Les Arcs has a bit of a reputation for being “serious skier” territory — big mountains, huge lift systems, and miles of pistes disappearing off into the distance. What people don’t always realise is that it’s also one of the most family-friendly winter resorts in the French Alps, especially if you’re travelling with children of different ages, confidence levels and energy reserves.
There’s plenty to look forward to and appreciate in winter this year. You can have fun in the snow, learn to recognise the changes it brings, and spend some cosy time with your family or partner.
With more snow forecast over the next couple of weeks and some icy weather on its way, I thought I would put together a quick list of the important things to keep in mind when children are playing in the snow. We want this to be a fun experience for everyone, not one where everyone ends up crying or moaning!
If you are a regular reader of the blog you’ll know how much my tribe like the snow. Like, well that doesn’t actually cover it to be honest – we LOVE the snow, and I’m probably the biggest fan of all.
If you are a regular reader of the blog you will know how much we all love to ski as a family. It’s something we’ve both done since we were children and we introduced the children to it early on.
There’s no doubt about it, playing in the snow is so much fun. Especially if it doesn’t come that often. Playing in the snow can bring the biggest smiles to the smallest faces, and that first time the snow falls, well there’s no other way to describe than totally magical. Witnessing your child’s first experience of snow and snowflakes is truly wonderful.
