We\u2019re always amazed how quickly our managers become experts on operating the various facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A surround sound system can bring the enjoyment of watching a film on a big screen to a whole new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-a-tv-room\">Design a TV Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently, a TV in every bedroom was often seen as a mark of a five star property. Nowadays, many guests watch YouTube or stream films, the news and sporting events through mobile devices, so are TVs in every room necessary? Plus, a TV license fee\/ PRS type fee is payable for each screen in a rental property, therefore a TV room can be a great alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A TV room can be a very useful facility for grandparents looking after kids at the chalet while parents head off to ski together, or if someone in the group wants a day off from the slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throwing a thick, fluffy, soft rug on the floor minimises sound transfer to other areas of the chalet, and makes the space comfy for kids to play\/sit or lie on!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-47366 size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Child friendly ski chalets often include work spaces and quiet second lounge areas\" class=\"wp-image-47366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-350x263.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1-1140x855.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1454-Rollon-home-office-combined-with-quiet-lounge-1.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Low tables, rugs and stools are perfect for quieter activities like jigsaws, drawing, puzzles, card games, or dominoes. We welcome guests of many different nationalities, therefore non-language specific games are ideal.

As with the pool table, ensure there is plenty of clearance around the table to chase down those smashes! Remember to have a stock of spare balls when the table moves out of doors \u2013 they do, and will, run off down the hill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-add-a-basketball-hoop-and-trampoline\">Add a basketball hoop and trampoline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some owners steer clear of trampolines as misuse can result in horrible accidents, but trampolines can be fun and great for keeping fit if used responsibly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strongly recommend providing safety nets, and make sure guests know there are guidelines on how to use trampolines safely in the chalet A-Z guide. Take a look at these guidelines issued by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rospa.com\/leisure-safety\/advice\/trampoline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ROSPA<\/strong><\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-47377 size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0338-Beauvoir12-Trampoline-and-basketball-hoop-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Child friendly ski chalets - with trampoline and basketball hoop.\" class=\"wp-image-47377\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ball games can be rather a challenge in the Alps, so think carefully before setting up a basketball hoop to ensure kids don\u2019t spend more time retrieving the ball than practising shots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most owners put the trampoline and basketball hoop away during the winter months, so reassembly time is a good opportunity to check that all is in good working order. Take this time to order replacement parts if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To summarise, focusing on younger guests helps owners to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/child-friendly-ski-chalets\/\">child-friendly ski chalets<\/a> that stand out from the competition.
