A seven-night private family ski week in Courchevel or Méribel: catered chalet, ski school places, a chalet nanny, and private transfers.

A family ski week has to work for the youngest and the strongest skier at the same time. The chalet is ski-in; ski school is a short walk; a nanny is arranged so the adults ski together at least some of the week.

The chef handles the evenings. We handle everything before you arrive.

Highlights

  • Ski-in catered chalet
  • Ski school and private lessons confirmed
  • Chalet nanny arranged
  • Private transfers from Geneva or Lyon
