Chamonix for New Year with Kids
Can anyone give me useful advise - I'm traveling to Chamonix for a week at New Year with my two kids ages 6 & 4, my six year old has skied a couple of lessons before. I'll be staying in the town center - specifically looking for ski school opinions; kid friendly restaurents; and travel times on the bus to various lifts.
Any other advise welcomed Thanks Simon |

Personally I would not chose Chamonix as resort to take children to at the ages of yours. Mine is 8 now and a very accomplished skier, I still would go elsewhere for convenience and ease of access to the slopes. However being in Chamonix would be much more preferable than where I will be at New Year. Have fun Clive |

Chamonix for New Year with Kids
If your actually going to be skiing up in Argentiere get your kids bookd
into the panda club. We go every year drop the kids off from 8:00 and pick then up at 18:00. Well we don't actually leave them that long but they cater from 6 months to 12 years and would recommend them to anyone. They also have something an Chamonix itself but don't know about that. Same web site though. http://www.panda-club.com "Simon Wootton" wrote in message ...

You also need us wishing you good luck with the buses with two that small kids. The service is bad, they need to pack them 100% full including standing passengers, often the bus just pass you because it's already full. If you choose not to go the same time as most others will, it may be easier. I wish you good luck anyway :-) /Tommy |
