I've never been, but hubby v keen to take 5 and nearly 4 year old to ski in Feb half term, or end March. I'll have a 8 month old too, and are going just us 5. Does anyone have any recommendations for a resort? Maybe with a nursery so I could "give it a go" (eeek) but mainly one that'll make the kids love skiing and my holiday easy!!

Thanks EDF!

I went to one of the Kinderhotels near Goldeck in Austria this year with my then 4 yr and 18 month old. There was skiing on site for the really little ones, shuttle to ski resort (including ski school) and lots of fab childcare. I would highly recommend.
I like La Rosiere, it's higher (1850) so the snow doesn't melt in the afternoon as much, it's got plenty of easy runs, you can ski to Italy, usual ski school, and if you go with someone like SkiBeat then they can sort out childcare (both babysitting in the evening and some chalets have a creche).
We went to Katschberg in Austria, which I highly recommend! There is a nice very family friendly hotel where you can walk on and off the slopes called Hotel Cristallo. There is a free nursery too. Amazing pools and saunas! All food included with an incredible buffet, very high quality food. We went at Easter and were pretty lucky with the snow, but it would definitely have been better earlier in the season. We have 3 children too and the room set up was perfect. I think the nursery only takes over 3s, but we paid for a 1:1 nanny for a few mornings to stay with our youngest.
We went with Ski Famille to Les Gets with a two year old and 9 month year old. We stayed in a chalet and they both went into the onsite nursery. Highly recommend as nannies were lovely. We went in March. Other families in the chalet had 4 yr olds who all went out skiing.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
