Best Family Chalet

This week we thought we would start with family skiing by taking a look at what makes the best family chalets stand out. So here is our top 10 features that we believe are the test in respect of whether a chalet really can claim itself as one of the best family chalets:

1. Number 1 has to be ski in ski out, or at least close to the lifts and main runs
2. Experienced and passionate staff and operator when it comes to family skiing (not necessarily however the branded family ski companies (brands aren't unfortunately people), but the ones who's guestbook have families waxing lyrical and when you talk to them they ooze knowledge and experience relating to family ski holidays)
3. A high staff to client ratio
4. Indoor swimming pool
5. Games Room of a good size and with good activities
6. Close to the local ski school
7. Nanny or childcare facilities on call
8. Children friendly menus cooked fresh and produced by a qualified chef (certified in food hygiene as apposed to a student fresh out of school or university) who understands childrens preferences
9. Luxury jacuzzi (the parents should always be pampered too)
10. On call driver to collect children whenever necessary
