Going on a family ski trip with a nanny may seem like an unattainable luxury. However, this option offers many advantages for a successful vacation. Find out how to organize this type of stay and fully enjoy the joys of the mountains, particularly at Chalet Ararat in Megève.
What are the benefits of traveling with a ski nanny?
Going skiing with your children and a nanny offers multiple benefits for the whole family. Here are the main advantages of this option, which transforms your vacation into a truly luxurious experience.
How can a nanny enhance the family ski experience?
An experienced nanny provides valuable support during a ski holiday:
- She takes care of the children while the parents enjoy the slopes
- She helps with daily organization (meals, activities, etc.)
- It allows parents to relax in peace
With a nanny by your side, you can fully enjoy the 445 km of world-class slopes that Megève has to offer, without worrying about childcare or your baby.
Additionally, an experienced nanny can introduce your children to the joys of the mountains by accompanying them to ski school or organizing fun activities like sledding or igloo building. This allows parents to fully enjoy the more challenging slopes or indulge in relaxing moments at the spa, knowing that their children are also having enriching experiences.
Additionally, an experienced nanny can seamlessly adapt to the luxurious surroundings of Chalet Ararat. She can help organize exclusive family activities, such as private ski lessons for children on the green slopes of Megève, or skating sessions (figure skating?) on the village ice rink. This flexibility allows parents to fully enjoy the 445 kilometers of slopes while knowing that Super Nani is looking after the children at the chalet. In short, the Nanny is the person available who will make your life easier, saving you from traveling to the four corners of the resort for the various activities and you will be happy to meet up in the evening, with peace of mind to share your day.
What moments of relaxation can parents offer themselves?
Thanks to the presence of a nanny, parents can:
- Skiing together without the children on the most difficult slopes
- Enjoy a moment at the Chalet Ararat spa
- Enjoy a romantic dinner in one of Megève’s gourmet restaurants
According to a recent study, 78% of parents say their ski holidays are more relaxing and enjoyable when they are accompanied by a nanny.
