Chalet Brio has been flexibly designed with all the elements that make a successful family holiday; there’s plenty of space for enjoying family time together and quieter places to relax, you can all sit down to eat together or younger children can eat earlier in the evening, upstairs there’s a separate play area with a TV and DVD so that you don’t all have to watch TV. Two of the five bedrooms have extra beds and bathrooms with both a bath and a shower. If you need a cot or a high chair we can provide it, you can heat up baby foods and drinks in the microwave and use the fridge to keep things fresh.
La Terrasse is ideal for families or smaller groups wanting to self cater, with a spacious living, eating and dining area, games & satellite TV, ipod dock, and well laid out bedrooms and extra double sofa bed. |
Childcare:
It’s always important to know that your children, especially the youngest, are well taken care of; there is a crèche on the slopes at Morillon 1100 which takes children from six months old and another crèche in Samoens town centre which takes from 3 months. We have had good feedback from both. |

Or we can put you in touch with a qualified English child minder. It’s best to book ahead at busy times as places do get booked up quickly. |
Skiing as a family:
For real beginners we would suggest Samoëns 1600, the ski schools and all the beginner lifts are situated around the plateau and are easy to access, equipment can be hired from the ski shop and left there at the end of the day, it’s an easy place to meet up and there are several restaurants nearby.

More adventurous children can lead their parents off to the summit at Tête de Saix and over into Flaine where there are enough green, blue, red and black runs to keep everyone happy. Or you take the lift up to Morillon 1100, from there an expanse of runs opens up across the bowl and over the ridge to Les Carroz, where tree lined runs criss cross the mountain. |
Again it’s easy to get back to base to meet up. Both areas have a good Jardin de Neige for younger children. Keeping children happy in ski school can be a challenge; we can advise on the different options available and put you in touch with independent instructors as well as the local French ski school. |
Après ski:
Not all children collapse with exhaustion after a days skiing, if they still need to work off some energy try the skating rinks at Samoëns or Morillon, practice tobogganing and ski techniques on the slope behind the chalet or enjoy the selection of games and puzzles inside. |
