Skiing is a
sport and pastime that is growing more and more in popularity every single
day. Because of this, people with
families are choosing to take their loved ones to beautiful snow covered ski
resorts to give them a holiday that they’ll remember for the rest of their
lives. Getting young children to take part in skiing at a young age is
beneficial for both them, and their parents. The tricky part is finding
somewhere that will keep the parents and the children happy. That’s where we
come in. In this article we’ll take a look at some of the best Skiing resorts
in France that cater for people both young, and old.
Avoriaz –
First on our list is the picturesque Avoriaz. The first thing you’ll notice
when you get here is how quiet and peaceful it is. There’s a reason for that.
There are no cars. That alone should give you a little peace of mind, knowing
that your children are just that little bit safer. Rather than cars, the only
things you will need to be wary of are: Horses and carriages. Yes you did read
that right, the locals here get around by Horse-drawn carriages. These alone
help to give this place a distinctly magical feel. There are ski schools for
youngsters to learn how ski from an early age, and on top of that, as if skiing wasn't enough fun for you and your kids. There’s also a water park in the
region as well.
Megeve – If rustic is what you seek then look no further. Megeve oozes rustic charm and has a certain charm about it that simply cannot be replicated. Despite this, it operates as a fantastic, fully functional, modern ski resort that has become one of the most popular in the region. There are slopes and runs for beginners, seasoned experts, and everybody in between. If your children are fond of fast food, and let’s face it 90% of all children are, you may be pleased to learn that there’s a McDonalds restaurant nearby. So that’s tea taken care of for at least one day of your holiday. Organising a Megeve transfer is simple to with a number of companies offering their service and the transfer time is only around 1 hour.
La plagne –
This area is home to an extremely impressive 11 resorts! You’ll be spoilt for
choice if you decide that this region is for you. They have skiing activities,
ice climbing, free buses, and cable cars to transport you up and down your
favourite skiing runs. This region has something for everybody, including your
children, who will be extremely well catered for.
Chamonix – No
article about skiing would be complete without mentioning Chamonix, which is
arguably the most popular and highly visited skiing region in the entire world.
Don’t be put off by this as it’s still a very peaceful and picturesque region.
You should take note however, that Chamonix does host a number of runs that are
intended for serious, professional skiers that are not intended for novices.
Never fear, because there are still a very large number of perfectly safe, fun
runs that everybody can enjoy safely. Chamonix is a large resort which means
that this destination can provide you with absolutely everything required to
ensure that you and your children have a fantastic time here. Like Megeve the resort is ideally located only 1 hour from Geneva and the guys at Chamonixfirst can organise all your travel needs.
Les Karellis- perfect for people with especially
young children, Les Karellis is another resort that is car free. The area has a
number of different locations where you can hire absolutely everything that you
would ever need on a skiing holiday. It is even baby friendly as there are
several outlets that allow you to hire baby cots, baths, high chairs, and much
more too. To allow you to take in the stunning scenery why not think about
hiring, what the locals call ‘Une Luge-Pousette’, a sledge for children that
will keep them entertained for hours.
If you want a quiet few hours to
yourself, away from the children, then there are several child minding clubs
and even a disco. There are obviously, several ski schools for children over 4,
so your kids can learn the fine art of skiing at a young age.
