Families

Skiing and snowboarding make for one of the best family holidays you will ever enjoy together. Whether you are just introducing your children to wintersports for the first time, or have already come through the tuition stage to be happily off skiing together, a shared passion for the snow brings families together more than any other holiday we know!

Children in Chalets & Chalet Hotels

We recognise that both families with young children and groups of exclusively adults tend to feel more at home in a chalet with other like-minded guests. We therefore have a policy that children under 13 are not accepted in our chalets, except in the following three cases - which still means plenty of choice for Total families!

Three Ways to Join us as a Family

1. All our chalets and Chalet Hotels welcome families on the following peak holiday dates:-

Christmas (19th Dec)

New Year (26th Dec)

Half-Term (20th Feb)
Selected chalets also welcome families on the 13th February

Easter (All of April)

2. All our chalets are available to families on any other date, if you book the whole chalet for your party’s exclusive use.

3. All seven of our Chalet Hotels and all our Les Gets chalets are open to families with children on all dates, whether or not you book the entire property for your exclusive use.

Fantastic Value Child Reductions

The reductions shown in the panel below apply to every chalet and Chalet Hotel in our programme. Infants must be under two years of age on the date of return travel. A cot and highchair will be supplied in our chalets, which must be pre-booked at the time of booking if required. Please bring your own cot linen.

Conditions:

Percentage reductions are shown off the basic adult price, before deduction of any adult 'cash-back' Crunch-Buster saving, and not including flight or room supplements, ski-packs, ski/snowboard carriage, insurance, or any other supplement.

Above reductions are for charter air-inclusive holidays. Children on Accommodation-Only holidays receive half the discounts shown above.

Children’s Meals

Children’s High Tea is provided at 5.30pm as the main evening meal for all children under 13 years, and is tailored more towards children’s normal tastes than our adult-only dinner menu, and includes plentiful soft drinks.

Children under 13 are not then permitted to join adult dinner. Teenagers aged 13 years and above join adult dinner.

Naturally, if you have booked a whole chalet for your exclusive use, the choice of dining separately or together is entirely up to you - please let us know at the time of booking however, so that we can plan and prepare properly for your arrival. For children under 13 receiving a child discount, there is a £39 supplement to upgrade from child meals to the adult menu.

Children’s Ski-Packs

We include all the necessary pre-booking information for children’s tuition as well as for children’s lift passes and equipment rental in all resorts.

We strongly recommend pre-booking all your family’s requirements, to simplify the process on arrival, and make the start of your holiday as smooth as possible.

There can often be quite a range of options available for children’s ski-school, with full or half-day lessons for example, or three or five-day courses, plus specific classes for teenagers, so these are not all detailed on the ski-pack pages. We do however recommend that you discuss your children’s tuition requirements with our Reservations team at the time of booking so that we may pre-book these for you, as availability can be limited, and you may risk not getting the ski classes you want if you leave arrangements until arrival in resort, especially of course on the peak holiday dates.
