Family Ski Chalets and Family ski Holidays

May is always a quiet month in the ski industry followed by June which is again relatively quiet but a little busier nevertheless. Rather than twiddle ones thumbs it is nevertheless quite a busy time as many operators look to maintain chalets, update next years prices and generally use the down time effectively.

From a family skiing perspective, its also a good time to appraise how the last season went, what went well and what could be improved. Improvements are key but probably no more so than on family ski holidays when children are involved to ensure they just love skiing thereafter and importantly the parents get some well earned R and R.

In the current climate however improvements have to be balanced against the financial constraints and with the pound so low against the Euro and Swiss Franc many are finding times difficult. The cream that rises to the top will therefore probably be the family ski companies that are able to get more out of their business for less. Therefore expect a few successes against quite a few failures! 

Ski Family Holidays

February will see the full launch of the Ski Family site that has been developed by Chalet Ski who are based in Gloucestershire and run by experienced family skiers who have been skiing for over 75 years collectively and operated in the travel industry for nearly 35 years collectively.

Therefore when you talk to Ski Family you can expect a high standard of expertise, support and advise as part of the Ski Family service and package.

Family Chalet

One of the great family friendly ski chalets is undoubtably Chalet Prarion in the picturesque village of Les Houches in the Chamonix Valley and this year their offering includes an in-house nanny and a Games Room.

Other developments in the family ski chalet world is the announcement that a new family friendly ski site called Family Chalets will launch in October, featuring just the very best chalets that don't just state they are a family friendly, but actually provide family friendly ski support, facilities, and services to make your family ski holiday a pleasant one.

Luxury Chalet Chamonix

From our own experiences, we for one don't believe that family ski holidays should be a compromise in terms of your luxury standards. Chamonix Exclusive we are pleased to advise are a ski operator that shares this view. A true ski in ski out chalet, this luxury chalet has been designed to ensure young and old can have a great time and enjoy the finer things in life. Six en-suite bedrooms, a Games Room, cinema projection, a hot tub, and four staff ensuring that this is one family ski holiday that will be truly special1

Haf Term Ski Holiday

Faster than most items in a January sale, the mad rush for the best half term ski holidays is certainly in full flow despite it being 8 months from the departure. This year the holidays we re pleased to advise have been split but this isn't making much difference in respect of availability with most good chalets having booked one, if not both the weeks (12th and 19th February 2011 respectively). Based on initial demand, don't hang around for late deals is our advise, as we doubt there will be such, no matter how bad the chalet!

Ski Family Holiday

Well here we are, in the void that occurs at the end of each season, and before things hot up as we search for next years family ski season. However, with the weeks such as half term, as well as Christmas and Easter, its never to early to start to look for that great family chalet.

Already some of the better family chalets are booked and as we go through the summer the choices start to diminish. Also by booking early you might get one or two early booking deals or extras from the best family ski operators, where as the family skiers who go for the late deals end up with the late ski deals at the worst chalets (I deliberately left out the word family)!!

Easter Ski

If you are thinking about the family ski holiday for the 2011 ski season, one of the options often missed is the Easter ski holidays which can provide some of the best snow, great sunshine, and long spring days. So the next time you take are looking for a great family ski holiday, you might want to just take a look at one of the best end of season ski secrets, the Easter ski holiday!
