All Esprit Ski holidays with childcare give everyone in your family the freedom to ski in France or Italy this winter. Plus, discover the brand new pre-teen afternoon activity, Mountain Academy.
Everyone has a fun ski holiday with Esprit Ski childcare
Family ski breaks with childcare are made for parents who want the freedom to take first lifts in the morning and know their kids are taken care of. With Esprit Ski that freedom means giving you the sense of wellbeing you only find when your kids are in safe hands, cared for and having a great time too. The concept of ski holidays with built-in childcare was created by Esprit Ski more than 39 years ago, so it’s fair to say, they’re experts in the field.
Make the most of family together time with Esprit Ski
For winter 2022/23 and 2023/24 childcare is more flexible than ever. There’s infant childcare for babies and toddlers starting from 17 months to 3 years and 4 months. For older kids, they’ll spend their mornings on the slopes in ski lessons, followed by an afternoon of activities or free time with parents. Plus, because a strict carer-to-child ratio is always in place, you can be confident your kids get plenty of individual attention. Language is never a barrier either, as all fully-certified childcare staff are also fluent English speakers. And at every resort in France and Italy you now have the choice of family hotels or chalets, and selected properties have exclusive Esprit Ski baby and child listening services.

Kids getting cosy after another fun snow day
Esprit Ski family resorts in some of the best ski areas in France and Italy
France and Italy offer some of Europe’s best skiing, and both countries are famously family-friendly when it comes to ski breaks. So no surprise to find Esprit Ski’s focus is on French and Italian resorts for their family holidays. All hotels, chalets and apartments are handpicked by the experienced team, and their standards are very high. Everything from comfort and great facilities to convenient locations is taken into consideration, so all you have to consider is getting out on the slopes and having fun.
Chalet Amelia, La Rosière, France
La Rosière, France: sunshine, snow and views in the Tarentaise Valley
Sunny and snow-sure La Rosière sits above the Tarentaise Valley and is known for its views as well as an excellent and accessible lift network. Esprit offer an impressive choice of family chalets in La Rosière, all close to nursery slopes. For winter 2022/23, think about ski-in-ski-out Chalet Amelia, which sits just 50m from the nearest lifts.
The Snug, Chalet Ducs De Savoie, Val d’Isère
Val d’Isère, France: great skiing and fun family atmosphere
Val d’Isère is high altitude, with a long ski season and an extensive lift network which gets you onto the slopes, fast. And it’s a good choice for a wide range of skiers, from beginners to experts. Here, Esprit gives families the choice of apartments, hotels or chalets. This year, cosy and beautifully designed, Hotel Ducs De Savoie is highly recommended for family ski holidays: it’s in the resort centre and a walk from Esprit Ski childcare.
Hot tub with soothing views, Chalet Arktic, Tignes
Tignes, France: one of the world’s top ski resorts
Tignes is snow-sure all season and offers over 300km of groomed piste, as well as extensive off-piste terrain. And if you feel adventurous, the Grand Motte Glacier is another local challenge. All Esprit Ski accommodation in Tignes is close to children’s ski areas and childcare, so it’s perfect for families. Take a look at Chalet Arktic on Tignes Le Lac this season. Fresh, bright and complete with sauna, sun terrace and hot-tub, it also features stunning views. Plus, lifts are only a short walk away too.
Mountain views from Champoluc, Italy

Never too busy, even in peak season, this is where families have more room to enjoy the tree lined slopes, views and local mountain restaurants. Hotel de Champoluc is recommended for 2022/23 as it’s right next to the Crest Gondola and both kids clubs and ski lessons are nearby.
