The Best-Kept Secret Week in the Ski Calendar
Our pre Christmas family ski holiday in Italy is designed for families looking to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed way to ski.
This early season week in Courmayeur offers something rare – quiet slopes, no queues, and a genuinely calm atmosphere. It’s a quiet ski holiday that still delivers excellent conditions, with consistently strong early season skiing over the past five years.
Combined with Archie’s fully hosted children’s programme, it creates a week where everything feels easy. Children build confidence in small groups, make friends, and love every moment, while parents finally get the freedom to ski properly and enjoy the mountains.
A smarter, more enjoyable way to ski as a family before Christmas.
How It Works
We take care of everything, so you can enjoy skiing again.
This family ski holiday with childcare is built around simplicity and flow. Each morning, children are supported from start to finish – from getting ready to heading into their ski lessons with our team on hand throughout.
Lessons are in small, English-speaking groups (typically 3-5, max 6), allowing children to progress quickly and build confidence.
At lunchtime, children eat together at a dedicated mountain restaurant before continuing skiing or heading back to our on-mountain HQ.
Afternoons are flexible – a mix of skiing, games, and downtime. Think ski races, team challenges, and creative activities like tie-dye.
Twice during the week, we host evening kids’ sessions (movie nights and games), giving parents the chance to enjoy long lunches or relaxed evenings out.
