Friendly family skiing in Les Carroz

Whilst Covid is still making its effects felt, right across the Alps, and Brits not able to travel into France currently, it doesn't mean we can't all be thinking ahead to better times and our time back on the slopes..

We like to highlight some of our favourite resorts and for family friendly skiing the resort of  Les Carroz ticks all the boxes.

From the beginning it’s a resort that’s made for families - not least because it’s a mere 50 minute drive from the airport, meaning no long, stressful car journeys before the trip has even begun.

Whether your children are old enough to hit the slopes themselves or not, you’ll find the amenities they need. Children between 3 and 12 years old are able to use the Kid’O’Ski service, childcare supervised by qualified play leaders. Staff can accompany children to ski lessons and encourage them to enjoy a varied range of fun activities while Mum and Dad are living it up on the slopes.

Les Carroz is part of the Grand Massif ski area, boasting 265km of ski runs, one of the largest ski areas in France. Adults and older children can enjoy a huge 143 pistes, with something suitable for skiers of all abilities.

Off the slopes, you’ll find all the fun family activities you could dream of, including dog sledding and the famous Alpine rollercoaster, which takes riders on a scenic but hair-raising run! There’s even the option to ride wearing a VR headset for the ultimate immersive experience.

At Christmas Les Carroz ramps up the magic, making it a wonderful place for a festive family getaway. You can visit Santa Claus, wrap up warm for a walk around the ice sculpture show and take to the rink to show off your skating skills. There are shows and performances taking place in les Carroz throughout the festive season, and you can top off your trip with a stroll through a snow-sprinkled Alpine village. What could be more magical?
