If anyone on here has been to La Tania, particularly if you have been with preschoolers, I would love it if you could try to answer these questions...
I have a group trip booked in March with Le Ski. We are various generations of about five families, nearly filling a chalet. We have two 4.5 year olds, two 3.5 year olds, an unusually tall 2.5 yo and two under-1s. They are all booked into the chalet's own crèche, which means we adults can have the freedom to ski (or not) whatever hours we like. None of the kids have skied before.
- Ski schools for the 4, 3 and possibly 2yo. I have emailed about five of the independent/British staffed companies who have lessons starting in LT, they would be happy to take our 3s/4s in a 2hr private lesson together, but we aren't sure whether the 3 year olds would concentrate for that long and so whether to ask for a 1hr lesson price. Any ideas whether the average 3yo can cope with 2hrs, whether morning or afternoon is better, and perhaps if the 4yos should therefore go in the (cheaper) group lesson?
- Le ski nannies apparently take the kids to the snow park to play, any experiences of this, does it give them a taste of skiing or just mucking about?
- Are there any other snow nanny services that we should look at, who could pick up the younger ones from the chalet and try them out on baby skis at the snow park for short periods, or indeed can parents do this ourselves? (Some of the adults are novices so would be skiing only part of the day)
- Any other good tips about La Tania?! Recommended hire shops for kids stuff?
- Is it worth trying them on the indoor slopes (Hemel Hempstead is nearish us) before we go?
Thanks for advice, if anyone can.
