Family Ski holidays with baby facilities
Can anyone recommend a travel operator who can cater for two people
and a (will be) 8/9-month old baby? We'd like somewhere we can safely drop the young feller off for an hour or three. Time will be beginning of March (inflexible) for one week, destination Europe, preferably Courchevel/Meribel, Les Arcs, La Plagne or maybe Flaine. This is based on a need for gentle/progressive blues for Herself. -- -Pip |

That said, we've got plenty of the progressive blues and Mark Warner, Esprit and Crystal all come here - childcare facilities for all three generally get a good write-up although the quality of accomodation can be a bit variable and dependent on the chalet staff. Val d'Isere also have Scott Dunn if you're feeling flush - great childcare and great chalets. If you want somewhere a bit quieter, Monchavin at the bottom of La Plagne always used to be quaint and child-oriented with Simply (now Crystal Finest) and Esprit running the creches. Cheers, Matt |

They will look after the offspring from 09:00 to 17:30 (and do baby listening au soir too) if you want. Not, of course, cheap. Paul |

Well it turned out that Herself couldn't make the first week of March after all. We've booked Courchevel with Esprit; Mark Warner were the other main choice but only had a place in Val d'Isere, which from dim and distant memory isn't so good for nervous progressive skiers. Now the big decision: take board or skis? I'm kind of hankering for a new snowboard but perhaps I ought to rent a modern one and see how I get on with it. -- -Pip |

As a suggestion for anyone visiting Zermatt and requiring crèche facilities
for babies and young children I can recommend Kinderparadies. I have used them several times. They were always thoroughly reliable, and my little girl loved it. http://www.kinderparadies-zermatt.ch/ regards Paul "Pip Luscher" wrote in message ...
