We're currently planning our second ever family ski trip, the first having been as disaster (I couldn't ski as unexpectedly pregnant for starters).
We will have a 4 yo and a 2.5 yo when we go.
We would use Esprit as they're about the right price bracket and the childcare ticks all the boxes but we prefer to drive rather than fly and Esprit offer no discount for self drive, nor inclusive tunnel tickets.
Ski famile/family ski seem too expensive (I would like to keep it under 2.5k including passes/lessons/travel/diesel etc).
I've looked at kinderhotels/familotel and they're too expensive.
I wondered if anyone had any experiences of using the resort's own creche and good resorts for this? Where to ski and snowboard is very negative about most of the French ones and that's putting us off. I'm also a bit apprehensive about the language barrier - Im worried that my eldest would find it terrifying. I'd rather use a creche than a ski nanny because he loves being with other children - that's plan C at the moment!
Gone are the days of getting my husband and me skiing for 1k all in, that's for sure!
