Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Xmas 2005 - Resort / TO for family with childcare

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I wonder if anyone can help friends of mine who have mistakenly thought that I could help.

They are a family looking for a recommendation on resort and possibly TO fro Xmas 2005.

1) Mother skis , father would like to learn
2) 2 x boys 4 and 2 ( by then) - eldest might have a lesson or two -- if available.
3) Must be a 'Xmas' resort
4) Chalet accomodation and child care ( not a creche) required every day ....

Any suggestions would be gratefully received ..

eEvans, if by 'Xmas' resort you mean likely to have some decent snow, Belle Plagne and the Crystal Hotel Turquoise might do. It's not a chalet of course but it's not very big. 24 rooms. I'm not sure exactly what the childcare is but I know at least one staff member is full time with the sprogs. Not gourmet but adequate food. Every one of the staff speaks English - which might or might not be what your friends are looking for..... Beginners ski school (ESF) almost outside the door.

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

eEvans, We went with ski esprit when my eldest two were that age. Chalet accommodation, excellent childcare, everyone slse in the same situation, I would thoroughly recommend them.

eEvans, have a look at Mark Warner. I stayed in a Chalet Hotel in Courchevel with them before Christmaas a couple of years ago and I think they would match your requirements pretty well.

eEvans, I'd also recommend the Ski Espirit option although there are expensive. Interestingly, La Rosiere is Ski Esprit's most popular resort in the Alps, they certainly have a wide choice of chalets and dedicated childcare facilities. However, if your friends are prepared to go with the DIY option, the La Rosiere Tourist Office have a list of child care providers. We've had guests use this option very happily. There is a good kindergarten facility in the village, Les Galopins, who take children from 18mths up to 12 yrs old. We are full over Xmas but my son has some space at his chalet Le Sivoliere, you can find his details on www.morealps.com I hope this is helpful.

I have friends with 2 boys aged 6 and 4,. They always use Mark Warner or ski esprit specifically because they have confidence and trust in these companies' childcare staffing and Policy's. This is not evident in all TO's that offer childcare.
