The Chalet Hotel Tarentaise in Mottaret is a ski in/ski out chalet hotel that has fantastic childcare for all children aged between 4 months and 12 years old. The crèche is bright and colourful and leads right out into the snow so your children will have plenty of fun. The nannies can also drop off and pick up your children from ski school providing a full wrap around service.

Chalet Le Meleze Dore , Chalet L'Ancolie and Chalet Oxalys all offer a nursery and Snow Club in their sister property the Chalet Hotel Alba. The Snow Club is a fun packed half day for children aged 3-8 years where lunch is also provided. Any children who have lessons booked will be taken along by the nannies. Younger children aged 17 weeks to 40 months will love the nursery where the nannies will look after your little ones while you ski.
