The big challenge: cutting down on logistics

With children, being close to the slopes makes a real difference. It's easy to pop back if someone is cold, tired or has forgotten a piece of kit. Chalet Jepima is around 100 metres from the slopes and has ski lockers.

Planning a child-friendly day

For young children, full days on the slopes can be too long. A morning session, a quiet lunch and something light in the afternoon often make for better memories than a packed schedule.

Getting the clothing right

  • Layer up rather than relying on one very thick garment.
  • Pack a spare pair of gloves.
  • Use proper ski socks – one pair, not several.
  • Protect necks and faces when the wind picks up.
  • Label each child's belongings clearly.

Family meals

The fully equipped kitchen lets you alternate between restaurants and simple meals at the apartment. A raclette, a pierrade or a quick dinner – no need to head back out after a day on the slopes.

What if a child doesn't want to ski?

It's best not to turn skiing into a chore. The resort offers plenty of other winter activities. A rest, a walk or something fun can be all it takes to get back on the slopes happily the next day.

Practical tipLay out clothes and equipment the night before. Morning departures become so much smoother.
