Fun for all the Family
Here’s a whistle-stop tour of just a few proven favourites, which previous
Esprit guests have highlighted as the biggest hits with their children!
Swimming – all our resorts have pools, plus there
are some superb water-parks accessible by car, and our
Belle Plagne Chalet Hotel has its own indoor pool!
Activity Fun-Parks – forest adventure parks in
three of our resorts offer zip-wires, scramble-nets,
rope-swings and slides, or try Parc Walibi family
theme-park in France.
Animals – anything and everything four-footed and
furry is always a hit with children, from pony-rides and
farm visits to our marmot-spotting expeditions!
Cable-cars & Chairlifts – the thrill of riding
high above the trees is simply not to be missed, and
generally there are ice-creams, food and drinks at the top
to cap the ride!
Lakes, Streams & Rivers – from paddling and
dam-building to pedaloes, kayaks and river-rafts, there’s
nothing quite like messing about on the water!
Cycling & Mountain-Biking – from flat lakeside
paths to more rugged mountain tracks, there’s a wealth
of choice for families to enjoy bike rides of every level.
And still more for parents...
With the children safe, happy and having fun in our Nursery or Alpies Club,
it’s your chance to do what you want to do!
Hiking the hills – take on that all-day hike with a
local guide, and enjoy the challenge, scenery and
adventure that just wouldn’t be possible with the
little ones in tow.
White Water Rafting – there are gentler trips for
families too, but the adrenaline rush of wilder white water
is for adults and teenagers only.
Mountain-biking – your chance to explore trails
beyond the children’s reach, with or without a local guide,
and maybe using cable-cars and chairlifts to reach the
more challenging heights!
A Chance to Relax! – enjoying a book or a quiet
doze on the sun-terrace, relaxing by the pool, having a
massage – these are also pleasures that come with
a little child-free time.
