Children at Chalet La Giettaz
Children are always welcome at Chalet La Giettaz. We offer safe and comfortable accommodation for kids of all ages, with plenty of great facilities and services to keep them occupied. After all, we understand that the key to a great family holiday is making sure the kids are happy – and if the parents get some free time to enjoy themselves then that’s a bonus! What's more, you can be sure that your kids will have an authentic French experience when you come to Chalet La Giettaz: we are an traditional mountain village, not a custom-built resort.
In the Chalet
We pride ourselves on having all the essentials for your kids, including cots, high chairs, bottle sterilisers and stair gates, all available to borrow at no extra charge.
We also have an extensive selection of toys, books, games, DVDs and video games to keep kids (and adults) occupied in the Chalet, again all available free of charge.
Kids are welcome to use the spa facilities, as long as an adult is supervising, although please be aware that the sauna is not recommended for under 5s, on medical grounds.
Baby monitors are at your disposal if you’d like to come and enjoy a drink in the bar in the evening, or if you’d like to venture further afield then we can organise a local babysitter to come and look after the kids while you’re out.
Skiing and Snowboarding Lessons
The local ESF ski school at Le Plan runs children's lessons daily throughout the season. Prices are very good value in comparison to some of the larger French resorts, and the quiet local pistes mean your kids will learn the ropes very quickly. Lessons can be booked for kids of 3-4 upwards. Reservations in advance are recommended, particularly if you require an English-speaking instructor: please ask us for more details and we’ll happily pop down to the school to make the necessary arrangements for you.
Crèche Facilities
The crèche at Le Plan operates throughout the ski season. The friendly staff have had rave reviews from all our guests who used the crèche in winter 2009/10, so you can be sure that your kids will be happy and well looked-after while you are skiing. The crèche is right beside the ski lift, and the English-speaking staff will even collect your kids from their ski lessons. Great service!
Summertime
At present, there are no childcare facilities in the village during summer, although plans are afoot for a kids’ drop-in centre. Please watch this space for further details.
