Label Famille Plus: mountain destinations that have it

First of all, the Family Plus label means a tailor-made welcome for families. Label destinations are well aware that traveling with children requires a great deal of organization. No more long waits at check-in with children spinning around like spinning tops (it's like being in Inception sometimes... do you have the ref'? 😉 ).

Then there's the entertainment for all ages. Whether your little ones are three apples or nearly six feet tall, there's always something to capture their attention. From creative workshops for budding little artists to snowshoe hikes for adventurous teens, the label ensures fun times for all. 🎨

Let's talk money. No one is forgotten here. Whether it's for activities, the ski area, accommodation, or even catering, there are rates to suit small purses and big wallets alike. A real helping hand for families! 💰

Need a little time to yourself? No problem! The kids can have fun in complete safety while you set off to explore the cross-country ski slopes or hiking trails. And for some bonding time, why not enjoy a family sledging session? 🛷

With the Label Famille Plus, shops and services are within easy reach (or within easy reach of your feet if you can't walk on your hands yet 😜). Need to rent ski equipment or buy forgotten gloves? It's all there, in the heart of the resort, without having to travel miles. Practical, isn't it? 🏪

Last but not least, the professionals pamper the families they love and adore with all their heart! 🥰 The teams at Family Plus-labeled resorts know all the tricks to make your children smile, and are always ready to respond to your needs. They're like a house fairy, but for vacations! 👩‍🍳👨‍🔧

Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura... Whatever your compass point, there's always a Famille Plus village ready to welcome you for a holiday where every member of the family will find something to suit them, from the youngest to the grandparents. Cross-country skiing through snow-covered forests, snowshoe treks under azure skies, or snowball fights, it's all there to create unforgettable memories. 🌲
