If it’s a family skiing holiday that you’re looking for then you should be impressed by what you find in Samoens and the Grand Massif.
Samoens is one of the most child-friendly resorts we have come across and has been officially awarded ‘Famille Plus’ status, meaning it is recognised as providing a child friendly environment with lots of facilities & things for children to do.
Here’s a range of what’s on offer in Samoens
We are used to hosting children of all ages. Three of our bedrooms provide sufficient space for parents to share with their younger children, or alternatively there is ample bedroom space to place several older children together in their own bedroom for larger extended family groups. In total the chalet can sleep up to 15 guests.
In addition, to help ensure everybody’s enjoyment we provide the following facilities
There are several options if you require childcare during your stay with Chalet365. For all options we recommend booking well in advance as places are limited and they get booked up quickly especially at peak periods.
There is an excellent Kindergarten / Nursery centre in Samoens. They take children from 3months – 6 years old at the Childcare centre.
(NB add 10% for nursery care of children aged 3 months to 18 months)
You can download a full price list in the downloads section to the right.
Children from 3-6 years old can learn the basics of skiing in a safe environment at one of the Europe’s largest beginners areas at Samoens 1600m. ESF have several packages to offer with children rotating between childcare and skiing / playing on the nursery slopes.
Prices vary from €30 for a half-day lessons up to €112 for a full weeks ski lessons
They also offer a great system where children get accompanied between the nursery centre and the Ski School at Samoens 1600m. This means that young children can attend ski school in a morning and attend the nursery in the afternoon for example.
Full details of both services are available at the ESF website.
(N.B. children aged 6 and upwards will need a children’s lift pass)
Qualified Childcare is also available in resort and we are happy for children to be looked after at Chalet Falcon.
Prices vary between €15-€20/hour or around €100-200/day depending on the no. children and the services required.
Please note that lunches will have to be arranged directly with the Childcare providor and due to Insurance restrictions cooking facilities are not available at the chalet, though preparation of cold food, or use of the microwave is fine with prior agreement.
We pride ourselves on our children’s meals every bit as much as those for our adults. All meals are prepared from fresh ingredients and a menu is agreed in advance with both parents & children to ensure everybody’s wishes are met as much as possible. For children aged 12 and under, meals are served around 5.30-6pm depending on the ages of the children and are served in the main dining area.
Here’s a sample of what we serve:
