Ski Half Term
Well the Ski Half Term Week is already half way through and it certainly seems to be one of the most popular family ski weeks for many years in French ski regions with what seems the whole of Paris on holiday, large parts of Italy, and in the UK both public and private schools having the same half term week for the first time.
Thankfully with such great snow conditions the resorts appear to be coping well with demand with slopes from the top to the bottom of the mountains generally in great shape. So for those enjoying some great snow and the best ski slopes in Europe, have a great ski half term family ski holiday.

Family Skiing Chamonix
Chamonix is often seen as a steep and deep resort, loved for its off-piste and therefore not a great resort for family skiing holidays. This however is not a fair representation, as Chamonix has two great family ski areas in La Tour and Les Houches. The latter is particularly geared to family skiing with a great ski school, a snow garden at the base of the resort (Jardin des Neiges) for the small children, a travelator at the top of the mountain and short chair set in a gentle sunny bowl, and great blues and reds to build confidence.
The other great factor regarding a family ski Chamonix holiday is related to the standard of chalets available. The catered chalet market in Chamonix is competitive and strong and therefore differentiation has led to a sharp rise in the standard of chalet accommodation in this ski resort. Most chalets here are of a luxury chalet standard in other resorts. And therefore the luxury catered chalets are typically what it states on the label, real luxury.
And judging by the huge demand for the peak school holiday ski weeks of Christmas, New Year, and Half-Term, the secret regarding how good Chamonix is, and les Houches in particular are regarding family ski chalets and as a resort, is no longer such a well kept secret.
Next week we'll focus on the best ski in ski out chalets that are ideal for family skiing in Chamonix.
