 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone please help me with some suggestions of where to go in France on 10th December with my 3 1/2yr old girl for a week?
I would like her to have lessons/snow club etc in the mornings so that I can get a few hours skiing in myself. I had been thinking Tignes/Val but the lack of snow in Europe has me wondering what to do. The priority for me is for my girl to spend time on snow to bring her up to speed with her brother (5yrs) who did 2 weeks last year.
It has to be France as following the weeks skiing we have to go to the in-laws near Toulouse.

It is quite hard to find lessons for children under 4, you may need private lessons. I had problems with 3 years and 11 months and eventually they let her join in. Piou piou club will be happy to have her, but very limited skiing. That was in Les Menuires, but I think its quite standard.

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

I know there is no snow there at the moment, but our Littl'un attended the ESF in Les Gets at the same age.
When asked about filling in the form with regard to age it was suggested by the ESF operative that we adjust his age...

Maybe you could look at the Pyrenees resorts if you are going to Toulouse afterwards. I'm afraid I don't know the resorts there but I thought I read somewhere that the pyrenees had had more snowfall than the alps so far this season.
Otherwise maybe you should wait another week before booking and see where the snow falls as some is forecast in the french alps this week.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the replies. Piou Piou club or similar will be fine, I just need to find a resort with one open from 10/11th Dec onwards??
Not bothered if in the Alpes or Pyrenees. The only thing booked so far is a Eurostar crossing, everything else is flexible.
From what I gather resorts in the Pyrenees have had a dump on the peaks, but nothing lower...like everywhere else.

Val Thorens are planning to open a snowgarden for kids on 3rd December. ESF in Tignes are hoping that the Val Claret snowgarden will be open by mid month as well.
I am going to make a decision early next week.
