Which company/location offers childcare/ski play where ds 6 and dd 3 could be together?

Dh is very keen to take family skiing but I'm apprehensive as I think dd would be upset being left in a creche etc She would probably be ok if with her big brother. Is there anywhere where this would be possible?
Otherwise any suggestions to make a ski break possible and not too stressful. We don't have any grandparents etc to take with us.

We went ski-ing last year with Total and could have had a nanny come round to the chalet to take care of the children while we ski-ed. I think lots of the chalet people do this.

Isn't Total related to Esprit ? Caters more for the older kids market imho. Kinderhotels and Kids hotels offer childcare ( but not necessarily native English speaker carers) which may be more flexible or book a chalet with an allocated nanny (think Crystal have some). Trouble is for skiing holidays the needs of a 6yr old are very different to that of a 3yr old. We used to go to a Kidshotel with orus at that age, ds would ski in the morning and dd stayed in hotel creche then we were more flexible in the afternoons, or dh and ds would ski together and I'd look after dd or occasionally put her in a creche (with a little bribery!) and join them.

My daughter was 2 last year when we went ski-ing with Total (the other 5 children were a bit older) and we could have had a nanny for her, or even for a younger baby, with Total no problem.

The advantage of a chalet is that you have lots of space for the children to play in their own space. We really loved having a huge living room for the six children to jump about in.

If you have a nanny you will have to fill a whole chalet. TBH you would be suprised at your 3 year old in places like Crystal and Esprit they are in a creche with others of similar ages, then at Lunch the older ones join them. After lunch the older ones can be in teh crech as well.

TBH trying to keep hem together would be hard as youds will want to learn to ski and the 3 year oild is too young. Wait a couple of years untlt he yonger turns 5 and they can learn to ski together or risk a creche where they will have others of similar ages (English if you are with esprit or crystal).
