For the 1st winter in 5 years, I am no longer (i) pregnant; & (ii) breast-feeding. Time to book a snow boarding trip. I've done plenty of resorts over the years, but none with 3 kids in tow... Older boys will be 3 & 4 by Christmas, & was hoping to get them into a ski school. Recommendations for resorts/hotel/chalet/ski school all welcome.

We went this year with a 3 and 2 yr old, and some generous grandparents who helped with the childcare. We stayed in a catered chalet in Les Gets with a company called Reach 4 the alps which was fabulous. Short transfer from Geneva and a good little walkable resort with access to a huge ski area. Our 3 year old did morning esf ski school (which wasn't super successful but that as maybe him?!?), he also had a couple of snowboard lessons with Mint snowboard school which were great. We didn't really look into childcare for this trip, but there are a load of chalet companies that provide nannies (we have used vip chalets in the past and friends used their nannies). Also there's ski famille that specialise in that kind of thing.


We found having our own chalet brilliant with the kids...but there aren't many small chalets. We are thinking about going again next year and the only thing I would do differently is try and find an english run ski school for the children - the esf-group of 20 3 yr olds-mostly french speaking lessons weren't great!


I've come across loads of other children friendly options - esprit and Mark Warner look good. People recommended Scott Dunn but eeeeek soooo expensive! Also I know the owner of this company and it sounds good if you like austria and hotels - http://www.familyskiholidays.com/. Kinder hotels sound good too....


There were a couple of threads on this last year....

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
