3. Choose the right activities

Enrolling your children in ski lessons is an excellent idea for them to learn while having fun. Ski schools offer lessons to suit every level, supervised by experienced instructors.

❤ Our favorite: Ski Patrol Experience

This unique adventure lets children discover mountain jobs in a fun and educational way. Supervised by professionals, they can have fun on a course specially designed for them. The program includes a mini-snowmobile circuit to feel the adrenaline rush of rescue workers, as well as a heli-lift simulation from the ground to the helicopter platform. This activity is not only fun, but also educational, enabling children to understand the importance of the work of mountain patrollers and rescuers.

4. Prepare the necessary equipment

Skiing equipment is essential for your children's safety and comfort on the slopes. Make sure your little skiers are well equipped with warm, waterproof clothing, gloves, hats and sunglasses. Don't forget sunscreen either, as the mountain sun can be very intense. Les Menuires Réservation can also help you reserve your ski equipment in advance, so you don't have to wait in long lines when you arrive.
 

5. Plan your trip

Traveling with children requires careful planning. Plan your journey and schedule regular breaks if you're traveling by car. Make sure you have something to occupy the children during the journey, such as games, books or films. And don't forget to pack snacks and drinks to keep them from getting hungry.

6. Plan time for relaxation

Even if skiing is the main activity, it's important to include time for the kids to relax. Les Menuires offers many options for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Take advantage of the aquatic areas, playrooms or snowshoe outings to vary the pleasures and allow the whole family to relax.

7. Ask about childcare services

For younger children who don't yet ski, Les Menuires offers childcare services and clubs adapted to every age group. These facilities offer fun and educational activities, allowing parents to enjoy the slopes with complete peace of mind.
Preparing a ski trip with children requires a little more planning, but the memories created are well worth the effort. By following these tips and taking advantage of the exclusive services offered by Les Menuires Réservation, you can be sure of an unforgettable family vacation.
