skiing- powder byrne

I%26#39;m thinking of taking my 4 and 2 year olds skiing for the first time. A friend has recommended Powder Byrne as they offer child care and small groups. Has anyone else been with them? It sound pretty expensive so is it worth it?

Had never heard of them, so had a look at their website now, looks quite comprehensive, however they state they are LUXURY Holidays, so undoubtedly they will be costly. There is nothing like a personal reccommendation however, so find out from your friend EXACTLY why they are so good - did they actually use them themselves, was there anything that happened that they would change??

TBH there are good family packages for skiing with such as First Choice, Thompson, Crystal, Neilsson etc, so don%26#39;t necessarily think that you will need anything TOO exclusive.

France has good ski resorts with good facilities for young children, but you can find this at most ski resorts these days, so have a look at Andorra for a much cheaper but still VERY good option.

Hi Emma- we have just come back from our third holiday with Powder Byrne. We went to Grindelwald this year and Flims last year (Elba in the summer). They are very good with children of all ages. Our son is 2.5 years old so he spent time in the creche and doing activities in the snow with the nannies...I can%26#39;t wait for next year when he will be starting to ski. Powder Byrne staff works closely with the local English speaking instructors and children have a great time on their first ski experince. Hotel Belvedere in Grindelwald was excellent. Great food and nice rooms.
