 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys after a bit of help choosing a resort!
We have been offered - Sainte Foy, Les Menuires or Val Cenis.
We are a family of four (2 adults and 2 children)
My eldest is 4 and will be her fifth time Skiing and is progressing very well!
My son in only 2 and a half so will not be skiing.
Which would be the best resort for us as a family?
Thank you

Does it have to be France - busy school holidays. The following week would be better if you want to ski in France. If it has to be the first week, maybe Italy would be better?

@Bevsy, what do the 2 adults like skiing wise and town wise?
What'll you be doing with the 2 and a half year old?
If you're keen skiers and like plenty of different options then Les Menuires would be my choice from those three. It would also suit your 4 year old.
The town is, how shall I say, functional but not regarded as pretty. The mountain scenery is still great though.
Likely to be one of the busiest weeks of the season though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

+1 vote for Les Menuires.
Find out if you are in the central La Croisette part as it will be much easier with little ones, and ski school. (though all the parts will have ski school meeting points)
It's lovely there and often activities going on. Evening sledding, music, lights. It's also the 60th Year Anniversary of Les Menuires so likely to be fun stuff going on in the evenings to celebrate.

I would discount Les Menuires as I wouldn’t go to the three valleys with children that age. Sainte Foy is very nice but the ski area might be a bit limited for the adults unless you enjoy off piste. Val Cenis would be the best option I think. Which accommodation are you thinking of? I think there may be esf chilcare near chalets de flambeau but it is a while since our trip there so can’t quite remember.

If by first week you mean 2-9 March it shouldn't be too bad, only a third of France on holiday and not Paris.

I would suggest Val Cenis which will be much quieter than the others and is a nice little town with all sorts of activities to keep you occupied off the slopes such as luge, ice rink, swimming pool etc etc.
There are also some nice runs to do with your daughter including the long green run ‘escargot’ which runs from the top all the way down to the town.

Wherever you're going, book ski schools IMMEDIATELY or there might be no options left!
