Families & children
The Chamonix Mont Blanc ski area, whilst known for extreme skiing, is also particularly
well suited to family ski holidays and first time skiers and snowboarders. Ski areas such as Les
Houches and La Flegere are ideal spots to learn to ski with their gentle beginner slopes.
Après-ski
Each resort around Paradiski offers something different in terms of the type and quantity of apres-ski venues. For lively apres-ski bars and clubs that stay open until the early hours, Les Arcs and La Plagne are the places to stay. In these two ski resorts, there are many cafes, bars and restaurants serving up local and international dishes.
For a more relaxed apres-ski scene, the best resorts are Les Coches and Montchavin. These smaller villages are much quieter than Les Arcs and La Plange which is more attractive for families.
