Hotel Du Glacier, La Thuile

If you require childcare, please talk to us before you make a booking.

Nursery (6 months - 3 years) is run by the team of childcare professionals and held in a dedicated room in the nearby Hotel Planibel equipped with games and toys. Outdoor play included (weather and parental consent permitting).

Nursery includes:

• Full-day care from 8.30am – 5pm
• 2-course hot lunch
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day
• A daily routine and activities report for your child

Activities vary daily and include stories, singing, arts and crafts including painting and collage making, plus messy play in the sand tray and free play with age-relevant toys set out for the children to choose what they want to do.

They will aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe snowy walks, a gondola ride or snow painting. And if your child is used to a sleep, it will be factored in too.

Cub Club (3-8 years) provides plenty of fun-filled days as the childcare staff offer a combination of care and skiing, which includes 6 x morning ski lessons, pick-up and drop-off from ski lessons, lunch and either full-day or half-day care by qualified staff in the dedicated Cub Club room.

Full-day Cub Club includes:
• Full-day care from 8.30am – 5pm
• 6 x morning ski lessons, ski school drop-offs and pick-ups*
• Child skis, boots and helmet hire
• 2-course hot lunch
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day
• Afternoon games and outdoor fun.

Half-day Cub Club includes:
• Half-day care from 8.30am – 2pm
• 6 x morning ski lessons, ski school drop-offs and pick-ups*
• Child skis, boots and helmet hire
• 2-course hot lunch
• Snacks and drinks throughout the day

* Lift passes aren't included as each child's needs are different. If and when your child feels confident enough to use the lifts, you'll need to buy a lift pass locally.

Activities vary daily – to include games, arts and crafts and storytime – and are often based around a theme.
They will aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe bus bingo, snowman competitions or a treasure hunt.

Both clubs run for 6 days and must be pre-booked to guarantee a place.

Please note, this is at an extra charge, and in some instances does not extend the full length of the ski season. Give us a call to chat through your options.

La Thuile is a great choice for beginners and improvers, with 152km of wide, uncrowded slopes and excellent snow conditions that have earned it the nickname “Little Siberia.” Confident skiers can progress on long, gentle reds or cross into France to explore the wider Espace San Bernardo area around La Rosière.

A former mining village, La Thuile is quiet and understated, with a handful of bars offering a relaxed Italian après-ski experience, usually centred around an aperitivo with complimentary snacks. The surrounding scenery is spectacular, with views stretching towards the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Mont Blanc.
