Can a family ski trip be stress free?

Ski holidays can be such a magical experience for children. For parents, however, it can be hard work dealing with all the logistics entailed. The queues to buy lift passes, the hassle of hiring equipment, getting tired kids back to the chalet at the end of the day….. it all takes up precious time and energy and can take the fun out of the trip. That’s where our luxury family-friendly ski chalets come in.

On a truly relaxing family ski holiday, the ultimate luxury is to have all those little details taken care of by a helpful and friendly team of ski chalet staff. After all, the last thing you and your children want to do after an exhausting journey is traipse around town, in and out of crowded ski hire shops and supermarkets.

What to look out for when picking your family-friendly chalet

Staying in a luxury ski chalet from the Firefly Collection is a little different – you won’t have to lift a finger, so you can spend your precious time enjoying those magical family moments. Every chalet provides the kind of five star cosseting that turns a family holiday into an unforgettable experience.

Your chalet staff can have lift passes ready for you, organise in-house boot fittings and find you an English-speaking ski instructor who is great with kids. Whatever you need – high chairs and cots, childcare services or special foods – can be ready and waiting.

You could have a chauffeur-driven 4×4 at your disposal too, ferrying children to and from lessons, and saving you from exhausting treks in ski boots, loaded down with skis and sticks, or waiting around for buses. Your driver can whisk the family off to the slopes in the morning and be waiting for you at the end of the last run to take you back at the chalet for a tasty afternoon tea. No more tired, hungry, tearful children – they’ll be eager to get home and tuck into fresh-out-of-the-oven cakes and hot chocolate.

Firefly luxury ski chalets offer a bespoke and personal service, which means your children can have their favourite foods served up at times to suit them. So if you want early suppers every night, or a separate kids’ meal, it’s no problem.

Many of our luxury ski chalets also offer in-chalet crèche services during the day, leaving you to make the most of your well-earned break.
