Family Ski Holidays With Childcare
Skiing holidays are fantastic options for families. But sometimes you just want to hit the slopes or enjoy a nice dinner out. It’s natural to worry about childcare, but we take our commitment to each customer seriously.
Each year, we send our dedicated staff to international resorts to review the childcare on offer. Most have children and understand what you’re looking for.
So, view our destinations with childcare, choose the one that suits your needs, and book with confidence today.
Find the Best Destinations With Childcare
Whether you choose classic European resorts in Switzerland, France, Austria, and Italy, or opt for a Canadian or US ski holiday, you’ll find plenty of childcare options available.
Some resorts offer children’s clubs, giving adults time to enjoy the slopes, while others offer babysitting services.
Choosing a luxury resort can also give you access to a private nanny.
Important Note: Skiers with young children should be aware that some destinations only offer childcare for children aged six months or over, while others may have a slightly lower age limit. Germanic resorts may not provide childcare unless the child is over three or out of nappies.

Our Childcare Options
There are different types of childcare on offer. The right one for your family depends on your budget, your chosen destination, and how long you’ll need childcare.Private Nanny
Most often, this will be an NNEB-qualified British nanny to look after your children. Rates can vary from around £400.00 - £1000.00 per nanny per week. A Private nanny offers great flexibility, as you could organise the nanny to meet you on the mountain with the children for lunch. If you have a group of children in your party, the nanny is a great option, as you can share the cost among multiple families and keep your children together in a homely environment (i.e., the chalet, apartment, or hotel).Creches
Private chalet companies often have in-house creche options for families, with employees working to strict NNEB (or equivalent) standards. Some parents might find the creche offers more flexibility, as children can meet other young people and socialise. Resort creches are another option, but some are less flexible with language. For example, if you go to France, the resort’s creche will often be less accessible due to language barriers.Kids Clubs
Kids clubs are highly popular, because they cater for children of different ages. Many also include ski lessons and other activities, making them ideal for family holidays. For example, you can drop your child off in the morning while you hit the slopes, pick them up for lunch, and then go back to skiing. Clubs are also flexible, as you can choose which days your child visits, rather than feeling like they have to attend each day. If you have children of different ages, it’s a good idea to choose a resort that caters for everyone.How to Find Childcare Ski Holidays With Snowfinders

FAQs
Which ski resorts in Europe are best for families?
It would be impossible to list them all! There are plenty of excellent ski resorts for families in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. Smaller resorts in countries like Sweden and Bulgaria may be less established, but they’re quieter and more affordable.Are the US and Canada good for childcare ski holidays?
Both the US and Canada have a range of ski resorts with convenient childcare options and plenty of non-ski activities. The main consideration for families travelling from the UK is flight time, which can be challenging with young children.Do kids' clubs include ski lessons?
Most do - especially in established resorts. So, you don’t just pay for someone to look after your children, they’ll also learn about skiing and can develop their skills. Some clubs also offer lunch and dinner, so parents and adults can enjoy advanced slopes and romantic dinners.How much does childcare cost in European ski resorts?
It depends on where you go and the type of childcare you choose. For example, creches might cost between £450 and £835 for six days, while clubs that provide lunch, lessons, and evening activities are more expensive. It’s the same with private babysitters, with the average rate being €15/hour. Again, high-class resorts in France and Switzerland may be more expensive. If you visit during the school holidays or festive season, you can expect to spend more.Popular hotels and chalets with exceptional child care facilities
