Scott Dunn Explorers in the Alps
Family skiing, without the juggling act. However your family likes to ski, Scott Dunn Explorers has a childcare option built around it: our purpose-built kids' club at Le Portetta in Courchevel, a private nanny who moves at your pace, or flexible afternoon care in Val d'Isère and Méribel.
Find your own rhythm on the mountain
Skiing with children is one of the great family holidays: first turns, hot chocolate by the fire, small faces lit up by snow for the first time, and, quietly, one of the most tiring. Scott Dunn Snow Explorers is built to hand you back the slopes, guilt-free. However, your family likes to ski, there's a shape of childcare to fit it: leave the children in expert hands at our purpose-built kids' club at Le Portetta in Courchevel, entrust them to a private nanny who moves at your pace, or draw on flexible afternoon care in Val d'Isère and Méribel. Each route leads to the same place, real time on the mountain, and real time to yourselves.
A dedicated Family Ski Specialist shapes it around you from the first conversation, a Guest Concierge team is on hand throughout, and an in-resort Guest Relations Manager keeps everything quietly in order, so all that's left for you to do is ski.
Discover our range of exclusive Scott Dunn Explorers childcare in the Alps
Explorers Kids Club at Portetta, Courchevel
Exclusively for Scott Dunn guests staying at Le Portetta in Courchevel Moriond 1650, our kids club sits right beside the ski school meeting point and nursery slopes, so little legs never have far to travel. For ages 4 months to 7 years, days unfold between climbing walls, slides, bowling, aqua-motion with surf, sledging, farm visits, and the odd well-timed stop for hot chocolate and crêpes. We collect from and return to ski school too, so your ski day, or your long lunch, runs entirely undisturbed.
Explorers Afternoon Club in Méribel and Val d’Isère
A fun-filled afternoon for children aged 6-11 years. Our Explorers team collects your children from ski school, take them to lunch at a local restaurant, then leads them through an exciting afternoon of adventure across the resort, the resort (climbing walls, sledging, swimming, bowling, snow-biking, and the occasional hot chocolate stop) before delivering them back to your door. Your ski day never needs to end early on their account.
Explorers Private Nanny service
For the most flexible option, our private nannies fit around your family's day in Val d'Isère, Tignes, Courchevel and Méribel, with half day or full day options, for children aged 4 months to 11. They'll ready your children for ski school and walk them to morning drop-off, freeing you to catch the first lift, linger over breakfast, or slip into the spa. Then they'll meet them at pick-up, oversee lunch, and take them off for an afternoon of fun activities in resort.
Which option is right for your family?
There's no single right answer here, only the one that suits how your family skis. Your Travel Specialist will get to know that as part of planning the rest of your trip, and match you to the childcare that fits. Just tell them what a good day on the mountain looks like for you.
