Poster: A snowHead
|
Whilst they need easy access to good kiddie ski school and nearby nursery slopes, I need quick access to the red/black runs to enjoy whilst they are at ski school. Any suggestions where in France/Austria might fit the (not too expensive) bill?! It's my holiday too - albeit for only a couple of hours a day!!! But the faster they learn the more options I'll have next year! Thank you!

Welcome to snowHeads Brookside
Are you restricting yourself to school holidays?
I ask because some resorts which would otherwise be great for you are, ironically a nightmare with noob kiddies during skool hols.

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

Brookside, St Anton - full of fit men In all seriousness though - if you're into off piste Stuben could tick a few of the boxes. We're heading to Kappl this year which looks great for the kids and just up the road from Ischgl and at a fraction of the price. Checking the piste map quite a few reds and a couple of blacks. Great kids skiing area too http://www.kappl.com/en-skiing-holiday-paznaun.htm

Brookside, I've taken my kids to La Tania with this company about 6 times, only going somewhere different as we fancy a change! They fit your needs fine, plenty of decent skiing for you, kids ski schools and UK nannies to look after the kids as well if you wish, full days, or lunchtime after skiing.

Brookside, you could also try Snowbizz in Puy St Vincent. http://www.snowbizz.co.uk/ , haven't used them myself, but other SnowHeads have recommended them.

Brookside, La Tania is good - went there several times when ours were babies
Other place I thouroughly recommend is Vallandry - linked to Les Arcs so plenty of skiing for you and a very small family resort ideal for kids. Have been there for last 5-years

Brookside, La Rosiere, there are good ski schools for the kids, it's not nearly as expensive as the mega ski resorts nearby; Tignes, Val d'Isere, Les Arcs. The resort has the Petit Montgnards award for child friendliness, the ski area is shared between La Rosiere in France and La Thuile in Italy so it has a different ambiance.

Brookside, I agree with David! I went to La Rosiere earlier this year in Jan with Skibeat and this resort is ideal for families! Great Reds and Blacks in La Ros and powder over the Mountian in La Thuile. We shared a chalet (Papillon 3) with gap year students and a family with a 3yr old. ESF are particularly good here! The piste are wide and almost empty. SKibeat catered chalets were going for £399 and now alot more so worth checking out other operators!
