Our childcare
Here at Esprit, we understand the importance of the whole family having fun on holiday. We have led the childcare concept for UK families on skiing holidays for the last 40 years, and our childcare options are regularly evaluated and improved, with previous guest feedback always the key element in further enhancing the Esprit experience.
For parents, joining us on an Esprit family ski holidays means you have the opportunity to be able to leave your accommodation after breakfast to head for the first lifts, only needing to return after the last one shuts. Our energetic and caring childcare team look after your children throughout the day at our ski schools and kids' clubs.
We do however have an important update on the future of Esprit Ski.
We’re proud to have spent 41 years helping families make lifelong memories and introducing many children to the joy of skiing along the way.
Regretfully we have made the extremely difficult decision to make the 2023/24 season Esprit's last winter. Moving forward, we will place all our focus, and our passion for skiing, into our sister brand Inghams. We understand you may find this news disappointing.
If you’re still thinking about making memories as a family in the mountains, our ski holidays are still going ahead this season, so this is your last chance to book with Esprit. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating Esprit and making our last season the best one yet!
Continue your family ski legacy with us
If you still want to wait until next winter, you can continue your family ski legacy with our sister brand Inghams. Brought to you by the same dedicated team as Esprit, tap into 90 years of expert ski knowledge and high quality service, along with a greater choice across 72 resorts and family friendly accommodation options.
Whilst we don’t offer the Esprit childcare service with Inghams, do look out for many of our favourite Esprit properties with Inghams next winter.

Our ski lessons
The Esprit approach is to work closely with the local ski schools and select the best English-speaking children’s instructors to run ski classes for Esprit children, with guaranteed small classes. These small classes are vital for children's safety, enjoyment and progress.
Unless parents are collecting children themselves directly after a class, we always escort children to and from their Esprit Sprite & Spritelet ski classes, and between their classes and supervised lunches, Mountain Academy or Snow Club, plus our signing in/out procedures take place at every point between Esprit staff and parents or ski instructors.
If your child wants a different class to our Esprit lessons (such as snowboarding) then we can also offer this Free Class Connection Service which we call 'Ski Chaperone'. Call our reservations team for details.
We have found that ability, as much as age, is a key deciding factor in balancing children’s ski classes, so we can offer a range of different classes to fit your child's needs.
