Family skiing at Easter - and why is the Esprit website so rubbish?!?

[chalkyc2]

So I'm realising we've left this late! No childcare left in mark warner in tignes and all the other MW places get really mediocre reviews. I can't seem to search in the esprit website at all. Family ski etc all seem to be in lower resorts. Anyone have any good ideas? Has anyone been to Norway? We want catered accommodation in a high/snow sure resort with the option of a couple of days childcare so we don't have to pick our primary aged kids up from lessons every day.....why so hard?!?

For Esprit, the website has always been rubbish. The best thing is to just call them up, and they should be able to help. We've found their childcare to be excellent.

You have to speak to Esprit, they don't do quotes online (or never did).

My friends were in Norway last year and loved it. I've always fancied Are in Sweden. You have to arrange it yourself, but prices use to be very good.

Childcare wise, T4 Nannies in Tignes were excellent. We had a nanny that skied with us a couple of times and then took DD home. We went with Ski Total who serve 'high tea' and they let the nanny use the chalet in the afternoon.

Thank you both - that is helpful!

We went to Les Arc 2000 with Esprit for some Easter skiing this year and it was great. We booked last minute and managed to get both kids booked onto lessons and the youngest (3) also went to childcare (snowclub). The resort isn't very pretty but the skiing was great, especially for the little ones. I agree with above it's best to give Esprit a call.

We booked Esprit through Chaletline. They did all the searching for us and got a better price than Esprit were offering if we'd booked direct.

What sort of price do esprit do last minute? Is it worth holding out for the easter hols?
