Poster: A snowHead

I am looking to book a holiday for 13 people, comprised of three families, for our half-term 2008 (Sat 9 Feb to Sun 17 Feb - Sat or Sun transfers).
My ideal location has high-altitude, doorstep skiing. There is also a ski-school close by, that will allow me to book my three children in for morning lessons, and supervise them for lunch. This last part is particularly important - no go if you can't offer this, sorry. There will be some nice easy runs close to the chalet that we can ski as a complete group (it will be my youngest daughter's second week on skis).
I know that transfers are a hassle, so if you offer a transfer service, so much the better If it is a short transfer, better still
Family one: myself, my wife, my ten-year-old son, my seven-year-old daughter, my six-year-old daughter
Family two: our friends, their ten- and seven-year old sons
Family three: more friends, their fourteen- and twelve-year-old sons
I am particularly interested in chalets in the Dolomiti Superski area, but will look at others too. I will also consider self-catering apartments/chalets.

TallTone, you want a chalet specifically?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

David Murdoch, sorry, missed your post. A chalet is preferred but we'll look at self-catering. Will take a look at your apartments.
Also now looking at a group of 13 - 6 adults, 7 children (6-13) (will update title!)

boredsurfin, David is already in my thoughts... I met him at La Ros this year and he seems a very nice chap! (Though I know that certain other users in this forum would disagree!) Thanks for the other links though

I enlisted help from my Italian friends to try and locate catered chalets in Italy TallTone. They had never heard of such a thing despite being regular skiers. I found there to be very little in the way of catered chalets in Italy if you are looking independently but good luck! There seems to be a few chalet companies/tour operators that offer them but not a lot! Loads of nice hotels in the Dolomites. Good luck
I'm just back from taking five families to La Thuile with chilren off ages from 3 to 11. We found it to be good with a decnt hotel and teh apartemnst are meant to be OK too. Ski school was disappointing but booked in advance I expect you could have nore luck. I could suggest you try Mark at www.bluski.com - he was very helpful. Not sure if he can organise catered chalets though.

aidancostello, thanks. This was pretty much the conclusion I came to and have in the end booked in Serre Chevalier. Am hopeful to get to the Dolomites one way or another at some point though...
