These are the big draws of course! If the kids would like to learn to ski or snowboard, or you’d like to improve as a family, you’ll find all the info you need on our Ski Schools page
The Paradis Des Praz is a lovely place for younger children. Just a pleasant 20 minute walk from the chalet, the kids can toboggan on inflatable “snow-rafts” through the forest, whilst the adults enjoy a Vin Chaud. There are lovely walks weaving through the snowy trees all around here, and it’s close to the cross-country trails which are great for all the family to enjoy, and run just a few minutes away from the chalet. Tobogganing is fun to do at some of the learner slopes, at the Paradis Des Praz, at the tobogganing area near the cross country foyer, not far from the chalet and of course in the garden!
The Tree Adventures are always a hit — suggested for kids from 4–9, there’s a circuit of tree activities such as rope bridges. Kids are attached at all times by a harness, so it’s very safe. In winter, it’s done with snowshoes and they have an evening option with fondue.
The ice rink is open daily: Saturday and Sunday from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday from 10am to 12noon, and then from 1.30pm to 4.30pm
There are often ice hockey matches in the evenings, too.
The swimming pool is always popular with its spiral waterslide. Entry to the pool and the ice rink is free for kids under five.
Evolution 2 can also organise snowshoeing, hot air balloon rides, or for an unforgettable treat, try a day’s husky sledging.
Here’s a rundown of the family friendly features of the chalet, and a list of the equipment we provide. France in general is a very child-friendly place and you’ll find families welcomed at all restaurants in Chamonix.
