There's no reason for you to take a break from skiing just because you've had children. Ski resorts nowadays are well equipped with plenty of great options to offer you and your family so that everyone can have fun in the snow. And one thing we all know to be true is that if the kids are happy, you're happy!
Every family is different and so it's important that the ski resort you choose offers the childcare options that will suit you and your family. We're pleased to be able to offer a great choice which includes nursery, indoor and outdoor fun and games as well as ski tuition.
As it is such a personal choice, our advice is to speak to our friendly team to discuss the kind of thing you're looking for so that we can guide you to the best resort that will cater for your family's needs.

When it comes to childcare to complement your ski holiday, look no further than Grandvalira! This big resort in the little country of Andorra really does have it all. The options include:
Nursery
For children aged 2-5, the Nursery is the perfect option for kids who aren't yet ready to take to the slopes. A warm and comfortable environment with fully trained staff awaits your little ones. Sessions can be booked in either half-day or full-day slots and lunch can be added as well, giving you the option to drop off in the morning and pick up again at the end of the day.
Snow Garden
Grandvalira's Snow Gardens are gently sloped parts of the piste that have been carefully chosen and separated from the main ski areas to give younger kids a quiet and private area to learn to ski without the fear of older kids and adults racing through. Each Snow Garden has a magic carpet as well to get young skiers back to the top of the slope again, so there's no worrying about drag lifts or char lifts. Snow Garden sessions run for 3hrs in the mornings but can be extended to a full-day where the afternoon is spent doing fun games and activities. The Snow Garden packages are for children aged 3-6.
Kids' Programme
This is a fantastic package for kids from the age of 3-11 (groups are divided into 3-5 and 6-11) that combines ski tuition, supervised lunch and afternoons of indoor and outdoor activities that can include things such as igloo building, snow-shoeing, skidoos and zip lines! The Kids' Programme is available for full-day sessions only and allows you drop the kids off in the morning and then pick them up at the end of the day.
Group Lessons
If your little one perhaps aren't that little any more, or maybe they're just a bit more adventurous, then the Junior Group Lessons might be better suited. Lessons run for 3hrs each day and must be booked as a minimum of three consecutive days. This is suitable for children aged 6-11.
In Pila, you can use the Kinderheim Miniclub, run by the Pila Ski School. The Miniclub is run from the building adjacent to the ski school and access the slopes directly.
Vallnord combines the linked resorts of Arinsal and Pal, both of which offer childcare facilities.
