Why this trip
Europe hardly goes higher: Val Thorens is the highest ski resort on the continent and lies in the heart of the Trois Vallées. For families with children a question therefore arises before booking: does the altitude suit the age? Toddlers often need more time to get used to it, and parents should keep the first days quiet. Between May and June or in September and October the resort is more a destination for those seeking calm than for piste fans.
The Funitel de Péclet and the cable car to the Cime de Caron take hikers up, and the view of the peaks becomes an experience for school-age children. A ride is short, so there are no long waiting times. Afterwards there remains room for a nap or a game in the village. Eight properties are available.
Courchevel, Val d'Isère and Chamonix lie in the neighbourhood and are suitable for excursions. A property with a family room in which the children sleep well in the evening makes sense. You settle the details in a video call, matched to the school holidays of your canton.
