Ski Resort Facts - Childrens Facilities, Val d'Isere, France

VAL D'ISERE CHILDRENS FACILITIES
Snow bear Val d'Isere

In Val d'Isere there are two nurseries which will look after children from 3 years of age. For younger children & babies there is the option of child care within the chalet, there is currently only one organisation offering this service in Val d'Isere (see Les Farfadets below). Alternatively, we are happy for our clients to bring their own nanny au pair.

In Val d'Isere children aged 4 and under ski for free, also, the nursery slopes in Val d'Isere are free so if your children are aged over 4 they may not require a lift pass until the middle of the week.

We are happy to advise our ski chalet holiday clients on any of the following Val d'Isere nursery childcare services. We can also make bookings for the nurseries but would recommend that child care within the chalet is booked direct with the respective organisation.

For a fun way to entertain children in Val d'Isere see our ValdIsere Diary 04/01/08.

Evening Baby-Sitting
A list of registered baby-sitters is available from the Val d'Isere tourist office, most of them will be French. Les Farfadets (details above) may also be able to organise evening babysitting.

Alternatively, with advance warning, we are happy, using our network of staff and friends, to attempt to find our clients a baby-sitter. Please be aware that this can be difficult in the evenings particularly on the staff day off and can only be done on the understanding that all arrangements regarding hours, payment, responsibilities etc. are between our clients and our staff/friends. It is not normally possible for our staff to baby-sit during the hours they would normally be working.

NOTE
For clients who have booked one of our holidays, we are very happy to help make all arrangements for nursery, cr¸che and babysitting, but please be aware that we ourselves do not provide these services and we therefore cannot be held responsible if you are unhappy with the facilities or services provided.

For the equivalent Sterling figures at the current exchange rate.
