It’s an opportunity to recharge your batteries, but also to have a good time with your family. If you're hesitant about hitting the slopes this winter, here are some reasons that might convince you.
Discover skiing with children
Skiing is not a sport like any other, you cannot practice it all year round, even in Norway. It is a tradition for some familiesbut a completely new experience for children. Going on a family ski vacation is an opportunity for the little ones to learn to ski. It’s a unique experience for them and the opportunity to potentially discover a passion. Even for less athletic children, skiing often seems easier and more fun for them to learn.
In the stations, you can find numerous instructors and courses specially dedicated to youngbut also for adults for those who wish to discover skiing in all its forms. This can become a ritual for children who will progress over the years and earn their snowflake and then their first stars. Skiing is a fun activity for children, they can quickly learn while being accompanied and in a group with other children. Even for those who are not keen, ski resorts offer activities to satisfy everyone without necessarily spending all their time on the slopes. For beginners, whether parents or children, it is necessary choose the most family-friendly stationsthey offer more activities and trails for beginners to learn and have fun in the best conditions.
Get together with the whole family
Going on vacation as a family is, above all, about getting together and strengthen ties between each member of the family. While we tend to spend the end-of-year holidays in large groups, a family vacation allows us to get together, whether around Christmas or in February. It is also an opportunity to take a break with the family in a comfortable and warm chalet to chat and share good times. We can even imagine spending Christmas in an idyllic setting around the fire with the snow outside. Skiing activities are particularly intense and fun to enjoy as a family to create good memories. We can assess the level of the children over the years and have fun together.
THE family ski vacationit's the time to get closer in complete relaxation after days full of activity and to share good memories. In addition to taking a break, being away from home in winter is also a good way to completely disconnect from school for the children and work for the parents.
A special moment as a couple
A family vacation doesn't necessarily mean spending all your time with the children. Going on vacation in winter is also a good idea for parents and couples. While the children are busy during their ski lessons, parents can enjoy some peace and quiet to relax or quietly enjoy the slopes. When we go to family ski resorts, we have the possibility of having the little ones looked after in crèches or daycare centers in order to have peace of mind to enjoy the holidays. You can then take advantage of the many activities offered in the resorts, such as a spa or massage session to recharge your batteries and enjoy a moment for two.
There are also many restaurants and bars to spend some time as a couple away from the children to get together. The mountain scenery and atmosphere are perfect for parents to find a little privacy while the children have fun on the slopes.
Have an even more magical Christmas
Traditionally, we spend Christmas at home or with a family member to get together. However, to change, we can choose to spend Christmas in the mountains for more fun and magic. By renting a sufficiently large chalet or by meeting all in the same resort, you can enjoy Christmas Eve by meeting in a quality restaurant in the heart of the mountain. It's an enjoyable experience for children who can have fun and enjoy the snow during the holidays, while parents are free from the organization and preparation for the many family meals.
While snow is lacking almost everywhere in France during the month of December, we are sure to have it in the ski resorts in order to have the ideal atmosphere for opening our gifts. It's even more magical for children who will be able to enjoy the pleasures of the snow and contemplate the Christmas decorations in the resorts. For parents, knowing that everything is organized and that they just have to enjoy for once is a relief.
Take advantage of advantageous rates
We know it, ski holidays are not the cheapestnevertheless as a family, we can enjoy advantageous rates. Whether for transport, accommodation, ski passes or even equipment, you can benefit from attractive discounts all year round. This is an important point since we know that vacations can be a sacrifice for parents. If you plan well in advance and select the right resorts, you can enjoy a stay without breaking the bank too much. It can be interesting to monitor possible promotions around Black Friday for example, but you should avoid booking at the last minute if you don't want unpleasant surprises.
