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....

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
