Choosing your winter sports accommodation is no easy task. Choosing the right accommodation can make a difference to your family holiday, and we think these tips will help make your decision a little easier.
Ski in out
Ski-in/ski-out accommodation really is the dream when you’re traveling with kids – carrying skis, catching buses, and trying to keep the little ones in sight adds an element of complication that we’d all rather avoid.
Ski-in and out accommodation is most often found in newer resorts, built specifically for this purpose.Â
Family-friendly facilities
When choosing accommodation, keep an eye out for swimming pools, games rooms, connecting rooms, kids’ meals and baby facilities. Your children are also likely to find new friends among the other families staying in the same accommodation.
Types of accommodation:
Chalets
If you like the idea of ​​a cosy living room with a fireplace and a friendly host, a chalet stay could be for you. Your host will do the cooking and cleaning, while you and your family relax in a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, so you’ll feel like you never left home. You can book an entire chalet or share it with other people.
Hotels
Choose a locally-run hotel to get a real taste of the resort culture. You’ll be able to enjoy authentic experiences and have easy access to what you might need, like restaurants and leisure facilities. Some hotels even offer ski equipment rental, like this hotel in Tignes , and others even offer babysitting services.
Independent apartment
You will have your own space, as well as a kitchen or kitchenette, which will allow you to be more independent in your meals and in the way you spend your time in your accommodation. The apartments meet all standards of comfort – from small studios to multi-bedroom apartments that can accommodate up to 10 people.
