Why family ski chalets make winter holidays easier

Designed for skiing with children of all ages

Whether you're skiing with children, teenagers, or your adult kids, family ski holidays should be fun for everyone. When you book a family-friendly ski chalet, you are sure to provide a memorable holiday in a spectacular location to all members of your family, thanks to the children’s equipment as well as the adaptable, family-friendly spaces on offer, from play areas to quiet reading corners.

Space, comfort and flexibility for the whole family

OVO Network partner chalets offer large living spaces, parental suites with en-suite bathrooms, double rooms with twinnable beds, or even children’s rooms with bunk beds. Everyone can be sure that they will be able to find their own space when you pre-book an OVO Network partner chalet. Each property is selected for its range of equipment, comfortable facilities and luxury details.

Self-catered chalets that adapt to your family routine

We offer self-catered chalets which give you full flexibility during your holiday, so you can dine in – or out – when it suits you. No need to plan a night out every day when you would rather stay at home and make use of your own high-end, fully equipped kitchen, for a memorable dining experience in the comfort of your private chalet.

Family ski chalets with extra comfort and facilities

Cool for Kids chalets: baby and toddler essentials included

Why not stay in a family ski chalet that comes with all the handy extras? Each OVO Network partner chalet is fully equipped and ready to welcome your family – all of them include essential baby goods that you can use, such as a cot, a baby bath and a high chair. However, Cool for Kids chalets are especially designed for children, with even more features available! They offer more children's entertainment, kid-proof tableware, as well as safety features such as stair gates and electrical outlet covers. Practical extra details include a bath seat or a changing table, so that families have everything they need – perfect for babies right through to children up to their teenage years.

Chalets with pools, jacuzzis and games rooms

Our partner properties are perfect for young children, but they will also make parents and older kids happy! While children play in the snow or enjoy a game night, why not enjoy the luxury of a private hot tub with spectacular views? Use our search function to browse through our range of chalets with a pool, a jacuzzi or a hot tub, for an exclusive well-being experience.

Entertainment, Wi-Fi and family-friendly living spaces

All our ski chalets have plenty of extras for all the family, such as televisions with English and French channels, DVDs, games, books, free Wi-Fi, and more! Some thoughtful details that make your rental property feel even more like home, so that there is always something to do after the last piste of the day.

Family ski chalets for all group sizes

Small family chalets for cosy ski breaks

No need to come with a large group to enjoy the luxury of a holiday in the mountains. Our partner chalets come in various sizes – a “mazot”, for instance, easily sleeps a smaller group of 2 to 4 people, while offering comfortable living spaces as well as beautiful views.

Large chalets for extended and multi-generational families

Coming with a big group might be a source of stress, but by pre-booking an OVO Network partner chalet, you are sure that every member of the family will get to enjoy their own space while being able to spend time together in large and comfortable living spaces. Large chalets are available, accommodating up to 15 people.

Services to make your family ski holiday stress-free

Ask us about extra services such as a private nanny, childcare or concierge services, catered gourmet meals or grocery deliveries. We are in touch with the best local experts who can provide you with exclusive experiences whatever your location. Feel free to let us know what you need, and we will make sure to check their availability, so that all you have to think about is getting on your skis.

Family-friendly ski resorts in the French Alps

Easy access resorts close to Geneva airport

Many of our available properties in France benefit from an exceptional and easy-to-reach location, within an hour's drive from Geneva airport, like La Clusaz, Le Grand-Bornand, Morzine and Les Gets, so you'll be in your beautiful, luxury chalet in no time with the possibility to hop onto your skis and enjoy the day. 

More than skiing: activities kids will love off the slopes

A winter break doesn't have to revolve around skiing and snowboarding! Our holiday chalets are in ski areas that provide plenty of activities and events. During school holidays, there's extra fun for kids, with child-friendly entertainment and activities, plus swimming pools, ice rinks, and more! Keep in mind that some of these activities need to be booked ahead. You can also enjoy the local cuisine, thanks to various restaurants or fine-dining options. And of course, at the end of the day, why not enjoy the luxury of your own private spa or hot tub while admiring the panoramic views?

Skiing with kids: everything made simple

Ski areas and ski schools perfect for beginners and teens

Most resorts in France have excellent baby slopes as well as beginner skiing for children, and advanced skiing and snowboarding options for the older kids. Slopes of all levels are available, so the younger ones can practise on an easy piste while the rest of the group takes the lift to take on more challenging routes. Childcare options are also available and ready to welcome your kids from a few months old up to teenage years, so that you are free to explore the slopes while your child is in good hands. 

Lift passes and ski zones designed for families

Each village, like Combloux or Saint-Gervais, offers its own range of passes. You can usually choose between a season pass, a day pass, a half-day pass, or a beginner’s pass. Pre-book your passes early in the season to enjoy exclusive deals! You can pre-hire ski equipment early as well, to make sure that you get the best offers.

Snow-sure resorts and north-facing slopes

It's always a good idea to check out a resort's snow conditions when you're choosing your chalet. Resorts with north-facing slopes are popular for their great skiing conditions, while a village at a higher altitude will be covered in snow longer in the season. Make sure you search for the best option that will allow you to make the most suitable booking for your group.

When to book a family ski chalet

School holidays and peak winter weeks

School holidays are always a busy time in ski resorts. Availability is limited, so start the search for accommodation early to secure your chalet. The same applies to ski equipment – make sure to pre-hire skis, boots, poles and helmets so that you have all you need to enjoy the slopes as soon as you arrive.

Easter ski holidays and late-season skiing

Easter holidays are always popular: longer days, sunshine on the slopes, warmer temperatures… Spring in the mountains is a perfect season to enjoy both the snow and the beauty of nature, so make sure you complete your booking early as Easter ski breaks are already getting booked up!
