Flexible childcare options
At Ski Famille, we believe that outstanding childcare is at the heart of a truly relaxing family ski holiday. When your children are happy, safe, and engaged, you can fully enjoy your time on the mountain – and that’s exactly what our childcare options are designed to deliver.
We offer a range of flexible, high-quality childcare for children aged from just 4 months up to 12 years, tailored to suit different ages, needs, and family preferences. Whether you choose our in-chalet childcare or our chalet hotel childcare, you can be confident your children are in experienced, caring hands from the moment you arrive.
Our childcare services are designed exclusively for Ski Famille guests, allowing us to offer a personalised, nurturing environment that feels familiar, friendly, and fun throughout your stay.
No two families are the same, which is why we provide a variety of childcare options to suit different ages and holiday styles. From babies and toddlers needing a calm, reassuring routine to older children looking for adventure and social interaction, our childcare programmes are carefully structured to meet the needs of each age group.
Our childcare runs alongside the ski day, making it easy for parents to plan lessons, mountain time, and downtime without worrying about logistics. Whether you’re skiing all day or taking things at a gentler pace, our childcare integrates seamlessly into your holiday.
High chairs, changing mats, baby baths, sterilisers, microwaves and night lights. You name it, we’ve got it.
Many of our childcare team are Level 3 Early Years Childcarers and every member of our childcare team holds a Paediatric First Aid Certificate and Enhanced DBS Certificate.
Save up to 75% on 9 weeks of the winter season!
We offer child price discounts on all weeks of the season when children travel with two full paying adults.
The quality of childcare starts with the people providing it, and we are incredibly proud of our professional childcare team.
All Ski Famille childcare staff are experienced childcarers who are passionate about working with children in a holiday environment. They are selected not only for their qualifications and experience, but also for their warmth, energy, and ability to make children feel instantly comfortable.
Our team includes Level 3 qualified Early Years Practitioners, ensuring that our youngest guests, including babies from 4 months old, receive expert, age-appropriate care. This is especially important for parents seeking childcare for infants, where routine, reassurance, and developmental understanding are essential.
From nappies and nap times to play, feeding, and settling, our childcare team provides attentive, responsive care in a calm and safe environment. Parents can relax knowing their children are looked after by professionals who truly understand early childhood needs.
Childcare with Ski Famille is about much more than supervision – it’s about creating a fun, stimulating holiday experience for children too.
Our childcare programmes include a wide range of age-appropriate activities, designed to keep children active, entertained, and excited about each day. Activities may include:
Swimming in local pools, perfect for building confidence and having fun after a morning on the slopes
Sledging, making the most of the snowy surroundings in a safe and supervised way
Ice skating, a favourite with older children who enjoy learning new skills
Soft play, ideal for younger children who need a safe space to explore, climb, and burn off energy
Activities are carefully planned around the children’s energy levels, weather conditions, and age groups. There is always a balance between active play and quieter moments, ensuring children remain happy rather than overtired.
For older children, our childcare offers opportunities to make friends, build confidence, and enjoy shared experiences that become highlights of their ski holiday.
For families staying in our chalet hotels, we offer a dedicated chalet hotel childcare experience with purpose-built facilities designed specifically for children.
One of the highlights of this option is Monty’s Ski Club, exclusive ski lessons for children staying at Chalet Hotel Cocon des Neiges, where the groups are kept small for the best child experience. Monty’s Ski Club provides a safe environment for your children to learn to ski with English speaking instructors and enjoy their lessons with their ‘holiday besties’. The same children they play with inside will be joining them on the slopes each day.
For younger children, the chalet hotel offers a separate nursery and sleep room, creating an ideal environment for babies and toddlers. The nursery space is bright, calm, and well-equipped, while the dedicated sleep room allows little ones to rest undisturbed, maintaining familiar nap routines even while on holiday.
This separation of play and sleep areas is particularly reassuring for parents of babies and toddlers, ensuring their child’s needs are met in a space designed just for them.
“The team looking after the children were superb and with the girls finding the first couple of days difficult at ski school they were great at providing updates for us and also working with the ski school to get the best experience…..in the end the girls loved the skiing.Well done Ski Famille one of our best family holidays.”

“No brainer for young families!! The most stress free holiday we’ve ever had and felt we actually got a break too with zero guilt knowing the kids were in safe hands and having the best time. The childcare team were all amazing with our 4yr and 12m old. The Cocon des Neiges is unbeatable on location, the staff and food were fantastic. Our suite was very spacious and clean. The private hot tub was a huge plus. Fond memories made for life for all of us!”
