Things to Consider in a Family Ski Chalet

Not all chalets are equal, especially when it comes to travelling with children. It is worth considering the following when choosing your family chalet:

1. Location: Proximity to the slopes is extremely useful, especially for ski school drop-offs and tired legs at the end of the day. Ski-in/ski-out access is ideal, but also consider the level of the piste outside your door. A green or blue run is preferable for beginners. If the chalet is a short drive away, check whether a chauffeur service is included for seamless transfers.
   
2. Bedroom Configuration: Chalets with bunk rooms or twin rooms are often ideal for children. It’s also worth checking which level the bedrooms are on if you prefer to sleep close to your children. For families travelling with a nanny or babysitter, look for an extra guest room or flexible sleeping arrangements.
   
3. Entertainment: Whether it's a home cinema, games area, or playroom, having designated areas for downtime helps everyone recharge. Older children and teenagers often appreciate separate spaces where they can unwind on their own terms.
   
4. Wellness Facilities: Spa areas aren’t just for grown-ups; indoor swimming pools, especially those with adjustable depth, are hugely popular with families. Saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs can be a welcome treat for parents after a day on the slopes.
   
5. Service Style: If your chalet is catered, consider whether flexible dining times can be accommodated, particularly helpful with younger children who may need to eat earlier. Some chalets also offer child-friendly menus or informal dining options.
   
6. Childcare Equipment: High chairs, stair gates, travel cots, baby monitors, sledges—every little detail makes a difference when you’re travelling with children. Our team can advise on which chalets include what, or arrange items in advance through our concierge service.
   
7. Concierge Support: From booking ski school and private instructors to arranging babysitting, excursions, or recommending the best family-friendly restaurants in Courchevel, our concierge team is there to ensure your holiday is as effortless as it is enjoyable.
