Ski Chalets with Childcare

Chalet companies offering private nannies

Until Brexit and Covid there was a wide range of chalet companies offering their own private nannies in resort. This companies provided a neat solution to childcare whereby the cost of childcare could simply be added to clients' main holiday invoice. Today there is just one chalet company still offering private nanny care, VIP Ski. They offer chalets and nannies in Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Arc 1950 and Val d'Isere.

Chalet companies offering childcare and children's ski school

If your children are old enough to ski (usually this is when they have reached their 4th birthday) but young enough to need some sort of formal childcare then there are several different chalet operators to choose from. These specialist family friendly companies offer a practical combination of childcare and ski school.

Ski Esprit

Ski Esprit look after children aged from 17 weeks to 12 years old. They offer crèche, kids clubs, evening care as well as their own dedicated ski classes so that your children can be looked after all day if required. They formerly offered a wide range of resorts but their childcare is now largely based in La Rosiere, France.

Ski Famille

Ski Famille is a rival to Ski Esprit and they offer a very similar wide ranging childcare service. The principal difference is that the Ski Famille childcare takes place 'in-chalet' rather than in a separate crèche building found in another part of the resort. Ski Famille offer an 'a la carte' service whereby clients pick and choose from different elements of childcare service to truly suit their family's needs.

Club Med

Club Med also offer a wide range of different childcare services but the style of service on offer will depend on which Club Med resort you stay at. Most properties offer Mini Club Med (for ages 4-10 years old) and Junior Club Med (ages 11-17) which both include ski lessons, all day childcare and evening childcare and activities. Some Club Med resorts also offer Baby Club Med (for infants) or Petit Club Med (for toddlers aged 2-3 years).

Family Ski Company

The Family Ski Company offers childcare and ski school solutions for families with children aged from 3 months to 13 years old. There are three different age groups: Powder Pups (3 months to 4 years old), Powder Hounds for children aged 4 - 6 years old, and Adventurers Club for children aged 7 - 13 years old. In all cases children are picked up by nannies in the morning and then dropped back at their chalet in the afternoon. Children who are skiing are looked after all day including a supervised lunch with dedicated helpers at the ski school exclusively looking after Family Ski Company children. Resorts on offer are Morzine (Ardent), Reberty and Les Coches in La Plagne.
