Choosing the right accommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure your family winter holiday in the Alps is a success, choosing the right accommodation is essential. Accommodation in a good location<\/strong>, close to the slopes, ski schools and shops, makes daily organisation easier and reduces travel time. Accessibility, especially in winter, is a key factor for stress-free travel with children.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to comfort, choose accommodation equipped with useful accessories for a family stay. The OVO Network\u2019s Cool for Kids<\/strong> label is a guarantee of peace of mind, as it ensures that all the essential equipment for babies and children is provided (high chairs, cots, suitable crockery, safety sockets, games and toys, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
