Ski In Ski Out Chalets

If you have selected a great family ski resort, the icing on the cake is probably picking a great ski in ski out chalet and one with a child care service preferably. There are the specialist family ski companies such as Espirit and one or two others, but if you want high end luxury then you really do have to search around. Chalet Prarion in Chamonix offers both and is a rare exception.

Another option is the new ski in ski out chalets site that just does ski in ski out chalets and holidays although many of these do not include childcare. Nevertheless half the battle is getting children to the slopes so perhaps this is something that is non-essential if ski in ski out is one of the critical factors?

Family Ski Holidays

Well here we are in May and for many family's their thoughts will be on the summer family holiday rather than ski variety. This said the early bird always catches the worm and now is possibly one of the best times to secure the family ski chalet for next season. Many family chalets are offering early bird discounts and by booking early you also get first choice rather than what's left. 

The peak weeks are however already selling fast and half term ski holidays are already proving popular with many family skiers as operators report many of the best family ski chalets in the best family ski resorts to be booked for the half term ski weeks.

Ski Half Term

If you end up looking for late ski availability for the ski half term vacation, a new site that is set to launch in October called Ski Half Term may be just what you need. Ski Half Term will be a dedicated site for ski half term availability from some of the best family chalets across the Alps.

Being half term, and one of the most popular weeks of the ski season, you may however want to check out availability before this and if you are looking for great ski in ski out properties, our friends at Ski In Ski Out Chalets have some excellent piste side properties.

Family Chalet

Already one of the best family chalet in the Alps is booking fast. Chalet Prarion, situated in the picturesque family ski resort of Les Houches in the Chamonix Valley, is one of the best family friendly ski chalets you'll find and includes four staff, of which one is the nanny, it has a great Games Room, cinema projection, and a luxury hot tub sunk into the decking. But as their availability shows, the best ski chalets aren't available for very long.

Ski Half Term

The half term ski holidays are already proving popular. This seasons break was somewhat difficult with public and private schools sharing the same week, whereas the 2011 ski half term break seems to be better spaced with the 12th February 2011 appearing predominantly private family skiers an the 19th February 2011 public schools.

Already the best family chalets seem to be showing limited, if any availability at all so the early birds really are getting the worm!

Ski In Ski Out

If you are looking for a great family ski resort, you clearly are a skier who puts his family first above all other considerations with the family's enjoyment the key criteria. Well on this basis, have you thought about going just one small step further and book a ski in and ski out chalet? Ski in ski out is the ultimate family chalet as it disperses with those uncomfortable journeys to and from the piste. Such family chalets allow the whole family to just put their skies on at the door and ski, and at the end of the day just ski back without the walk up steep icy hills. The perfect accompaniment to a great family ski resort.
