Chamonix Resort Chalets and Hotels Child Care

Free Snow Fun, and two choices for free swimming!Attractions and Activities

Between the mountains on one side and the lake on the other, there is a wealth of choice here which few resorts can match. The lake offers pleasure-boat cruises, electric and rowing-boat hire, water-skiing, snorkelling, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, and there are public beaches for swimming. Local rivers add rafting, canoeing and canyoning, and the Optimum Leisure Centre in the heart of the village has superb indoor and outdoor pools, a water-slide and mini-golf.

Skiing and snowboarding (best in the mornings) are available with or without instruction and children will not want to miss the fantastic 'Cool & Easy' snow-fun activities on the Kitzsteinhorn - see our 'Esprit Extras'. And finally, there is also tennis, squash, and the magnificent 18-hole golf course in the valley between Kaprun and Zell.
