There can be a lot to think about, and a lot of different people in the group to please. However, France is a great option for a family ski trip. There are ski resorts in France that offer great value for money, whilst giving you access to some of the most stunning mountains in the world. <strong>Here are our top five tips for making the most of family ski holidays in France.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>1. Choose a ski resort with a variety of pistes<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll have different levels of skiers in your family. Check out the piste map of your resort before you go and see what types of runs are in resort. Ideally, you want to have a good mixture of all levels. This gives little kids and beginners an opportunity to start on appropriately challenging terrain and gives the more advanced skiers adventure so that they aren\u2019t bored.<\/p>\n<p>And even if everyone is a beginner, you\u2019ll want to be able to progress onto more challenging slopes as the week goes on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Partake in some non-skiing activities<\/h2>\n<p>Another great way to make sure everyone in the family has fun, is to mix up the activities. Grab a bum board and go sledging around the village after a day on the slopes, or check out some of the larger sledge runs for bigger kids. Go see some live music and have a bit of an apr\u00e8s session. Take a day or afternoon off skiing to g<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/fr\/whats-courchevels-aquamotion-centre-really-like\/\">o swimming at Aquamotion<\/a>. Or treat yourself to a massage!<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/fr\/10-activities-in-courchevel\/\">activities in Courchevel<\/a> to keep everyone occupied.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Organise things in advance<\/h2>\n<p>There is something to be said for the over-organiser when it comes to family ski holidays. We\u2019re big fans of booking as much as you can in advance so that you can start relaxing as soon as you get to resort. Things to book in advance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Childcare &#8211; If you have a small child who won\u2019t be skiing, book them into the local creche or secure a nanny to come to your chalet.<\/li>\n<li>Ski Hire &#8211; Usually you can get great deals on ski hire when you book in advance, then all you have to do is pick it up once you arrive.<\/li>\n<li>Ski Passes &#8211; Again, you can often get discounts when booking through your accommodation provider, and they can have it waiting in your chalet for you upon arrival. One less thing you need to organise yourself.<\/li>\n<li>Ski School &#8211; For your children who are skiing, it\u2019s highly recommended to book them into lessons beforehand, especially during school holidays. Groups book up early, and it\u2019s a great chance for them to ski with other children and gives you some time on the slopes without them.<\/li>\n<li>Restaurants &#8211; If you\u2019re going for a catered ski chalet, book your chalet hosts\u2019 night off dinner well in advance. Restaurants fill up quickly, especially in La Tania!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage.jpg\" alt=\"fondue france\" width=\"1565\" height=\"1043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage.jpg 1565w, https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage-1030x686.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.ski-dazzle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Webp.net-resizeimage-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1565px) 100vw, 1565px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4. Indulge in the local fayre<\/h2>\n<p>When in France, right? Because you are going to a country with some of the best food in the world, take the chance to indulge. The French Alps is well-known for gooey, cheesy deliciousness. It\u2019s a great opportunity to share different food and culture with your children as well. Three cheese dishes we highly recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tartiflette &#8211; A baked dish made up of potato, onion, lardon, and the star of the dishL: Reblochon cheese<\/li>\n<li>Raclette &#8211; Originally this was a way for famers to use up cheese that was starting to go hard, however now it&#8217;s a favourite in the Alps. A Huge chunk of raclette cheese is put under a heat lamp on the table &amp; as it melts you scrape it off onto your plate of potatoes, salad &amp; meats.<\/li>\n<li>Fondue &#8211; You likely have heard of fondue &#8211; a melted pot of cheesy goodness that you dip pieces of bread into. There are a variety of different types of fondue you can order. We&#8217;ve found some with morel mushrooms in them before. Yum!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5. Stay somewhere lovely<\/h2>\n<p>Choose a great accommodation so that everyone can relax &#8211; yourself included &#8211; in a lovely environment.
