|
i have asked the q before but now have another child
needs ideas for accom / resort otherwise we will end up in tignes as normal.....
criteria as follows.....
2 bedrooms, self catering or hotel (hotel preferable but tricky with more than one sleeping area
allows dogs
ski in / ski out
child care accessible, nanny etc
will only be able to ski on my own for 2-3 hours a day, so doesn't need to be a big area, accessible nursery slopes for the eldest with some off piste options for me and the missus if conditions allow
not an out and out ski resorts so other stuff to do for the eldest (3.5 year old girl)
france, italy, austria, switzerland

Risoul may be good for you. Not many hotels but a decent number of the apartments are ski-in/ski-out and some allow dogs according to OT website. Don't know about childcare. Reasonable ski area. Good nursery slopes - lovely green runs. Some good tree-dodging off piste according to Mrs Dobby's nephew who did a season there. Some lovely blue/red runs in Homme de Pierre sector if you can stand the wedgie-giving, bottom-bashing draglift-of-doooooommmm....

Last season I took dobby's and some other snowheads' advice (thanks!!) and went for Risoul. We had a great time. Family of 5, last year older daughter was 6, twins 4. The twins were practicing a bit on nursery slope (free of charge and very close) and the older one was skiing 1-2 hrs on nice days on green/blue slopes.
Wife and I swapped child care so do not know about organised child care.
The lifts seemed a bit outdated, but once I got to know the place, it was a gem. Great off piste, but we had excellent conditions - between 10 and 40cm fresh almost every night  .

Wengen Switzerland, I know some places will accept dogs, get in contact with tourist office and I am sure they can find a suitable location, nursery slopes in the middle of the village there's also a public kindergarten right next to the nursery slopes that takes children from 18 months to 7 years old (I even attended 40 plus years ago) , kids can learn to ski from starting at 3 to 4 years If you are in center of village you may be able to ski almost to the door, pretty certain the tourist office can sort out childcare as well
