Excited about family ski holidays this year? Esprit Ski couldn’t be more excited to take families back to the reopened slopes in France and Italy for winter 2021/22. Take a look at what’s new and what’s still amazing this season.
Esprit Ski welcomes you back to family ski holidays with exceptional childcare
Family ski resorts in France and Italy may have been quiet recently, but Esprit Ski has clearly been working overtime. For winter 2021/22, infant childcare has been revamped to a new In-Chalet Nanny Service and Private Nanny Service. There’s also the choice of new family chalets. And a couple of chalet hotels in France and Italy have been redesigned.
Of course, some things were just too good to change, like excellent children’s clubs and ski lessons from age three. So the promise of ‘time for the kids, time for you, time together’, is true as ever this winter. And as Esprit Ski practically invented the idea of family ski holidays with built in childcare over 39 years ago, parents can still look forward to carefree skiing and kids experiencing everything that makes snowy winter breaks magical.
It probably feels too long since you’ve all been skiing. So here’s a quick reminder of what families love about Esprit Ski.
