Courchevel 1300 and Montchavin) and Mark Warner (Val d'Isere). Both were excellent.
You don't have Club Med on your list. Friends have been to La Plagne with them and were very happy with the service.
The best arraangement for us was go self-catering with other familes and share out the child care.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Mark, we've got some spaces for next week Chalet Le Mouflon, La Rosiere 1850, how many in your party? I can tell you the snow is good there at the moment. Give me a call if this is of interest.

I've used Mark Warner 5 times (4 ski holidays and 1 beach) and have never failed to have a great time. The childcare is excellent and all the nannies are British.
I've just booked for next week at the Tarentaise in Meribel for my son and me so I'll report back on our experience there.
Club Med is very good too. In fact, I preferred the food with CM (lunch is included & beer too), I'm not keen on food being too fussy and Mark Warner try a bit too hard for my liking. The entertainment is very French though! One thing worth noting with Club Med is the fact that EVERYTHING is included: lift pass, ski school if you want it, all meals (beer & wine with lunch and dinner) every day, so no fending for yourselves on Thursdays like with Mark Warner. The only reason we haven't been back was the lack of English-speaking company for our 9 year old son.
