Excellent for children

Creche Les 2 Alpes 1800 (+33 476 79 02 62) cares for children aged six months to two years. Garderie Le Bonhomme de Neige (+33 476 79 06 77) looks after children from two to six years. Espace Luge is a children’s play area at the base of the mountain with a trampoline, slalom course, snow-biking, tobogganing, tubing and an inflatable bob-run. The ESF runs ski kindergartens in the village, at Champameand at Les Crêtes, with lessons for little ones from three years combined with fun in the snow and indoor play and videos. ESI St Christophe is for children up to eight years. The European Ski and Snowboard School also runs classes for children.
The resort already has an excellent snowpark in the Toura area, a kids park and a Slide area with gully, canyons and waterfalls. But for the winter of 2012-13, the freestyle area has been extended and adapted for families who want to learn and have fun. The new playground will include moguls, jumps, a mini-pipe and small handrails. It will be an area for all ages and levels to try tricks.
