Family Stays
The properties that take family travel as seriously as fine dining — supervised kids' clubs, connecting suites, ESF Kids' Garden shuttles and chefs who actually want to cook for nine-year-olds.
Where families stay
Les Airelles
Palace · La Mason des Enfants club
The benchmark family Palace — its children's universe takes a full floor, with magicians, pastry workshops and a private ski school annex.
Le K2 Palace
Connecting suites · K2 Kids
Chalet-style suites that connect, plus the K2 Kids programme — supervised lunch, snow-shoeing and creative workshops.
Barrière Les Neiges
Diane's Kids' Club · ski-in/ski-out
Slope-side ease for families — the kids ski-out under supervision while parents settle in the spa.
L'Apogée Courchevel
Petits Apogée club · Bellecôte access
The Oetker family club with cooking classes and a junior tea-time, plus straight access to the Bellecôte beginner zone.
Hôtel Annapurna
Family suites · indoor pool
Highest hotel in 1850 with generous family suites, a heated indoor pool and the gentlest beginner pistes at the door.
Private chalets (Bellecôte cluster)
6–9 bedrooms · staff
For three-generation trips, a staffed chalet is often the practical choice — own chef, own ski room, own rhythm.
