For the older children the care moves towards one of logistics to get children to and from ski school, lunch and ski clubs. The needs will depend on ability and how much time you want to spend with or without your children. Without doesn’t mean abandoning, they have such a good time whether in ski school or at ski clubs, it depends on the balance that you choose as a family and what’s available with the holiday you’ve chosen.
