We are just about to book for a week in January with Snowline. We had a terrible experience last year with Esprit. Just wondered if anyone have used Snowline before?

We've been with Snowline twice, once years ago and once when DS was 5 months old. We used their Marmot's den creche in Val d'Isere and were very happy with it. The food was excellent, and the staff cheerful, friendly and helpful in both chalets. In Meribel, we were driven to and from the slopes every day at a time convenient to us (not necessary in Val).

Not sure how it would work out with older children though - there was a 3 year old in our chalet who was bored as there weren't any similarly aged children at the creche and he was too young for ski school.

What was your problem with esprit, crin? I've heard such mixed reviews and DS1 is going to be working for them this winter as a Snow Ranger - he's looking forward to it so I'm hoping it will work well but I worry!

Thanks ladygrinningsoul. Ours are 4 and 6 and we are going with two other families with children the same age so hopefully will be O.K. We are going to La Plagne and have booked two nannies between all the families so we'll see...

WendyWeber - I have posted about our experiences before in the thread about Esprit 3 hour transfer - tips for two small boys 30-Jan-07 - hope you can find it. If you've got any more questions I'll happily try and answer. Some friends went to a different resort later in the season and had a great time if that helps.

We had a fab time in Meribel with Snowline.

The food was fantastic and the chalet was lovely. Has spoiled us for any future skiing trips!

Found it, thanks, crin.

Staffing does seem to be iffy, doesn't it?
