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.
