Children in Les Gets The resort has a weekly calendar of events for children. Les Gets has developed as a family centred resort with dedicated ski areas for children and activities for all ages. At the chalet toboggans are provided and for tiny tots there is an outdoor wendy house and slide in the garden. After skiing, family après ski happens at the outdoor ice rink, ice dancing, music, street entertainers and the occasional glass of mulled wine for parents. The Milka Cow on skis hands out free chocolate during holiday periods on the slopes . Les gets has just been voted top in Europe for childrens facilities and features in the Daily Telegraph’s recommended family resorts.

Nanny service At Chalet Perdu I offer a dedicated professional nanny service. Prices depend on the ages of the children and how many children are being looked after. This can be a full weekly service, a nanny team will arrive at the chalet each morning taking children to ski school, collecting from ski school and if you wish can bring the children to meet you for lunch on the mountain. For infants and toddlers the service is chalet centred with walks to the village, play in the garden, building snow men and and also to the play park - its also possible for babies to travel with your nanny via the telecabin to meet you throughout the day. Alternatively you can prebook the nanny service for part or single days if you want adult freedom inside a family holiday - a pricing guide can be found on the availability page
