Being classified as a "P´tits Montagnards" resort (literally, Little Mountain Folk) this means that your children are welcomed and catered for by professionals.

There is plenty of snow and the ski area encompasses 265 km of runs across 5 resorts and linked villages, the Grand Massif. Aside from skiing and snowboarding, the resort offers a mutitude of activities (ice skating, snow-shoeing, dog sledging, snowmobiles, etc...) as well as hot air balloon. Les Carroz is the only resort to have its own logo-ed balloon and pilot specializing in mountain flights.
